On a Sunday when some of their direct rivals scored significant victories, Olbia had to settle for a draw. But the 1-1 draw against Valmontone, currently third in the standings, could be a glimpse of the Whites' revival.
Coming off three defeats, Olbia ended their drought in their away match on the second day of the second half of the Serie D championship and climbed to 20 points in Group G.
Their position (fourth-last) remains unchanged, and they're now five points away from direct safety. However, their performance at the "Dei Gelsi" municipal stadium offers hope, and the direct clash with Palmese could be a decisive step up the standings in the next round.
Saggia, who picked up his fifth yellow card yesterday, will be suspended at Nespoli on Sunday, but if a turning point is imminent for Olbia at the club's top levels, another season could begin soon.
