Monza stopped in Bolzano, Frosinone second again

After two games without a win, the second of which against first-place Venezia, Frosinone is back to savor the taste of success in the Serie B championship and, taking advantage of Monza’s 0-0 draw in Bolzano against Südtirol, is back in the direct promotion zone, in second place. The ciociari’s success comes in Avellino, with the score 3-1: Kvernadze at 16′, Calò at 26′ and Cichella at 61′ sign the giallazzurre goals, useless the Irpino goal by Enrici at 77′, which does not avoid the second knockout in a row for the green-and-whites.

The team’s first goal was against the Italian team, which was the second in a row.

Just against Avellino, Monza had won in the previous round, but the Brianzoli did not go beyond a 0-0 draw at Druso: not enough ball possession close to 60 percent to score, the draw is worth the fifth useful result in a row but also the overtaking by Frosinone, which brings the biancorossi back to the zone that, at the end of the regular season, is worth direct access to the playoff semifinals. For Südtirol, the draw is also a negative result: eighth place is now seven points away.

In the playoff zone, Juve Stabia’s success then stands out in the home of an Empoli still far from its best days: it is not enough, for the Tuscans, to take the lead at the 11’11’ with Lovato, because the Vespas reacted in the resumption and found first the equalizer with Leone at 57′ and then the goal-victory by Carissoni at 64′. Juve Stabia thus hooks Catanzaro in fifth place with 38 points, while Empoli remains at 28, in 12th position, and must start looking over their shoulders: the playout zone is just 4 lengths away.

Closing the report of the evening that closes the 24th round of the cadet championship is the 0-0 draw between Bari and Spezia at the San Nicola. One point each for two teams that are starting to look fearfully at the’last part of the season: in fact, the Galletti remain second-last with 21 points, the Bianconeri have 22 and are only one position higher.

These are the standings of the cadet league.
