Group A

–

Both Südtirol and Padova win, with Javorcic’s team maintaining a seven-point lead and taking another step towards direct promotion. Casiraghi’s goal is enough for the leaders to overcome Seregno with the seventh 1-0 at home, thirteenth of the season. Fifth victory in as many games at the helm of Padova for Massimo Oddo, who overcomes the Juventus U23 obstacle in Alessandria (2-1, Jelenic and Della Latta respond to Da Graca). For the second consecutive round both thirds fall: Renate in Busto Arsizio on the field of a Pro Patria at the third consecutive success (1-0, Pierozzi), Feralpisalò in Verona (1-0, Zigoni) at the hands of a Virtus who he had also missed a penalty with Danti. Pro Vercelli goes up again, returning with a smile from Legnago thanks to Panico (1-0). On the seventh attempt, AlbinoLeffe hits the victory in the new Zanica stadium: 2-1 in Lecco, Poletti and Gusu scored, Morosini’s reaction on a free kick was too late. Triestina loses the fourth game in a row, beaten by a comeback in Trento (2-1) in a match decided entirely in the second half: Chinellato and Pattarello replicate in Gomez. Historic Sunday for Fiorenzuola, who won the Piacenza derby for the first time after the war (1-0) thanks to Giani’s first goal of the season and then defended the advantage by gritting their teeth (a post and a crossbar for the hosts) . Second consecutive victory for the Pergolettese of the new course: Giana overtaken 2-0 by Lucenti and Varas and three important points since they all lost behind them. Including the Pro Sesto, overtaken at home by Mantova (2-1, Monachello again).

Group C

Another week passes and Serie B approaches for Bari, who maintain a 10-point lead over second place and with a combination of favorable results could celebrate already on Sunday by beating Fidelis Andria at San Nicola. In the meantime, Scavone’s goal was enough for the leaders to spin out with the three points with the Vibonese. “It was a very difficult match – the comment of the red and white coach Mignani -, it didn’t matter to be beautiful but humble in overcoming another obstacle”. Catanzaro also won: 2-0 already in the first 11 ‘at Ceravolo (Vandeputte and Iemmello scored) on a Turris conditioned by five Covid positives including that of the coach Caneo. For Vivarini’s team a profitable round for the defense of second place, given the braking of the pursuers. Avellino, ahead of Messina with Aloi, gets caught up in the recovery by Piovaccari (1-1) who signs a precious external peer. Francavilla even slips into the house, which has not won in four games and is overtaken by Picerno (1-0, Paris) who relaunches in the playoff perspective. A point for Palermo, which recovers Potenza from 2-0 to 2-2: Lucani ahead with Romero and a pearl of the usual Cuppone (seven goals in ten games), then Soleri enters the scene who scores the eighth goal as a substitute and conquers the rigor transformed by Brunori. At the end of the game, Silvio Baldini’s hard outburst did not like his approach to the game. The best Foggia of the season crashes Catania (5-1) closing the Zaccheria challenge already in the first half (5-0 at half-time): double by Merola (scored after 18 ”) and goal number 15 by Alexis Ferrante. Raffaele Costantino’s hat-trick is worth 3-0 to Monterosi over Juve Stabia and a very quiet 43, with a view to the playoffs. Campobasso has three points less (but also two games to recover), 2-0 at Latina with the signings of Persia and Bolsius. At Fidelis Andria the very delicate salvation battle with Paganese: 1-0, Urso decisive on a penalty and protests by the Campania club against the referee direction. Taranto-Monopoli postponed to April 6 due to 14 Covid positive results in the home team.
