Crotone draws 1-1 with Cerignola and goes through: on Wednesday they will face Casertana away. Strong start for the rossoblù with Sandri and Vinicius, but Iliev is decisive. Penalty for the guests in the 40th minute, then revoked after On Field Review. In the second half Musso takes the Pythagoreans forward with an assist from Zunno. Crotone came close to doubling their lead, but in the 2nd minute of injury time Groppelli scored in his own goal. Bitter draw, but qualification achieved.
