It was supposed to be the game that sealed the playoffs, but instead the goalless draw (0-0) felt like a huge missed opportunity. Vado proved to be a truly modest opponent, but Torres, despite controlling the game, wasn't incisive, often looking for flashy plays rather than concrete results. It's also worth noting that visiting goalkeeper Bellocci made at least four decisive saves.
The match began with Vado aggressively and aggressively containing De Stefanis and Scotto. In the 9th minute, De Rinaldis, instead of trying to cross from the right corner of the box, fired towards the top corner: Zaccagno had a good reflex. Torres then took control and took the initiative: in the 16th minute, a powerful rebound from Di Stefano sent the ball just wide.
The Sassari team played well, perhaps even too well, in that aesthetics prevailed over nastiness. In the 32nd minute, the Ligurian goalkeeper parried Zecca's header and managed to do the same in injury time. In the middle, the Rossoblu counterattacked with Di Stefano attempting a cross in the 40th minute, but the ball went over the crossbar.
At the start of the second half, Sassari's defense was unbalanced, and Vita surged forward and scored, but the assistant referee had his flag raised for offside. In the 54th minute, Di Stefano quickly took a throw-in, and Brentan played Scotto into the box, who was free but, once inside the box, fired weakly at the keeper. In the 65th minute, Zecca's cross led to Liviero arriving on the opposite side and unleashing a powerful shot, but Bellocci excelled. In the 67th minute, Scotto was passed, shielded well, and ran into the box but was brought down. The referee pointed to the spot but, after reviewing the footage, disallowed the penalty. Torres counterattacked in the 78th minute, with Pennington making a quick run and crossing low, but the keeper got there again.
