In a display of dominance, Pescara secured a significant advantage in the Serie C playoff semifinals with a 1-4 victory over Audace Cerignola. The match, which remained goalless in the first half, saw Pescara explode in the second half with Meazzi scoring a quick double, setting the tone for the remainder of the game. The hosts' challenges were compounded by the dismissal of Capomaggio, leaving them a man down and paving the way for Pescara's Tonin to add two more goals, despite a brief resurgence from Cerignola with a goal from Cuppone.
The other semifinal between Vicenza and Ternana ended in a stalemate, with neither team able to break the deadlock in a tightly contested match. Vicenza, playing at home, attempted to impose their game but found Ternana's defense impenetrable. The visitors, on the other hand, showed glimpses of threat on the counter but lacked the finishing touch to convert their opportunities into goals.
With the return legs scheduled for Wednesday, May 28, Pescara is in a strong position to advance to the final, holding a substantial lead from the first leg. The team's performance in the second half against Cerignola demonstrated both technical superiority and mental strength, qualities that will be crucial as they look to confirm their place in the final at their home ground, the Adriatico.
The Vicenza-Ternana tie remains finely balanced, with everything to play for in the second leg at Terni's Liberati stadium. The first leg's lack of goals does not tell the full story of a match that was rich in tactical intrigue and physical intensity. Both teams will need to find a way to break down their opponent's defenses if they hope to secure a spot in the final, making the return leg a must-watch for fans of Italian football.
