Match Overview

Scafatese took control from the first minute. Their high-pressing game overwhelmed Savoia’s midfield, and by half-time they had already built a 3-0 lead. Savoia briefly threatened a comeback after pulling one back early in the second half, but a fourth goal for Scafatese quickly extinguished any hopes of a revival.

Key Moments

• 8' – Scafatese strike first: A long-range effort from outside the box found the top corner, giving the hosts no chance.

• 45+2' – Fourth goal just before half-time: A clinical counter-attack made it 4-0 at the break.
• 53' – Savoia respond: A penalty converted by captain Luca Esposito brought the score to 4-1.

Tactical Story

Scafatese’s 4-3-3 formation exploited the flanks, with wingers constantly isolating Savoia’s full-backs. The midfield trio provided relentless energy, winning second balls and launching rapid transitions. Savoia, in contrast, appeared disjointed and struggled to complete passes in the final third. Their defensive line was caught too high on multiple occasions.

Standout Players

• Antonio Rizzo (Scafatese): Scored twice and assisted another, a man-of-the-match display.
• Marco Bianchi (Scafatese): Dominated the midfield with his passing range and tireless running.
• Luca Esposito (Savoia 1908): The only bright spot for the home side, scoring the consolation penalty and never giving up.

Season Context

The result is a major blow for Savoia’s playoff ambitions, dropping them to eighth in the Serie D Girone H standings. Scafatese, meanwhile, climb into the top four and now look like serious promotion contenders. With only a handful of matches remaining, Savoia will need to regroup quickly.
