Second defeat of the season for the under-19 rossazzurro: in Nesima, Gubbio wins 2-1 at the end of a very balanced match, without any thrills in the first half but full of emotions in the second half. Umbrians take the lead with a successful shot from outside the area by Cuccarini, then the expulsion of Ippolito followed by a great reaction from the boys coached by Marco Biagianti, crowned by the goal of Federico D’Emilio, his eleventh of the season. In full recovery, Catania almost scores the decisive goal but concedes a goal by Mancini from a corner. Saturday, February 8, the second consecutive home game is scheduled, against Potenza.
