The Catanzaro is the first semifinalist to the Serie B play offs after passing the practice Cesena with minimal effort, 1-0. At Ceravolo, in front of over 10 thousand spectators, the match begins at slow pace and with a lot of dribble, the first opportunity comes a little by chance for Cesena with Adam who, thanks to a rebound, enters the area and starts an outdoor shot that breaks on the pole. It is precisely the guests who give the feeling of having an extra gear, especially on the right attack side, also because the Calabrians often make mistakes and disengagement by giving Saric and Shpen the opportunity to make themselves dangerous. At minute 36 there is also an opportunity for Catanzaro with the goal canceled in Iemmello for offside on assists by Petriccione punishment. The Giallorossi trusted and shortly afterwards Scognamillo also tries with a shot finished out. It starts again in the second half, and in the fifth minute the Cesena finds a penalty kick, assigned after control at the VAR, for a broken entrance to pumps on sticks: Shpendi is presented on the spot that is hypnotized by Pigliacelli. Once the danger was escaped, he climbs to the Iemmello chair: splendid opening from the middle of the field for quail, the ball then ends up in Pontisso who crosses and finds the same Giallorossi number 9 to close the head action for the advantage, to the ninth minute, of the Catanzaro. The inertia of the game is reversed in favor of the hosts, while Cesena cannot move after having changed the whole offensive front with the entrances of La Gumina, Russo and Tavsan. Just the latter stands out for a couple of conclusions from outside the area without outcome, as well as a corner beaten by Calò directly on goal and dwelling by Pigliacelli. Catanzaro wins 1-0 and gives the passage of the round: next Wednesday the next opponent will be, in the first leg, always at Ceravolo.
