The fifteenth day of C Series NOW occupied the Italians’ weekend, providing goals and entertainment during the international break.

Twenty-seven matches played and broadcast on Sky and NOW, with four Live Goals, in which sixty networks scored, with an average of almost two and a half goals per game and with over forty% of goals signed by players born after 2000 .

In group A there is a coming and going of twists and turns between Caldiero Terme and Lumezzane at Gavagnin-Nocini: goal of the guest’s lead in the opening with Monachello, but the hosts first equalize thanks to the left-footed player Marras born in 2004 and then take the lead advantage with Filiciotto on a penalty. At the end, however, Piga scored the final two-two (2002). There was also room for youngsters in Feralpisalò’s 2-0 home win over Triestina: the signatures of Cavuoti and Pietrelli, both born in 2003.

Ternana and Virtus Entella close the gap on Group B leaders Pescara, fresh from a scoreless defeat in Arezzo, winning against Lucchese and Torres respectively. At Liberati it ends five-nil, worth mentioning are Cicerelli’s brace and Corradini’s 2002 goal; at Vanni Sanna, however, it was one-nil for the Ligurians. Rimini and SPAL won three-nil away from home at the expense of Sestri Levante and Legnago Salus: the Romagna took the lead thanks to the goal – directly from a corner – by Falbo (2004) and doubled their lead already in the first half with Piccoli (2001) , Paris closes it in the second half; Mignanelli was the protagonist in the Estensi, scoring a brace, and the first professional goal on his debut for the 2007 born Oumar Conte.

Finally, the positive trend of Potenza and Crotone continues in group C. The Lucanians obtained their ninth consecutive useful result thanks to a two-to-one win on the Giugliano pitch (a brace and eighth goal of the season for Caturano), while with the four-nil victory over Latina the Calabrians went seven games without defeat. Two very young players scored in the Pythagoreans: Oviszach, born in 2001, and Jonathan Silva, born in 2004. Three points also for Catania after Massimino’s two to one against Trapani, Inglese scoring and Castellini scoring in 2003. Draw, however, in the two high-altitude matches Benevento-Avellino (2-2) and Monopoli-Cerignola (1-1).
