It was a Saturday with the spotlight on the return matches of the 2nd national round of the Serie C Now 2023-2024 playoffs. Starting from Partenio-Lombardi where Avellino overturned Catania and reached the semi-final. The ball was opened by Cianci (10′ pt), who had decided the first leg match at the Massimino. But in the second half first Liotti (7′) and in the end D’Ausilio (38′) made the party explode for Lui from Irpinia.
The other long-awaited quarter between Carrarese and Juventus Next Gen was full of goals following the 1-1 draw in the first leg. The Tuscans immediately took the lead with Palmieroi (2′) and immediately recovered from Sekulov (20′). In the second half another back and forth with Giannetti (12′) and Cerri (21′): the 2-2 rewarded the Calabro team.
The Venetian derby saw Vicenza as the absolute protagonist, who also won in Padua thanks to the goal scored by Della Morte at the end of the first half (40′). Finally, the last quarter-final ended without a goal with Torres failing to break through Benevento’s wall, so Auteri took the semi-final.
