Mantova
Virtus Entella
Mantova secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Virtus Entella in a hard-fought Serie B encounter that was decided by late substitute heroics. The hosts controlled proceedings with 55% possession and created more clear-cut opportunities, registering 6 shots on target compared to Entella's solitary effort. Both sides made extensive use of their benches in the second half, with Mantova's tactical switches proving decisive when Tommaso Marras struck just six minutes after his introduction. The result provides vital breathing room for Mantova in their mid-table position, while Entella's struggles in front of goal - highlighted by their poor shot conversion and passing accuracy of just 67% - continue to hamper their campaign.
