“Antonio Di Nardo opens the scoring moments after half-time, finishing off a move assisted by Giuseppe Sibilli.”
Pivotal“A chaotic finish to the match sees Entella camp inside the Juve Stabia box, with shots from Sana Fernandes and Thomas Battistella both blocked before Giacomo Corona finally forces the ball home to level the score.”
Pivotal
Virtus Entella
Juve Stabia
Juve Stabia struck first through Antonio Di Nardo just after the restart, converting a Giuseppe Sibilli assist to cap a goalless but tactical first half. Entella dominated the underlying numbers throughout, out-shooting their opponents 14-13, enjoying 53% possession and a huge 67-45 edge in dangerous attacks, but struggled to turn that pressure into clear chances until the very end. Both managers threw on a flurry of substitutes after the hour mark trying to force a breakthrough, and it was Entella's changes that paid off as Corona pounced in the 90th minute following a goalmouth pinball of blocked shots from Sana Fernandes and Thomas Battistella. The result leaves both sides level in a congested mid-table battle, with Entella's late surge offering more encouragement than Juve Stabia's missed chance to hold onto a hard-fought road point until literally the final whistle.
