A less brilliant Atalanta Under 23, but also a decidedly different Torres, proud and more muscular in the middle of the field. It ends 2-1 for the rossoblù thanks to a brace from Varela at the end of a match marked by protests against the club, players and coach Greco in ascending order of intensity.

The Sassari team – after the 7-1 Shubito in the first leg – says goodbye to the playoffs with the first victory in its third experience with the play-offs for promotion to Serie B

Chronicle - Torres strikes in the 6th minute with Masala defending a ball and putting it in the middle for Liviero who shoots immediately: very high. In the 19th minute on a corner Antonelli heads it but it is weak. In the 22nd minute Mastinu from the left in the middle, heads it to Masala and the ball goes close to the crossbar. Masala again on a curling free kick in the 27th minute: a meter out. Atalanta U23 are very dangerous in the 28th minute on a pass to Vlahovic with Antonelli overtaken, but the centre forward widens the diagonal as soon as he enters the area. Nice action by Torres in the 31st minute: Zamparo serves Varela who makes a half-turn that grazes the crossbar.

The rossoblù take the lead in the 37th minute: Varela insists in the area and shoots a low ball that ricochets off a defender and is then touched by Zamparo and ends up at a very angle to the right. However, the referee disallows Varela for offside after consulting the VAR. Varela takes revenge in the 42nd minute when he converges from the left and scores with a curling torpedo.

The second half opens with an invitation from Mastinu to Varela who, having entered the area on the left, concludes strongly but slightly high. Second goal disallowed for Torres in the 60th minute (again Varela) for a very dubious foul on the goalkeeper. Great action by Torres in the 64th minute with Brentan who serves Zecca on the right, but the cross does not find any teammates. Torres doubles in the 66th minute with a great assist from Mastinu for Varela who resists the defender and doubles. The exit of Mastinu (muscle problem) and Varela takes away verve from the Sassari attack.
