Benevento goalkeeper Manfredini hands the ball to Leverbe, who is just outside his penalty area. The French defender blocks it and makes a too short pass towards his teammate Tosca, the Perugia player then pounces on the ball and scores into an empty net taking advantage of the misunderstanding between the two opponents. A goal that didn’t change the fate of the Umbrians, who were relegated to Serie C. The same fate for Benevento, who finished last in the standings.
