The under 19 team of Potenza secures qualification for the second round of the playoff phase of the Primavera championship group, winning in Nesima by four goals to two. Catania, surprised at the start by Ponziglione's goal, fights but concedes a second goal at the end of the first half, scored by Petti from a penalty. At the start of the second half, the Lucanians scored twice with Gorga and Ragone, then the red-blue goals were scored by Carmelo Forti and Francesco Manganaro. The boys led by Marco Biagianti finally collect numerous opportunities to close the gap, even hitting a crossbar, but the score does not change.
