SAN CATALDO – An excellent Nuova Igea Virtus passes in a clear and deserved manner on the Sancataldese pitch, beaten with a resounding and never in question 3-0, confirming first place in the standings. Improta’s team, who led the Messina group in place of the suspended Marra, was literally perfect, scoring three goals and also hitting two posts, suffering little or nothing behind. A heavy victory, one that can make the difference in this championship to send a clear, eloquent message to the contenders for direct promotion (Savoia and Reggina won their respective matches).
