Pompeii conquers Serie D by beating Modica 4-0 in the second leg final of the National Playoffs! Inside the splendid setting of the “Bellucci” the hosts start with the underdogs given the 1-2 victory in the first leg and the numerous absences among the Sicilian ranks, but in the first half the match is very balanced and fought . A stroke of genius is needed to unlock the match, and this arrives in injury time: Ciro Simonetti takes it upon himself to take a free kick on the edge of the area and puts it into the top corner (photo) causing the home stadium to explode. In the second half the situation eased for Pompeii when Palermo, already booked, left Modica with 10 men and opened the way for the rossoblù to score: in the 60th minute Matute broke away from Caso Naturale’s free kick, 5 minutes later Guarracino was the man from the first leg to seal the 3-0 and then – once again with a header – Di Paola closes the final speech in the 67th minute. For the first time in its history Pompeii wins promotion to Serie D, a hard-earned and deserved promotion.
Congratulations to president Mango and above all to coach Gennaro Scarlato, former SSC Napoli captain and commentator for CalcioNapoli24.it in the ‘4 captains’ format
