January 4 – 10.10pm – MILAN

There were three league leaders on the field this Sunday, none of them won. Vicenza equal, defeat for Ravenna, also equal for Catania. Here’s what happened.

GROUP A

Only one point for Vicenza, on the pitch of a Lumezzane team who nevertheless achieved 11 useful results in a row: in the second half, the league leaders passed with Morra on a corner development but were reached by Caccavo. Outside equal that can be there, but which reduces the advantage over second place by one point. There where Corini’s Brescia climbs, which – despite the many absences – overturns the Arzignano of his former roommate (at the time of Palermo) Daniele Di Donato: Moretti unlocks it, then Di Maria takes over and inspires the goals of Rizzo and Boci. Now the ranking says: Vicenza 50, Brescia 39, Lecco 38. Dossena’s management at Novara opens with one point (0-0 in Monza with Inter U23), while Dolomiti Bellunesi returns to success, more concrete than an AlbinoLeffe overcome with a goal in each half from Gobetti and Clemenza.

group b

Changing of the guard at the top, because Ravenna slips in Campobasso and therefore Arezzo – after Saturday’s blow in Forlì – takes command. The former AC Milan player Futuro Gala beat Marchionni’s team twice, Luciani’s provisional equalizer from the spot was not enough. Second victory in a row for Perugia, who advance to Guidonia with goals and assists from Montevago. In the battle for salvation on the Bra pitch, the Sambenedettese allowed themselves to be caught twice, failing to achieve the victory that had been missing for three months: equal on a penalty with time expired by Baldini.

group c

Benevento smiles in front of the TV, as tomorrow they will have the opportunity to isolate themselves at the top (they host Crotone) but in the meantime they will enjoy the bitter afternoon for their competitors at the top. In the match at 12.30, Catania – without the newly arrived Bruzzaniti, who has not yet trained with his new teammates – returns with just one point from Foggia: Mimmo Toscano’s team reacts to Bevilacqua’s goal by triggering Buttaro’s own goal, but is unable to go beyond the draw. Salernitana fared significantly worse, capable of losing on the pitch of a demobilized Siracusa team awaiting a penalty: Achik shortened the score at the end of the first half after the double advantage signed by Di Paolo and Contini, then Candiano closed the score and – thanks to the expulsion of the new arrival Arena – there was no reaction. For the moment, there seems to be no sign of an exemption for Raffaele. In case of success in the postponements, Cosenza (with Monopoli) and Casertana (which goes to Altamura) can also enter the race for the top. In the moment of maximum uncertainty for the future of the club (many big names leaving and another referral, which arrived yesterday), Trapani proudly beat Casarano: Romanian Stauciuc solves the problem, first goal among professionals, just arrived from Fasano. Nice saving move for Latina, who hadn’t won since October, in Caravaggio: Atalanta U23 beaten with a brace from Paris, a former Atalanta player during his time with the Primavera. After six defeats in a row, Giugliano di Capuano starts again and returns from Potenza with a precious point (conquered despite half an hour with ten players due to the red card for Prezioso).
