L’Aquila Montevarchi wins 1 to 0 on the Vivi Altotevere Sansepolcro pitch thanks to a goal by Francalanci in the final and obtains direct mathematical salvation thanks to a 12 point advantage over Sansepolcro and Real Forte Querceta. To try to save themselves through the playouts, the Bianconeri will have to win against San Donato Tavarnelle (now in the playout zone but already safe like Montevarchi) and hope that Real Forte Querceta does not win the derby against Seravezza Pozzi. Sansepolcro could also be satisfied with a draw but only if Real Forte lost and Orvietana did not win against Livorno.
Returning to the match, the match immediately took a turn for the worse with Essoussi’s expulsion in the 13th minute for a hard foul on Luschi. Despite this, five minutes later Sansepolcro came close to scoring with Fracassini, while Montevarchi responded on the half hour mark with Vitali who missed from a few steps away. The home team held on well despite their numerical inferiority and in the second half the scoring opportunities alternated one on each side, the two goalkeepers were alert and ready for every ball. In the 39th minute the decisive episode, Francalanci manages to beat Di Stasio with a header and put his team forward who in the end even came close to doubling their lead on the restart.
