A victory to close the regular season. But that is not enough to avoid the playouts: 8 years later, the fate of Monopoli in Serie C will pass through a double comparison that cannot be wrong. On the pitch, Veneziani proved fatal to Messina, who had no particular ambitions: the final result was 2-1.
Monopoli starts sprinting immediately and wants to immediately set the record straight and find the way to the goal. In the 3rd minute Viteritti corner and Fornasier’s head, ball in the corner. Successful attempt in the 9th minute: Borello in the circumstance propitiates Salvo’s own goal who mocks his own rearguard in the area. In the 34th minute Messina replies with Zunno, the ball goes wide. In the 36th minute it was Polito who narrowly missed the goal.
In the second half for the second half we had to wait just after the 46th minute: the green and whites restarted quickly and the ball ended up at Tommasini’s feet. He tries to oppose Piana, but without success. It’s 2-0. But Messina is not there and in the 53rd minute closes the gap: the inattention in the defensive phase is fatal which leads to Luciani’s flash, 2-1. Very shortly after, Tommasini comes close to scoring a trio, a low shot which Piana rejects and which then fails to materialise. In the 56th minute Borello feeds Iaccarino, played in close quarters and final shot: rejected. Final thrill in the 68th minute with Ragusa, Dalmasso relaxes well. Then the curtain falls: 42 points for the green and whites in 38 days, but it’s not over yet.
