The sixteenth matchday of Group A of Serie C ends with a picture that confirms the strength of Vicenza, but also highlights the growth of Inter U23, an increasingly solid presence in the upper part of the standings. The Nerazzurri team, despite not taking the field due to the match still to be played against Dolomiti Bellunesi, remains firmly in sixth place with 26 points, the result of a surprising journey for such a young team in its first experience in the category.
At the top, Vicenza continues its march: the 1-0 win over Lecco in the direct clash gives the Biancorossi a twelve-point lead over their pursuers, who are now forced to chase from far behind. Behind them, Union Brescia and Cittadella share the spoils with a 1-1 draw that does not substantially change their balance, while Alcione beats Trento and takes a valuable fifth place.
In the lower zone, Triestina breathes a sigh of relief, beating Pro Patria and trying to recover after the heavy -8 at the start caused by the penalty.
The updated standings are therefore: Vicenza 42; Union Brescia and Lecco 30; Cittadella 28; Alcione 27; Inter U23 26; Pro Vercelli 23; Trento, Renate and Giana Erminio 20; Novara 19; Lumezzane, Arzignano and Albinoleffe 17; Ospitaletto and Dolomiti Bellunesi 15; Pergolettese 14; Virtus Verona 13; Pro Patria 12; Triestina -5.
A placement that, net of the match to be recovered, certifies how Inter U23 is interpreting the championship with surprising maturity. If this trend continues, Vecchi’s team could become one of the brightest revelations of the entire season.
