The good performance offered to "Benelli" is not enough: Olbia concedes 1-2 to Vis Pesaro in the salvation clash of the third day of return of Serie C and returns to Sardinia empty-handed. Confirming their uncomfortable position in the playouts with 18 points.

The intentions of breaking the bank in the stadium of the Marches coached by the ex Oscar Brevi remain on paper: despite the best start, time 26', Roberto Occhiuzzi's team finds itself below, pierced by Di Paola. In the second half the whites dominated, but after having remained in ten for the expulsion of Biancu (double yellow) in the 36' they suffer the 0-2 signed by Ngom.

In the 39th minute Ragatzu – who also hit the crossbar in the closing credits – shortened the distance, but the efforts to snatch at least one point from Vis Pesaro, who hadn't won at home since 9 October, did not have the desired effect. The defeat of "Benelli", tenth in the championship, costs the slip from fourth from last to third from last place in group B, and even the safety zone moves away, now 4 lengths away.

There will be plenty of arguments to prepare for next Sunday's internal match against Rimini. Starting from the chronic handicapped start that has been afflicting Ragatzu and his companions for too long, forced even in Pesaro to have to recover the initial disadvantage.
