The number of accidents that broke out before and after last Sunday’s match between Pescara and Ancona is worsening. In total, six people were injured: an official from the Pescara police station, a policeman, three soldiers from the financial police and the trader who was hit by splinters from his shop window, which was shattered by a stone thrown before the kick-off whistle. . The police officer, who intervened to avoid contact between the two fans, underwent surgery two days ago for a fractured jaw. The policeman suffered a severe bruise on his finger (15 day prognosis). Of the three financiers, one suffered a fractured toe (prognosis of 30 days) due to the explosion of a firecracker, another fractured the phalanx of his hand (prognosis of 20 days) and the third was shot a shoulder suffering a blunt trauma that can be healed in 5 days. In the meantime, Digos investigations continue to identify the alleged perpetrators and the first reports and the Daspo (Prohibition from attending sporting events) will almost certainly arrive shortly. Furthermore, last Sunday’s riots may have had an immediate consequence. There is a strong risk, in fact, that the Fermo away match will be banned for Pescara fans. In recent days the Observatory has blocked the sale of tickets and this morning at the end of the Gos (Security Operational Group) meeting the final decision will be made.
THE LAST
Last match of the regular season on Sunday, then time for the play offs. At 8pm Pescara will take on Fermana away and Cascione will have to do without Squizzato, who is disqualified for one match. A victory would allow the biancazzurri to maintain seventh place or rise to sixth, if Juventus Next Gen did not win on the Vis Pesaro pitch. Therefore, a match not to be missed to play the first match of the promotion play-offs at home. In this case the Dolphin would have two results out of three available (a draw in the 90th minute would be enough) to access the second play-off round. In place of Squizzato the use of Dagasso is almost certain. The main doubt concerns Aloi who risks missing the match due to a severe knee contusion suffered during the match in Olbia last April 14th. Aloi will most likely remain rested and then be ready for the play offs. In attack the trident will be made up of Merola, Accornero and one between Vergani and Cuppone.
QUALIFIED
With 90 minutes remaining in the regular season, 24 teams have already qualified for the promotion play-offs. All done in group B, that of Pescara, where only the placings can change in the playoffs. The qualifiers are Torres, Carrarese, Perugia, Gubbio, Juventus Next Gen, Pescara, Pontedera, Rimini and Arezzo. Group A includes Padova, Vicenza, Triestina, Atalanta U23, Legnago Salus, Giana Erminio, Lumezzane, to which two other teams will be added. Finally, in group C, Avellino, Benevento, Casertana, Picerno, Taranto, Giugliano and Crotone are already in the play-offs. Latina, Cerignola, Foggia and Sorrento are in the running for the other two places. Pay attention, however, to the situation of Catania who, thanks to the victory in the Italian Cup, gained access to the promotion play-offs. In the event that the Etna team went to the play outs (now sixth from last, +1 from Turris) they would give way to the eleventh place in group C.
