In Solofra, within the friendly walls, Vis Mediterranea, the leader of group C in the Serie C championship, could have celebrated the mathematical promotion today with two rounds in advance by bending Catania Women, but a performance at the same level as the top teams allowed the red and blue team coached by Peppe Scuto to end with a 0-0 draw. A balanced match for a long time, with the Irpinian team pushing forward and the Etna team resisting in the final moments. For Pietrini and her teammates, who are fifth in the standings and with one of the lowest average ages in the league, this is yet another sign of significant growth. Next Sunday, second to last round of the tournament and final seasonal challenge in Nesima, against Frosinone.
