While waiting for the next round of the championship, between Tuesday and yesterday the team returned to the pitch Serie C, with the Round of 16 of the Italian Cupwhich gave the complete picture of the next round, that of Quarter Finals, which will be played on December 18th. Quarters, which, just like the now archived Round of 16, will be played in a single direct elimination match. And, as per the regulations, “the clubs that have scored the highest number of goals will qualify for the next round. In the event of a tie in the number of goals scored at the end of the match, two extra periods lasting 15 minutes each will be played. If the tie persists even at the end of the two extra periods, the referee will proceed to have the penalty shots taken, in the manner provided for by the “Football Regulations”.
So let’s take an account of what will be the program, with the pairings already determined:
Q1 race
Giana Erminio-Avellino
Race Q2
Milan Futuro-Caldiero Terme
Q3 race
Arezzo-Trapani
Q4 race
Team Altamura-Rimini.
However, let’s now take a step back and return to analyzing the matches of the Round of 16. Team Altamura needs penalties to beat Potenza, while Rimini decides it after extra time at Vicenza; the real feat, however, is that of Caldiero Terme, who silenced Padova and conquered the “Euganeo”, becoming the first team to do so in the current season. Avellino and Giana Erminio then smile, and Milan Futuro also wins, trying to straighten out their season with the Cup, while Trapani’s victory in the derby with Catania is clear.
