Last day of the Serie D championship in which Molfetta hosts an Afragolese at the “Poli” in search of direct salvation, without going through the playouts. Even if the rossoblù from Campania can speculate on the direct competitor Nocerina who, objectively, has little chance on the field of Cavese who is forced to win to hope for promotion, it is always better not to make calculations and try to get the most out of this away match. There is little left to do for Molfetta mathematically condemned to the playouts and who can at most obtain the advantage of playing the play-off at home, admitted and not granted that Gravina lose at home against Sink in fact already relegated to Eccellenza.
Those who don’t get lost in calculations and calculations are instead the ultras of the two teams, present as always this season to defend and support the team representing their city. Both factions form a square, stylistically a little ‘drier guests and clearly with lower numbers than the hosts who, for their part, return something more to the eye with the pleasant note of color and movement given by the banners.
If in the stands each of the two parties tries to give what they can, on the pitch it is Afragolese who win with a goal in time, giving themselves the opportunity to play D also in the next season and forcing Molfetta into the dangerous queue of the playouts plus on the road. For the record, in this salvation clash played yesterday in Gravina, the Adriatic red and white clearly conceded 3-1 and unfortunately said goodbye to the category definitively.
