By beating Ragusa in their last seasonal outing at the “Fresina”, Città di Sant’Agata earned the chance to play their chances of qualifying for the playoffs on the last day on the pitch of unbeaten league leaders Trapani.
There was no other result other than victory for both teams in a match that was particularly physical and tactically blocked for long stretches, also due to the specific weight of the points up for grabs. The first half had some ups and downs, mostly the result of free kicks or sporadic episodes, then in the second half it was an open confrontation, an all-out duel in search of victory.
Sant’Agata was therefore able to make the most of a sensational error by Ragusa’s defence, with the Manservigi-Mbaye duo protagonist of an unfortunate disengagement which resulted in the penalty kick earned and impeccably scored by Totò Mincica.
A goal that sent the “Fresina” into public ecstasy as they greeted the blue and whites in jubilation. The race for fifth place will be decided entirely, as mentioned, in the last 90 minutes of the season with Città di Sant’Agata today at 52 points, +1 on Real Casalnuovo, who will face Siracusa at home on the last day, and Acireale , which will close away against Sancataldese.
