There are four left, only one will go to B. The semi-finals will pit Avellino-Vicenza and Carrarese-Benevento on Tuesday 29th May, with the return match on reversed pitches on 2nd June. From this moment on, the ranking will no longer count and there will be extra time and penalties in the event of an overall draw after 180′ (same goes for the final on 5 and 9 June). Here’s everything that happened on the evening of the quarter-finals, with the elimination of two seeded teams.
the Avellino overturns, or else it collapses

Avellino took the cover, who – narrowly defeated in the first leg – seemed to be sinking when Catania immediately took the lead, thanks to the usual Cianci (seven goals in the last 10 games). However, the turnaround took place in the second half: first Liotti’s equaliser, then D’Ausilio’s strike which made the 10,000 of Partenio-Lombardi and Michele Pazienza explode with joy, who in January strongly wanted the offensive joker already trained in Cerignola . Thus the run of the winners of the Italian Serie C Cup comes to an end, while Avellino returns to play a semi-final that has been missing since 2021. On that occasion the green and whites lost to Padova, a match that however cannot be replicated. Oddo’s team – who took over from Torrente precisely to try to win the playoffs – in fact also lost the second leg of the derby against Vicenza: Menti’s 1-0 was scored by Della Morte in the 39th minute of the first half, after the The home team had hit the post with Bortolussi and missed a significant opportunity with Zamparo. The forcing of the second half was not enough for Padova (guest goalkeeper Confente did well), while Vicenza reached the semi-final without having conceded a single goal in four post-season games.

The race of another second in the standings also stops: Torres, after the narrow defeat in the first leg, beats Benevento in front of six thousand Vanni Sanna and thanks to the great saves of Paleari who seals the 0-0. The ending is nervous, with an expulsion on each side (Zecca and Bolsius) and great protests from the Sassari residents for some decisions by the referee Galipò. Benevento will find another third on its way, Carrarese, who managed to defuse the combination of enthusiasm and quality of Juventus Next Gen: in the 2-2 draw at the Stadio dei Marmi the Bianconeri recover twice, with Sekulov replying to Palmieri and then with Cerri after Giannetti’s new lead. But it’s not enough.
