Crucial braces from Cortinovis and Vavassori in Bergamo. In Group B, Rimini secures a point in the Pesaro derby.
In the second round of Serie C, Atalanta U23 made a significant impact with a commanding 6-2 victory over Casarano, thereby bouncing back from their opening defeat in Latina. The first three points of the season for Bocchetti`s team were largely due to the exceptional performances of Dominic Vavassori, who netted a hat-trick, and Alessandro Cortinovis, who scored a brace. Meanwhile, matches were also played in the other groups.
Pro Vercelli maintained their perfect record by defeating AlbinoLeffe, with goals from Coccolo and captain Comi, who, fresh from a contract extension, scored for the second consecutive game. Similarly, Gaddini was instrumental in Cittadella`s win against Alcione. In Group B, Arezzo took the lead in the standings with a convincing 3-0 triumph over Pontedera, a club whose ownership is soon to be transferred to a Brazilian investment fund. Despite off-field organizational challenges, Rimini managed to secure a valuable point by drawing their derby against Pesaro, with coach Braglia still watching from the stands.
