Serie B: Pippo Inzaghi’s Palermo Extends Its Lead; Pisa and Carrarese Also Win

Palermo won the top-of-the-table clash in Mantua and extended its lead at the top of the Serie B standings after Matchday 7. The Rosanero defeated the Virgiliani 2-0 thanks to goals by Segre in the 62nd minute and Hernani in the 86th minute: they now have 19 points and hold a 5-point lead over second-place Mantua.

Pisa sits in third place after a 3-1 home victory over Cremonese: the Nerazzurri clinched the match thanks to goals by Tramoni, Moreo, and Marras; Berti’s goal, which briefly tied the game, proved futile.

Modena remains in fourth place despite a 2-1 loss on the road to Carrarese. Virtus Entella pulled off an upset in Padua: the Ligurians are now in the playoff zone. Benevento-Vicenza and Ascoli-Empoli ended in draws.
