Distefano decides it in the final
In the end the greater motivations of the home team prevailed as they physically demonstrated that they were better than Mister Vivarini’s eleven who paid for the absences and the greater physical effort in the last round against Venezia. The match remained substantially balanced in the first half with the two teams, also thanks to the heat, facing each other at a short trot. Catanzaro comes close to scoring with Vandeputte on a free kick to which Carboni responds with a nice header which Fulignati gets past. The GialloRosso goalkeeper was without a doubt the best on the pitch, demonstrating his skill particularly in the second half when, due to the Eagles’ physical decline, he produced a series of sensational saves.
The capitulation goal arrives in the 78th minute Of Stefano served on the left side of the attacking front, it launches a precise diagonal shot that lands under the top corner. At the end of the match the GialloRossi did everything they could to recover the result. They begin to play with more pace, but the attempts are late and often crash into the defensive wall put up by the home team who are always dangerous when they start on the counterattack.
With this defeat Catanzaro can say goodbye to any desire to reach fourth place. For the Eagles, reaching fifth position and competing in the preliminary round of the Playoffs with the advantage of a double result is certain. For Ternana the three points are a breath of fresh air that allow the Umbrian team to dream of salvation without going through the Playouts which today would see them pitted against Ascoli. Another verdict of the day is the mathematical relegation of Feralpi who, losing in Venice, returns to Serie C after just one year.
