There Carrarese wins the Tuscan Derby played this evening at Dei Marmi, beating Pontedera won their eighth win in a row with a score of 2–1. The Marbles therefore made up the best third of the three groups, finishing with 73 points, but they had to work hard tonight to get the better of a team as strong as Granat’s. The yellow-blues were able to demonstrate aggression and intensity combined with maturity and cynicism, and also demonstrated that they know how to suffer in moments of greatest difficulty. All prerogatives that give Carrarese fans hope in view of the upcoming playoffs. On the other hand, Pontedera faced the difficult task of finishing in seventh place, which they compromised on Sunday with a surprise draw against Olbia. The team responded by playing evenly for most of the match and came out of the game with their heads held high. In the first round of the playoffs on Saturday, May 4? They will face Pescara away with only one result at their disposal, but all the pressure will be on their opponents. In news, Calabro brings back Bleve and Coppolaro, the first between the posts and the second right player in the 3-5-2 formation along with Di Gennaro and Imperiale. Zanon and Cicconi are outside, Della Latta is next to Schiavi and Zuelli. In the attack, Panico is next to Finotto. On the other hand, Canzi mixes the cards in the usual 3-4-2-1 formation, with Gagliardi initially favoring Martinelli along with Espeche and Calvani. Cerretti and Perretta are outside, Guidi along with Ignacchiti, Benedetti and Janesi support Selleri. The home side’s very determined approach immediately turned dangerous in the 5th minute, with Panico’s sumptuous backheel finding Cicconi’s cross, but his left-footed shot was saved by Vivoli. Pontedera struggled to get out for the first ten minutes but then managed to poke his nose more consistently into the opposition half, forcing the home side to duck.

At the end of the first half, the home team’s score was heard: in the 44th minute, Cicconi converted straight from the corner, surprising the uncertain Vivoli. Zuelli then invents Sunday’s goal from 25 meters to give Carrarese a 2-0 lead. It’s a tough slog for the visitors, but Kanzi’s side have the advantage of remaining committed to the match even if the home team feels like they can control the match. Substitutions follow one after another, Pontedera Peli’s match lasts only seven minutes due to an injury that will have to be assessed. The visitors’ pressure was rewarded with Ignacchiti’s winning strike from the touchline, which surprised Bleve. In the final there was also a place for Giannetti for Carrarese, Ambrosini and Gantz for the guests. Espeche risks an own goal to beat Carrarese’s number 99 while Gantz is unable to turn his right foot.
