Messina ends with a defeat. A narrow defeat, achieved at the beginning of the two halves, on the field of a Monopoly which, unlike Modica's men, they badly needed points to try to avoid the play outs. The Taurino team did everything they could to get the three points but they will still have one end of the championship: the play out against Francavilla and the return match at home.
