Polisportiva Ossese were left to rue a costly second-half lapse as Certosa Vigor Campagnano came from behind to claim a 2-1 away win in the Coppa Italia Serie D on 31 August 2026. The Sardinian hosts started brightly and looked in control for much of the opening period, but a resilient Certosa side turned the tie around with two well-taken goals to book their place in the next round.

Match Overview

On an intense late-summer evening, Ossese came flying out of the blocks and tested the Certosa defence with early pressure. Their reward arrived midway through the first half when a cleverly worked set-piece was turned in from close range, sending the home supporters into celebration. However, Certosa Vigor Campagnano showed excellent composure, slowly growing into the contest and levelling before the interval with a clinical finish on the counter-attack.

The second half saw Ossese push forward with increasing urgency, but it was the visitors who struck the decisive blow. A fast break down the right flank carved open the home back line, and the Certosa striker made no mistake with a low finish across the goalkeeper. Despite a frantic final 20 minutes, Ossese could not find an equaliser.

Key Moments

• 26' – Ossese strike first: A corner kick was only half-cleared, and the hosts’ centre-back reacted quickest to bundle the ball over the line.
• 40' – Certosa equalise: The away side punished a loose pass in midfield, releasing their winger who squared for a simple finish.
• 71' – Winning goal: A swift transition caught Ossese stretched at the back, and the visitors found the bottom corner with a precise strike.
• 84' – Late chance: Ossese’s substitute striker headed narrowly wide from a cross, in what proved to be their final clear opportunity.

Tactical Story

Ossese attempted to dictate possession through a compact midfield and looked dangerous when pushing forward in numbers. Their full-backs provided natural width, but this left space in behind that Certosa exploited repeatedly. The visitors defended deep, absorbed pressure, and relied on quick vertical passes to hurt the home side on the break.

Certosa Vigor Campagnano’s disciplined shape made it difficult for Ossese to create clear-cut chances in the second half. As the Sardinians committed more bodies forward in search of a late equaliser, the away side remained dangerous on the counter and controlled the rhythm of the final stages.

Standout Performers

Certosa’s central striker was the clear difference-maker, leading the line superbly and taking both goals with real composure. The away goalkeeper also made two crucial saves after Ossese’s opening goal, keeping his side in the contest at a key moment. For Ossese, their energetic midfield anchor was the standout, covering plenty of ground and trying to spark attacks from deep.

What the Result Means

The victory gives Certosa Vigor Campagnano a confident start to their Coppa Italia Serie D campaign, with the team progressing to the next round and gaining valuable momentum. For Polisportiva Ossese, the defeat is a frustrating result from a match they controlled for long spells. The focus now switches back to the league, where they will need to show greater ruthlessness in front of goal if they are to make a serious push at the sharp end of the season.
