The Umbrians draw the defeat of the first leg thanks to De Boer but do not find the doubling despite the numerical superiority. The Milan goalkeeper is enhanced by the spot
The magic is accomplished. After four years, Pescara returns to B, is the masterpiece of Silvio Baldini who – supported by the property and DS Pasquale Foggia – has never stopped believing in it even in the moments of shadow of the season. To get the better of an excellent Ternana, who had drawn the disadvantage of measurement of the first leg, you need to drag it to the penalties: the absolute protagonist the goalkeeper Plizzari, decisive in both 90 ‘and then in the shots from the spot. With his parades, the former Milan (now owned by Venice) starts the party for the twenty thousand of the Adriatic, under the eyes of Marco Verratti ready to enter the club alongside President Sebastiani.
First three parades
–
Ternana starts proactive, looking for the door three times in the first quarter of an hour (without creating great dangers), however, risks in its area on a contact between Maestrelli and Meazzi: for Calzavara, all too light to think of whistling. You arrive in balance close to half an hour and it is there that Pescara – also without the disqualified Squazzato and Merola – turns out to be vulnerable: Lancini must go out with a painful knee, in his place the recovered pellacani enters and finds himself immediately in the middle of a siege. On two consecutive corner kicks, Plizzari – ex on duty, was in Terni as a very young age – brings out the super powers and puts three decisive parades: first on Curcio, then on the riveted of Martella, to close the series of prowessing opposing the header of the Pescara Doc Capuano, captain of the Ternana. Three parades that will represent the first bricks of the promotion to the rendering of the accounts.
red and turning

After the interval Baldini is forced to another forced change: Pellacani does not make it, he must in turn be replaced by Lonardi who – in the emergency – goes to adapt in defense. Liverani also changes a lot, first with the usual relay forward between Cianci (warned) and Ferrante, then with the contemporary entry of De Boer (also on the return), Ciammaglichella and Damiani. Just the former Palermo (he was promoted with Baldini in 2022) is the protagonist of the episode that changes the game: Dagasso enters him with a rigid foot on the upper part of the ankle, the serious game foul is conceptually similar to what in the first leg led to the expulsion of Vallocchia. This time, however, it is Pescara who ended up in ten, exposing himself to the assault of the Ternana who already in numerical equal would have deserved the advantage. After a simulation in the area of Ciammaglicella, the goal that restores the overall equality arrives: the old pirate Alfredo Donnarumma – inside he too from the bench – works the ball behind the door, the exhaust is on De Boer who kicks very well from 18 meters, giving no escape this time to Plizzari. The Audandese goal makes the wind change to the Adriatic. Also going emotionally to the command of the match, in the final of the 90 ‘the Ternana goes close to the doubling twice: first with Damiani who kicks just outside the edge of the area, then with the header of Donnarumma who crosses badly. It is not enough to avoid extra time.
A hero between the posts
–
The extra half hour clearly sees Pescara on the piece to limit the damage, while numerical superiority pushes guests forward in an attempt to avoid penalties. At minute 107, Plizzari flies to a shot by Damiani and hurts the left ankle: the Adriatic falls into silence because Baldini has exhausted the replacements (last to enter Arena, born in 2009, returned from the European U17) but the medical staff manages to put the blue -white goalkeeper back on his feet. So much is enough to get to playing it from the spot, under the north curve, temple of home cheering. Dolorly, at the limits of the heroic, Plizzari also compares three penalties to Ferrante, Casasola and Donnarumma. A giant that ends in tears, of pure joy.
