Sant'Agostino catches up with it at the last gasp. At the 'Renato Caselli' a 'hot' challenge between two teams fighting for direct salvation. Everything is decided in the second half, after a goalless first half, mister Biagi's eleven goes down by two goals and then reacts by finding the equalizer in the last minute of play. The match report.

After an initial phase of studying the home team, the hosts try to increase possession, but Massa Lombarda finds some potentially dangerous offensive actions, even without worrying Costantino's goal. Sant'Agostino relies on the play of its forwards, with Cazzadore tied by the away defense and Vanzini trying but not scoring. The half-time break ends with the score tied. In the second half, the match resumes with the Romagna team taking the lead after less than a minute. Central offensive action in the 46th minute, the ball reaches Zannoni, whose shot beats Costantino. The inertia of the match changes, with the home team trying to react to the disadvantage, through possession and a few balls for the forwards, but without scoring. The guests take advantage with a few counterattacks. In one of these, the Romagna team doubles their lead. In the 53rd minute, Fabbretti is able to create the opportunity and beat Costantino for the second time after a few minutes. The hosts, hit by the double disadvantage, try to reorganize to try to take it back. Cremaschi shortens it for the lizards in the 59th minute, who finds the winning conclusion. At this point Sant'Agostino believes and increases the offensive pressure. The equalizer comes in the 90th minute thanks to a left-footed shot by Roda, who beats Lusa. The final whistle arrives. Sant'Agostino thus moves up the standings and reaches 39 points and remains in the upper part of the play out zone, now direct salvation is two points away.
