“You again. But shouldn’t we see each other again?” So sang the great Lucio Battisti in “Ancora tu”, a song that could be the perfect soundtrack for the eighth final Italian Cup Serie C this evening, which will take place at the Menti in Vicenza Vicenza AND Rimini. In fact, this is the third time in a row that two red and white clubs have found themselves competing for passage to the next round. Two years ago, on 16 November 2022, at the Neri Stadium in Rimini, it was Lane who won passage to the quarter-finals on penalties and, above all, after 120 minutes of heartbreaking play: first a penalty from Vicenza, taken by Rolfini and saved by Galeotti in the 33rd . Rimini then misses from 11 meters in the 67th minute with Sereni. Finally, at the end of the match, Romagna’s team led back and forth thanks to Laverona and Ierardi’s almost immediate equalizer. On penalties, Tonelli and Tanasa’s mistakes proved fatal for Rimini. Last year at the Menti in Vicenza the 0-0 scoreline was as strong as the rain pouring down on the grass of the Vicenza stadium, which affected most of the match. In the penalty round, Ronaldo’s mistake from the penalty spot proved fatal for Lane. In short, stories of crossings and turns between Vicenza and Rimini, which have now become almost a traditional event in this competition. At stake tonight is a place in the quarterfinals. Vicenza, who arrives at this event with a completely different mood than last year. Aimo Diana was on the bench but was sacked five days after the Trento debacle to make way for current Vicenza coach Stefano Vecchi. Rimini comes to Menti in Vicenza with a decent resume: tenth place in the group, ups and downs overall, but notable external indicators (three wins, four draws and only one defeat).
