Terzo.
Cinque punti di vantaggio sul sesto posto.
Nine points clear of Sunday’s opponents Avellino. The march towards the play-off continues thanks to another high scoring encounter, this time in beating Benevento 3-0.
The scoreline flatters il Leoni. As you can see from the highlights, Benevento had more than enough opportunities to score, even had a goal disallowed. How times have changed – at the start of the season it was PRO that could not score when dominating, now they are picking teams off on the counter, or building sufficient pressure before capitalising on the errors of others.
The game on Sunday, if it goes ahead – even Italy is besieged by snow clouds – will be PROs first game in the south since Mr Braghin exploded in to life, accusing all and sundry of a southern bias. A perfectly good goal was ruled out on the trip to Foggia, which led to an outburst directed at the league and its referees. Interestingly the game against Avellino will be marshalled by a referee from Bologna. It is as if they are now splitting the difference.
If they beat Avellino, the side they crushed 4-1 to really kick start their season; it will be the first victory on their travels south of Toscana this season. And with Carpi and Benevento playing the top two this weekend, it could leave PRO eight points clear in the race for a play-off space.
FORZA PRO!!!
