A very important victory for Taranto, who mathematically qualify for the playoffs. A fundamental result was achieved by the Ionian team, which has set itself a goal since the beginning of this season. Ezio Capuano, in the end, expresses great satisfaction with this result, achieved after a well-deserved success, albeit with some small moments of difficulty in the second half. In the first half of the game, the Apulians survived a dangerous attack from Potenza with Caturano, who, with a good serve from Castorani, appeared in front of Vannucchi, but his shot was neutralized by the Ionian goalkeeper. Immediately afterwards, it was Valietti who carried out the dress rehearsal for the goal, making a beautiful personal move that culminated in a curling shot that was deflected by Alastra for a corner. A few minutes pass and Taranto takes the lead and Valietti scores thanks to an assist from Orlando and surprises Alastra, who looks unsure. Taranto could double his lead under two circumstances with Fabbro and De Marchi. In the first, the former Chievo striker makes a sensational mistake in front of Alastra after deflecting off the Potenza goalkeeper from Calvano’s shot, while De Marchi blocks Alastra’s header from Mastromonaco’s cross. At the end of the first half, Saporiti equalized the score, but his shot was neutralized by Vannucci. In the second half, Potenza raises its center of gravity and twice comes close to equalizing, always with Volpe, and in both cases with two good interventions by Vannucchi. In the final, Taranto doubled the lead: Bifulco hit Alastra with a low shot from Valietti’s pass. Thus, everything ends with a victory for Taranto and the playoffs, mathematically achieved to the happiness of the Apulian public. Potenza’s defeat complicates playoff plans. Now the lows and highs of the game.
