First Category, goal close. Gallo mortgages promotion. Beats Persiceto and returns to +10

Gallo sings twice in front of their fans and puts a serious mortgage on promotion. Yesterday's three points on direct rival Persiceto consolidate the lead of the Granata at the top of the table, back to 10 points. The points on Persiceto in second place are a considerable margin, so much so that if Sergio Zambrini's boys were to win on Sunday and Bologna were to lose, they could uncork the champagne with three days to spare. And to think that the game had gone on the wrong track. In the 26th minute, on a corner kick taken by Hinek in the center of the area, Serra forces Barbieri to work, who saves but doesn't hold on, and on the rebound, Luppi is quickest to score. The stadium freezes. In the 33rd minute, Gallo could have equalized with Bianchi, who steps up in front of Tonioli, but shoots weakly. In the 42nd minute, the equalizer arrives. A long pass to Manservisi, who hooks in the area and is knocked down at the moment of the shot: penalty. Bianchi steps up to the spot and converts. In the second half, Gallo overturns the result at 15': corner kick taken by Manservisi, Skabar heads it, finds the right corridor and heads it in a winning way. The stands explode, already anticipating the historic promotion. Before the end there is another opportunity for the granata: Berto-Manservisi triangle, his shot is blocked by the post with the goalkeeper beaten. The victory of Gallo pushes Persiceto back to -10, nullifying the comeback of the previous round, after the granata's defeat in Anzola and the success of their rivals in the Bologna derby with Sala Bolognese. As for the other Ferrara teams, the Ferrara derby in Copparo was a pyrotechnic swing of goals, concluded 5-4 by the rossoblù. The "cousins" of Amici di Stefano instead surrendered at home with Ravarino, defeated by the smallest margin. The other Ferrara derby between Codigorese and Codifiume ended without winners or losers, a 1-1 that allows the standings to move, which are not yet calm, especially for the Argentine team.
