The Nerazzurri’s second team lost 3-2 to Virtus Verona. Romagnoli beaten in Olbia, the Campania stopped by Turris. Taranto flies and wins 2-0 against Foggia
Nine matches on the first Sunday of Serie C, the third act of a round spread until tomorrow when 7 matches of group A will be played (the Alessandria-Novara derby stands out). Here is everything that happened, starting with the historic debut of Atalanta U23.

And it was a false start, that of the Bergamo players, defeated 3-2 in Gorgonzola (temporary home field) by the Virtus Verona of the president-coach Gigi Fresco: Atalanta ahead with Moustapha Cissè – with this goal, he scored at 19 in all categories from A to C -, Casarotto’s brace came to the fore (first goal from a free-kick), Virtus’ trio still from dead ball with Manfrin half an hour into the second half. It seems over, but Modesto’s team – ten for the expulsion of Palestra – clings to their last energies and shortens with Italeng’s penalty, which is then canceled the goal of the possible equal for a contested offside. Zero points – also considering the Juventus knockout in Pescara – for the two B teams.
the others in group A

The newly promoted fly. Sumptuous performance from Legnago by Massimo Donati, who overwhelms Arzignano (4-0): Svidercoschi unlocks it, then Martic (free-kick at the near post) and Rocco round up the score, in the final Jerry Mbakogu also scores his first goal with new shirt. It’s a return to C with a smile also for Giana, who passes to Busto Arsizio on the Pro Patria field (2-1): host advantage in the first half with Fumagalli’s free-kick deflected by the barrier, in the second half the equalizer by Stanzani but then it was the Senegalese striker Fall – who had just come off the bench – who signed the outside strike.
round b
—
The ambitious Cesena got off to a bad start, losing on its debut like in last season. This time the bianconeri fell in Olbia, 2-1: the ex Nanni and the eternal Daniele Ragatzu scored for the Sardinians (from a penalty), in the second half the reaction was limited to the header from the corner by the substitute Ogunseye which halved the downside. Thanks to the postponement of the match against Spal in the next round to 27 September, Cesena will return to the field on 15 September in Pontedera.
group c
—
After Catania and Avellino, another big player slips by. It is Andreoletti’s Benevento, overturned on the Turris field (3-1) despite Pastina’s initial advantage: however, the match changes already in the half hour with Maniero’s equal, from there the hosts gain confidence and overtake with Cum, before extending in the final with D’Auria. In front of the almost 10 thousand spectators of Iacovone, Ezio Capuano’s Taranto beat Foggia (2-0) capitalizing on the episodes after an hour of balance: Antonini scored on a corner development and the new signing Kanoute on the counterattack in the 85th minute. At the end of the game, a fire – which seems to have been generated by smoke bombs – in the away sector area should be reported, currently without consequences for those present. Potenza smiles in full recovery, who beat Brindisi: to sign the 2-1 is Gagliano, who came on from the bench, with a nice turn in the area after Bizzotto had equalized Volpe’s first advantage (retaliated after a missed penalty from Caturano, who had already failed 3 last season). The other Lucanian, Picerno, also smiles, returning with 3 points from Francavilla thanks to the paw of substitute Abou Diop in the middle of the second half (returned on goal on the post hit by Esposito). Juve Stabia (3-1) hit in Teramo, Monterosi field: Candellone opens from the penalty spot, equal to the ex Stabiese Silipo but then Guido Pagliuca’s team takes off again in the second half with Leone and Baldi, good at slipping Mastrantonio (goalkeeper European champion with Italy U19).
