The Marches, in recovery, beat Vis Pesaro and join the Tuscans at 71 points at the top of the Group B standings. Trento consolidates fourth place in Group A by winning against Alcione
Here’s what happened in the 13 games this Easter Saturday. The day’s program will continue on Monday.
Group A

Trento is also in full swing for third place, relaunching themselves 2 points behind Lecco and with a game in hand: to beat Alcione – who had their chances – they need the penalty converted by Capone with time almost up. On Wednesday 8 April during recovery time, Tabbiani’s team will visit Inter U23 (in Monza), who are returning to success after 10 days of abstinence: on the Pro Vercelli pitch Amerighi and Alexiou resolve with headers, then Pro reacts but is imprecise in front of goal.
Pro Vercelli-Inter U23 0-2 Amerighi in the 14th minute, Alexiou in the 42nd minute
Trento-Alcione 1-0 Capone on a penalty in the 43rd minute

Anything happens and the ranking, at the top, changes shape: Arezzo and Ascoli now have the same points, with the Tuscans ahead on goal difference in the two matches. But the wind now seems favorable to Ascoli, who overturns Vis Pesaro with time up and gives another shock after last Monday’s direct clash: the former Stellone’s Vis takes the lead with Lari’s first professional goal, then begins a siege (fuelled by Tomei’s substitutions) which only bears fruit after the 90th minute, first with Chakir’s equalizer then with Milanese’s overtaking which makes Del Duca explode with joy. The great rivals of Sambenedettese had done a favor to Ascoli in the afternoon, however indirect, by holding Arezzo to 0-0 and they continue to hold back: in the second half, Fvs denied Bucchi’s team a penalty (Cortesi was booked for simulation) and on the other hand a goal to Eusepi. Ravenna, meanwhile, is one step away from becoming the best third (a nice advantage, with a playoff perspective): to beat a good Pineto, all it takes is the usual flash of opportunism from Fischnaller, who scored his sixth goal in the last four games. Campobasso is isolated in fourth place, dominating the Pianese field thanks to a brace from Bifulco, capable of exploiting defensive errors. Guidonia and Ternana move the table, both in a less than brilliant moment: back and forth in the second half with the individual exploits of Majer and Tessiore for the home team’s equaliser. Perugia’s positive streak extends, as they overtake Juventus Next Gen twice, achieving their sixth useful result which keeps them above the playout zone: the result was set in the second half by Ladinetti’s penalty (awarded to Fvs for a foul by Anghelè on Bolsius). At the bottom, Bra beat Forlì, thus returning to a success that had been missing since the end of January (Pontedera’s arithmetic relegation could arrive in the next round).
Pianese-Campobasso 0-2 Bifulco (C) in the 39th minute; Bifulco 50′ st
Sambenedettese-Arezzo 0-0 Bra-Forlì 2-1 Onofri (F) in the 3rd minute, Lionetti (B) in the 21st minute Milani (B) in the 23rd minute
Guidonia-Ternana 1-1 Majer at 29′ st. Tessiore at 38′ st
Perugia-Juventus Next Gen 2-2 Anghelè (J) at 7′, Montevago (P) at 34′, Guerra (J) at 42′ pt; Ladinetti (P) on a penalty in the 20th minute
Ravenna-Pineto 1-0 Fischnaller (R) in the 29th minute
Ascoli-Vis Pesaro 2-1 Lari (W) at 15′ st, Chakir (A) at 49′ st Milanese (A) at 51′ st
group c
—
While waiting for Salernitana-Benevento, Monday’s big match, Cosenza took third place by narrowly beating a Foggia team that was increasingly in trouble: they solved Ciotti at the start by punishing Perucchini’s uncertain exit, who however denied Baez the second goal from the spot (in full injury time, protests from Foggia for a goal disallowed by Cangiano due to a dubious previous foul). Seventh consecutive home victory for Buscè’s team. Casertana also continues to run, achieving their fourth victory in a row in Cava: Casarotto unlocks the lead at the start of the second half, following a free kick. Even though they were hit by penalties, Siracusa (3-3 with Atalanta U23, a brace for Di Paolo, in the next decisive direct clash in Foggia for Turati’s team) and Trapani continue to fight at the back, even taking a point on the Monopoli pitch.
Cosenza-Foggia 1-0 Ciotti in the 7th minute
Monopoli-Trapani 1-1 Knezovic (T) at 37 pts; Scipioni (M) in the 22nd minute
Syracuse-Atalanta U23 3-3 Cassa (A) at 5′, Di Paolo (S) at 15′, Cancellieri (S) at 22′ pt; Ghislandi (A) in the 12th minute, Di Paolo (S) in the 19th minute, Levak (A) in the 28th minute
Cavese-Casertana 0-1 Casarotto on the 6th floor
