The game ends on Leo’s relaunch. Perugia conquers Del Duca thanks to Montevago‘s goal in the first half, an advantage then well managed in the second half. Overall a deserved victory for the red and whites, who phrased better and constructed the best opportunities, the result of the best proactiveness shown for the vast majority of the match. Therefore a breath of fresh air for the boys of Formisano, who look to the future with greater optimism. Thank you all for following our live broadcast and see you next time.

The first half ends. Perugia goes to rest with the precious advantage gained by Montevago, capable of realizing a masterful counterattack. Not an exciting match up to this point, conditioned by the heavy pitch and in which the home team also had the opportunity to pass, but Gemello did well to oppose Adjapong’s close range blow. The Ascoli public boos loudly, it is a factor on which to play one’s cards to bring home a victory that would be of vital importance. See you later for the report on the second 45′.

Biancorossi between confirmations and surprises. Formisano draws a 4-3-3 with Giunti as right back. Squarzoni is deployed in the midfield three as is Di Maggio, while Seghetti, Montevago and Lisi form the offensive trident. In the Marche region, lined up with the 4-2-3-1, Campagna, Tremolada (preferred to D’Uffizi) and Tirelli play behind Corazza as the lone striker.
Anyone who stops (again) risks big
Ascoli – Perugia, or tension at maximum levels. It couldn’t be otherwise given the rankings of both: those who are worse off are the hosts, who have not managed to make a breakthrough despite the change of coach and are right in the playout zone with eight points under their belt. Not even the Griffins can smile, being able to boast only two more points. Therefore, it is forbidden for both to lose, even if even a draw would be of little use.
There is a run-off between the black and white ranks, that is, on the three-quarters between Luca Tremolada e Simone D’Uffiziwith the first favorite. For the rest, Di Carlo, who as is known will have to give up five players, should deploy the 4-3-1-2 with Marsura and Corazza as a tandem up front.
However, a nasty last minute surprise occurred in the red and white home. Francesco Mezzoni he is bruised (it is not clear what the problem is) and is not one of the players who will take part in the match. In its place probably Giovanni Giunti. For the rest, Di Maggio could be part of the midfield three, while Lisi could play in the front three with Montevago and Seghetti.
Perugia Today will provide live coverage of the match in real time starting from 3pm. Post-match comments and interviews with the protagonists will follow.
