The San Filippo match between Messina and Vibonese ends without winners. Back and forth in the second half between the two teams that came from defeats in the previous round (the Peloritani in Caltanissetta, the Calabrians at home against Ragusa). Acr takes the lead in the 20th minute with Maisano finding the right ball for the substitute Saverino, who has the field in front and finds the right diagonal to beat Marano. Vibonese, who had built some more action in the first half with Balla inspired and Bucalo dictating the tempo, reacted and pushed to get to the equalizer, which came a minute into the ninetieth minute with Lagzir who scored with his left foot following an assist from Musy.
A draw in the end was fair based on what was seen on the pitch, even if there was regret among the hosts for not having been able to defend the advantage they had obtained, which would have reduced the gap from those above, given the positive results coming from the other fields.
