A coup that was in some ways unexpected given the many absences and a very difficult first half. But vice-leader Torres is lethal in the second half with the Mastinu-Scotto pairing and scores the 2-1 which is worth the trio of victories.
In the first half, after Scotto's header in the 13th minute which forced Vivoli to dive to deflect the ball, it was almost a monologue from Pontedera who built at least four chances. In the 21st minute Ianesi runs away to the left but is unable to concentrate and makes an unsuccessful cross, while immediately afterwards Ianesi shoots but slightly wide. The best shot is in the 33rd minute when Ianesi goes in and shoots, but Zaccagno closes with his body. In the 37th minute, a diagonal shot wide by former Cagliari player Del Pupo.
In the second half Torres is a killer. In the 51st minute Mastinu calibrated the assist from the right for Scotto who headed home from the left in the small area for the lead. In the 53rd minute Pontedera came close to equalizing with Ianesi's shot hitting the crossbar. Coach Giorico redesigns the midfield: inside Liviero who goes to the left, Masala in the center and Zambataro on the right. Zambataro himself converted Scotto's cross on the fly in the small area in the 62nd minute. Two-nil and the feat concluded, even if Provenzano's goal in the 89th minute caused a few minutes of anxiety.
