"We started the week feeling disappointed after the home defeat against Pianese, but little by little, we began to feel the desire for revenge, to prove we're not the same team we were last time out." This was coach Michele Pazienza's statement on the eve of their departure for Sestri Levante, where Torres will face newly promoted Bra on Sunday afternoon.

While Sassari is not laughing after two consecutive defeats, Bra is crying with just one point earned at home against Perugia: 2-2, with the visitors grabbing the equalizer thanks to a penalty awarded in the 102nd minute.

The Sassari team is without four injured players: Mastinu, Zaccagno, Stivanello, and Lattanzio, "only the latter has a muscle problem," coach Patience points out. They are joined by midfielder Brentan, suspended after his first-half red card against Pianese. "We could certainly use a little more experience and quality, but those who are playing are giving it their all."
