Juve Stabia is incredible and immortal. Once again this season, the Wasps decided the match in the 90th minute thanks to a penalty from Paponi that set the final score at 1-0. With these three points, the league leaders consolidate their lead over their pursuers.
First half between Calabria and Stabia lacking in emotions and goal opportunities. The home team probably tried more to take the lead with a remarkable ball circulation and some timid attempts towards Branduani's goal: first Borello who with his left foot after ten minutes scares Juve Stabia, then Borello himself is good at finding Vivacqua in the area but his header ends up wide. Vespe instead appeared tense for the entire 45 minutes, they certainly defended well with the usual attention but up front Paponi and his teammates never kicked towards the goal and this is an anomalous fact considering that the Caserta boys have the best attack of the group.
The second half began just as the first had ended: Rende tried to dominate the game, while Juve Stabia defended and attempted to counterattack. The first good chance of the second half fell to the home team when Negro, fed by the usual Vivacqua, headed wide, but the ball went wide. Caserta recognized their team's difficulty and decided to overhaul their squad around the hour mark with three substitutions. One of the new arrivals, Mezavilla, headed in a header, but it didn't trouble Savelloni. But Rende again came very close to taking the lead through Negro, who was unlucky and slipped before firing past Branduani. After 15 minutes of deadlock, Juve Stabia came close to making it 1-0 once again when Mezavilla, fed by Elia in the air, got there first, but shot wide.
What happened at the Lorenzon stadium in Rende was incredible: in the very last second, Blaze committed an incredible blunder, bringing down Elia in the penalty area. Paponi's penalty from eleven meters out sent Savelloni the wrong way, deciding the match.
