Outstanding performance

Avellino stunned the hosts early through Raffaele Russo, but Ascoli's dominance in possession and territory eventually told, with 63% of the ball and 15 shots to Avellino's 12 reflecting their control throughout. An own goal from Patrick Enrici just after the break leveled things up, and Ascoli's second-half changes paid dividends as Andrea Silipo struck twice in a 14-minute window to seal the points. The result lifts Ascoli's spirits after a mid-table campaign, while Avellino's inability to hold their lead despite a strong defensive workrate (19 tackles) will sting given their otherwise disciplined display. Ascoli's greater cutting edge in the final third, six shots on target to three, proved decisive in a match that swung firmly in the hosts' favor after the interval.
