SUDTIROL-BENEVENTO 1-1
Benevento gets caught in the final and there is no opportunity to go back to the playoff area. After an opportunity on each side (Zaro and Simy), the Samnites break the deadlock (39 ‘) with Pastina who is ready at the far post on a free kick from Ciano’s trocar. Paleari in the second half saves the result twice on a Nicolussi free-kick and a close header by Zaro but nothing can at 84 ‘when the same Zaro takes revenge by deflecting a cross from Casiraghi into the net. The two teams are not satisfied and in the end they almost win: Sudtirol with Pompetti, Campania with substitutes Farias and La Gumina.

COMO-PERUGIA 1-0
Como conquers its first victory in the league, abandoning the last position, where instead Baldini’s Perugia ends up. Not a nice game, few opportunities, especially from the guests who only in the final go really close to the equalizer. The Como finds the goal after half an hour, thanks to a beautiful choral action aimed by Arrigoni, who from outside raises a ball put in the middle by Blanco. Como could double immediately after with two plays by Vignali in the space of 3 ‘: first it forces Gori to a great save and then touches the crossbar. Perugia tries to react but Vigorito remains practically inactive throughout the match. More on the last quarter of an hour. Cerri sends out an excellent ball put in the middle by Vignali, Cutrone scores but offside. On the other hand, the last one to surrender is Di Carmine who at 94 ′ almost equalizes with a header that caresses the crossbar.
