Lentigione 0-2 Piacenza: Piacenza Grind Out Vital Away Win in Serie D Clash

Piacenza secured a crucial 2-0 victory away at Lentigione on 17 May 2026, strengthening their push for promotion in the Italian Serie D. The match, played under the floodlights at the Stadio Comunale, saw the visitors deliver a disciplined and efficient performance to claim all three points.

First Half Dominance Sets the Tone

Piacenza started brightly, controlling possession and pressing Lentigione high up the pitch. The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute when a well-worked move down the right flank ended with a composed finish from striker Matteo Rossetti. The goal gave the away side the confidence to dictate the tempo, while Lentigione struggled to create clear-cut chances.

The home side’s best opportunity before the break came from a long-range effort that sailed just over the crossbar, but Piacenza’s backline stood firm, with captain Simone Sbardellini marshalling the defence effectively.

Second Half Sealer Puts Game to Bed

Lentigione came out with renewed urgency after the interval, pushing forward in search of an equaliser. However, this left them vulnerable at the back. Piacenza doubled their lead in the 67th minute when a swift counter-attack caught the home defence out of position, and midfielder Filippo Bianchi slotted home from close range.

The visitors then sat deep, absorbing pressure and managing the game expertly. Lentigione’s frustration grew as they failed to breach the Piacenza defence, which recorded a clean sheet thanks to goalkeeper Andrea Rossi’s composed performance.
