They start in the most complicated way possible. Playoffs for promotion to Serie B of the Penta Modena, that after eighteen useful results out of eighteen games played, he lost for the first time this season against a Certaldo which confirms itself as a tough opponent, even if ultimately approachable. Penta pays the psychological pressure for the importance of the match, and after a balanced first half, suffers from too much haste in the final phase, which opens wide gaps in a defense unusually less attentive than usual, often forced to compete when outnumbered.

Luckily, however, the Modena team regained their composure in the fourth quarter, which opened at 6-11, managing to recover the game to a 9-11 score that could easily be remedied in the return match scheduled for next Saturday at the Dogali in Modena.
