Torres doesn't know how to win, worse, they're losing their fourth game in seven rounds and are deep in the play-off zone. At the "Vanni Sanna" stadium, Ascoli advances with minimal effort: a shot, a goal.

Torres was without goalkeepers Zaccagno (injured) and Petriccione (suspended), and was also without defender Stivanello and winger Lattanzio. And once the lineups were finalized, a substitution was announced: Nunziatini replaced Mercadante, who was complaining of some physical issues.

Nothing happens until the 12th minute: he blocks an opponent and runs off alone, only to be brought down by Nunziatini. The referee shows the red card because he's the last man. Coach Pazienza calls for VAR, but the decision is upheld: Torres is down to ten men.

The Rossoblu didn't give up, and in the 27th minute, Di Stefano played the ball behind to Musso, who fired a powerful shot, but the goalkeeper was well-positioned and blocked it. Torres began a counterattack in the 33rd minute with Sala, a pass to Di Stefano, and the goalkeeper came out of the box, touching the Rossoblu player but making no contact. The situation was evened out in the 38th minute when Ndoj slapped Giorico on a ball in midfield. He received a second card and was sent off. Sassari mounted a fine counterattack in the 42nd minute, with Zecca on the right passing Musso in the box. With his back to the goal, he passed behind Di Stefano, but a defender got there first.

The decisive episode - The second half opens with Ascoli's goal: the ball goes to Chakir who enters the area on the right, Fabriani is too soft and the attacker turns inside and shoots at a very angle: left post and goal.

Torres attempted a counterattack with Zecca, launched by Musso, but his shot almost went wide. Carboni came on late and delivered a fine pass to Diakite in the 86th minute, but the Ascoli defense struggled to save.
