Ospitaletto holds Vicenza in Group A, with Pro Vercelli and Arzignano leading. Arezzo dominates Group B, while Crotone scores four goals against Altamura in Group C.
In Group A, newly-promoted Brescia secured their first victory of the season, overcoming Trento 2-0 with goals from Maistrello and Cisco, bouncing back from a disappointing debut. Inter U23 played to a 2-2 draw against Pro Patria at their home ground in Monza, despite a brace from youngster Nino La Gumina. Vicenza was held to a goalless draw by newly promoted Ospitaletto, leaving Pro Vercelli and Arzignano tied at the top. Arzignano notably defeated Virtus Verona 3-2, with Minesso scoring for the second consecutive game.
In Group B, Arezzo remains the sole leader with a perfect record. A significant away win for Ascoli saw them defeat Ternana 2-0, as D’Uffizi and Del Sole capitalized on defensive errors. Meanwhile, Ascoli strengthened their squad with the addition of striker Gori from Avellino.
Group C featured an exciting night for the top teams. Salernitana managed to overturn Cosenza in a 2-1 victory, sealed by Inglese’s header in a sparsely attended San Vito-Marulla stadium. Benevento also secured a comeback win against Casertana, with Pierozzi scoring the decisive goal after Salvemini’s equalizer.
Salernitana, Benevento, and Catania are currently leading Group C, each accumulating six points from two matches. Crotone delivered a dominant 4-0 performance against Altamura, with Matteo Maggio being a standout player, contributing two goals and an assist. Two Group B postponed matches are scheduled for Monday: Forlì-Ravenna and Guidonia-Pineto.
