In Group A, the leaders are successful. Albinoleffe also does well in a comeback. Trapani loses in chaos in Latina
Vicenza’s short-nosed style is becoming a trademark: overcoming a good Ospitaletto side with an opening goal from Cuomo (from a corner), the leaders are back on track and once again secure a 1-0 victory (the same result in their last five wins). They remain 11 points ahead of second place, as Brescia secured their fourth consecutive victory under Corini – with maximum points since he took over – beating Trento: here too, it was a defender, Gigi Silvestri, who proved decisive, as he had been in the last game of 2025. Inter U23, who had not won in six games, got back on track: a brace from Nino La Gumina (as in the first leg) was enough to overcome Pro Patria, for whom newcomer Desogus was not enough to avoid a sixth consecutive defeat. Renate consolidated their place in the playoff zone, ahead of Wednesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Latina: Foschi’s team are in good form, securing their third consecutive victory away to Giana thanks to Karlsson. Two counterattacks were enough for Lumezzane – 12 positive results in a row – to win away at Pergolettese, with former player Caccavo also on the scoresheet. AlbinoLeffe also had reason to smile, overturning Pro Vercelli (De Paoli’s 2-1 goal came in stoppage time).
Group B— Ravenna stalled, unable to go beyond a 0-0 draw with Forlì on the night of Nicolas Viola’s debut as a starter (he was the best player on the field, however). Marchionni has earned one point in the last three games, with Arezzo now able to extend their lead to four points if they beat Pontedera tomorrow, while Ascoli has climbed to within five points of second place. In the other game, with a spectacular 2-2 draw in Sassari (Diakitè equalized from the penalty spot in stoppage time), Torres and Campobasso continued their positive runs: fifth positive result for the Sardinians, fourth for Zauri’s team. Group C— Crotone’s poor run continues, with Gomez hitting the crossbar but then being punished by Altamura, who scored thanks to a header from Alessio Curcio. Sorrento-Foggia was decided by a great left-footed shot from distance (with a deflection) by Maltese international Shaw, making his first start: Bevilacqua’s second goal in a row was not enough for former Barilari, as Sabbatani immediately equalized. After the new penalty, which saw them slip into the playout zone, Trapani lost the head-to-head clash in Latina: Volpe’s team, another cup semifinalist (along with Potenza and Ternana, who took to the field in the early matches), was led by center forward Giacomo Parigi with his second consecutive brace (Basti, replacing the suspended Mastrantonio, saved Fischnaller’s penalty kick in the second half that could have tied the game).
