Torres is also there to fight for the top spot. They proved it with the coup in Campobasso: 1-0 with a penalty by Scotto. A victory that may not be aesthetically pleasing but where the Sassari team made their experience count. Coach Alfonso Greco commented: "We were good at managing a physical match without falling into the trap of nervousness".

The Sassari team had to revolutionize the defense due to the absences of Dametto and Antonelli, but the new purchases Coccolo and Mercadante responded very well. At the end of the first half, Baldassin was sent off, very right - whatever the home coach Braglia says - because the intervention on Zecca was already worthy of a red card and the protests after the warning were unjustified.

Coach Greco was only able to insert Giorico and Mastinu into midfield in the second half because both were not in top condition, but the move still gave personality to Torres who, after having unlocked the game with a penalty from captain Scotto (great Varela to get it), managed the game quite well except for the last quarter of an hour, where they were too much pressured.

The success remains and now in Wednesday's recovery match with Milan Futuro, the rossoblù can catch up with Virtus Entella at the top, who could also be reached by Pescara if they win the postponed match on Monday.
