The feat of 23 April 2016 will inspire Ascoli in trying to achieve another fundamental victory to save their skin. As in that season the Woodpecker will go into Ternana’s den to try to take away the entire stake. The 14 precedents in absolute balance between the two contenders speak of 5 wins each and 3 draws. A trend that could be changed in the next match scheduled at Liberati on Saturday at 2pm. Clearly, whoever will have to pull off the match of their lives will be Carrera’s team who are called upon to make up ground on the Umbrians in the standings. The red-greens, on the other hand, will have two out of three results on their side. Among the challenges of the past, however, there are similarities with the confrontation of 8 years ago when an irrepressible Daniele #Cacia dragged Ascoli towards remaining in the cadetteria. Even on that occasion the Bianconeri, in the final phase of the championship, faced Fere with the need to bring home the victory. And things went exactly like that with that 3-1 final which sent the #many Ascoli supporters present in the away section into a frenzy. The match got on track around the half hour mark when right back Pecorini following a corner took his lead with a sharp right-footed shot into the corner. In the second half the ferocious Umbrian reaction was not long in coming with Falletti’s equalizer before the fiery final in which striker #Cacia decided to shake himself up and bring the home team to their knees thanks to an incredible brace. New overtaking with the raptor’s jab a stone’s throw from the line after Altobelli’s personal initiative and Mazzoni’s rejection. With time up, with the rossoverdi all thrown forward in an attempt to recover, #Cacia himself was caught wonderfully by Carpani on the counterattack. The sumptuous lob with which he once again surpassed the opposing goalkeeper officially started the party in the stands of the Juventus people. The following year too, Liberati smiled at Picchio with the victory (0-1) thanks to the decisive goal scored by the promising Favilli, now playing for Ternana.
Another three important points for the playoff race were taken away in Sottil’s second season at the helm of Ascoli. From the match of 14 January 2022, however, that monologue imposed on the Fere remains until the final 4-2. The first half already ended with a 3-0 score: a brace from Maistro and a hat-trick from a penalty by Caligara. Upon returning from the break, the home team tried to attack Falletti, but later Baschirotto took care of the score. Going further back, the first high score in Ascoli’s Umbrian territory remains that of 15 November 1992 with the 2-0 scored by Zanoncelli and Zaini. Finally, the last match saw the victory of Ternana (0-1) with Palumbo. Tomorrow a new page.
