Defeated away by Spal 2-0 and overtaken in the standings by the biancazzurri: the survival clash of the 19th and final first leg of the Serie C championship, the last match of the year before the winter break, reserves the worst result for Olbia.

The third consecutive failure that costs Leandro Greco's team the slip to the penultimate place in Group B, and the certification of a crisis that seems to have no end. With a goal in each half – from Bassoli in the 40th minute of the first and from Valentini in the 41st minute of the second – the Gallura team succumbed to their renowned opponent, fresh from four draws in a row and evidently in better shape, especially on a mental level, than Ragatzu and his teammates , unable to sting even at the "Paolo Mazza" stadium in Ferrara, where, on the other hand, goalkeeper Rinaldi stands out among the whites, capable of limiting the deficit in the second half thanks to some prodigious interventions.

For Olbia, the championship will resume on January 7th at the home of league leaders Cesena, who were defeated in the first leg at “Nespoli” 2-1. Which seems like a century ago. For sure, it was another Olbia. While the current one has no choice but to try everything, even through the transfer market, which will reopen on January 2nd, to get back on the road to direct salvation which risks becoming damn complicated.
