Pro Patria 1-1 Correggese Calcio — Pro Patria were held to a 1-1 draw by Correggese Calcio in Italian Serie D on 25 October 2026 after a late equaliser denied the hosts all three points at the Stadio Carlo Speroni.

Match overview

Pro Patria started brightly and looked the more threatening side for much of the first hour. The hosts pressed high, won second balls in midfield, and created several half-chances before finally breaking the deadlock. Correggese Calcio, however, refused to fold and grew into the contest after the interval, eventually finding a deserved leveller.

The game was played at a good tempo, with both teams committed to attacking football. Pro Patria’s supporters expected a home win, but Correggese’s organisation and late surge turned the match into a frustrating evening for the hosts.

Key moments

• 18th minute: Pro Patria’s first clear opening ended with a low shot saved comfortably by the Correggese goalkeeper.
• 37th minute: The breakthrough arrived when Luca Ferrario latched onto a loose ball inside the area and finished calmly for Pro Patria.
• 52nd minute: Correggese responded with a header from a corner that narrowly cleared the crossbar.
• 74th minute: The visitors equalised through Andrea Bertolini, who swept home a cut-back from the right after a sustained spell of pressure.
• 88th minute: Pro Patria pushed for a winner, but a goalmouth scramble ended with the ball being hacked clear.

Tactical story

Pro Patria’s 4-2-3-1 shape gave them control in the first half, with the front four rotating well and the full-backs providing width. The hosts looked dangerous when they played through the middle quickly, but they became more predictable as the game wore on, relying on crosses that Correggese’s centre-backs handled well.

Correggese adjusted after the break, pushing their midfield higher and pressing Pro Patria’s deep-lying playmaker. That change disrupted the hosts’ rhythm and allowed the visitors to spend more time in the final third. The equaliser was a reward for their improved intensity and willingness to commit bodies forward.

Standout performers

Ferrario was Pro Patria’s most lively attacker, linking play and taking his goal well. In midfield, the hosts’ captain worked tirelessly, but Correggese’s Bertolini proved the game’s decisive figure with a composed finish and a strong second-half display. The visitors’ goalkeeper also made two important saves to keep his side within reach before the equaliser.

What the result means

Pro Patria will see this as two points dropped, especially after leading at home. Correggese Calcio, on the other hand, will take confidence from a battling away point. In the Serie D standings, the draw keeps both teams in the thick of a tightly packed group, with Pro Patria needing to rediscover their finishing touch and Correggese proving they can compete on the road.
