Pistoia, 27 April 2025 – Five great oranges in the penultimate day of group D of the Serie D championship. At the Marcello Melani stadium, in fact, the Pistoiese overwhelmed the unfortunate Corticella with a score of 5-0, which is fighting to save itself: it is now fourth in the standings with 61 points, behind the newly promoted to Serie C Forlì 84, of Ravenna 74 and Lentigione 64: will play, as he has known for a long time, the playoffs. Five different scorers signed the success: Kharmoud, Pinzauti, Polvani, Sparacello and Simeri.
Next Sunday, May 4th, the team coached by alberto villa will be on stage, starting at 15 pm, in Altopascio against Tau, fifth in the standings at 60 points. An authoritative performance by the Pistoia team, who were coming off three bad defeats in a row. Three important absences among the home team: the disqualified Basanisi and Grilli and the injured Cuomo. But despite this, Pistoiese immediately put the result in the bag, giving the feeling of considerable superiority.
After less than two minutes of play, in fact, Greselin serves in depth Kharmoud: excellent control and right-footed shot on the latter's second post. In the 5th minute, the orange team doubled their lead: Boccia passed the ball to Stapled, who from 20 meters unleashes a precise and powerful conclusion with the ball ending up just inside the post. The third goal comes in the 13th minute: a free kick from the right by Maldonado, Polvani he heads the ball past the goalkeeper.
The poker fell on the green rectangle in the 39th minute and bears the signature of bomber Sparacello: from a corner, Maldonado's chocolate for the attacker, who beats Malagoli for the fourth time with a header. Same script in the second half (Pistoiese dominant), in which at 43' a Snames not in the best condition he scores a wonder goal (winning free kick from thirty meters). Worth mentioning is the debut of the 2006 class goalkeeper Mosti.
