Minute 45+2: THE FIRST HALF ENDS, ANCONA-LUCCHESE 0-0.
Minute 45+1: Russo is also booked, as he hooks Saco from behind who was fleeing to the outfield on the right.
Minute 45: Two minutes of added time allowed.
While the game was stopped due to an injury to Astrologo, the news arrived that Pescara had doubled their lead over Fermana.
Minute 39: First card also for Ancona: Martina booked for a late tackle on Guadagni.
Minute 38: First yellow card of the match: yellow for Alagna for a flashy hold on Martina.
Minute 38: Lucchese also shows up forward, with an acrobatic attempt by Russo at the height of the penalty spot, but the ball ends up well over the crossbar.
Minute 37: Spagnoli tries, rising very high on Paolucci’s center but unable to give strength to his header, and Coletta blocks without problems.
Minute 35: After the initial outburst, Ancona slowed down the pace and the game proceeded without particular emotions.
Meanwhile, news arrives that Pescara’s “Recchioni” has an advantage over Fermana. With these results, Ancona saves.
19th minute: SACO SCORES, BUT OFFSIDE. Goal disallowed for the red and whites, due to the offside position of the Franco-Malian, who had been punctual in correcting a cross from the right into the net by Cella.
Meanwhile, the match between Entella and Recanatese is unlocked: the hosts take the lead, who would be safe with a victory.
Minute 10: Saco shows up again in the Tuscan area, following the development of the first shot from the flag, but the red and white midfielder’s shot misses the target.
Minute 8: Ancona constantly maintains possession, also pushing the defenders with Cella who tries a cross from the right which turns into a cross shot which ends just above the crossbar.
Also worth checking is the Rossoneri’s defensive structure which is completely new, given that the Tuscans are lining up at the “Del Conero” – at least initially – without any permanent central defender, amid ailments, injuries and suspensions.
Minute 1: NOW WITH THE SACO! Gatto under pressure steals the ball in the midfield, the ball inside the area for Saco who, a few meters from Coletta, misses the control and is unable to hit the net from a very favorable position.
The choreography of a packed Curva Nord was beautiful, with the large flag covering the entire sector occupied by the red and white fans.

The appointment with salvation arrives for Ancona. The red and whites, in front of the “Del Conero” crowd and owner Tony Tiong who came to encourage the group in this very delicate match, are looking for the three good points to cross the finish line of salvation without waiting for any good news from the other fields. Facing the Dorians, a Lucchese team that now has a safe place to remain in the category but has had to abandon its play-off intentions, although the squad set up had ambitions of entering the play-offs table which will give away a place in the next Serie B.
