The match starts off uphill, with Gela defeated by Sambiase 2-1.

Another away defeat for Gela, which can no longer bring home points and extends its winless streak to five matches (the last victory was at home on February 15 against Acireale). In Calabria, the biancazzurri play a lackluster game. With Aperi absent in attack, coach Misiti chooses to leave Bollino on the bench and fields a team focused on defense.
The match, moreover, starts off on the wrong foot for the gelesi, who are already behind on the scoreboard after just 9 minutes. The action that leads to the home team's advantage, however, seems to be marred by a foul against Maltese. Sueva surprises Colace with a cheeky lob following the disputed play by the gelesi. The biancazzurri are shaken.
At the start of the second half, Misiti makes two substitutions immediately, with Bollino replacing Cangemi and Argentati (returning from a suspension) replacing Camolese. In the 6th minute, the equalizer seems imminent. Tuccio shoots on goal from a cross by Bollino, the home goalkeeper deflects it to Giacomarro, who, while running, shoots first-time at an open goal, but a local defender saves it on the goal line. Gela applies sterile pressure, and so in the 41st minute, Sambiase doubles the lead. The newly entered Furiato takes advantage of a poor positioning of the gelese defense and scores for the second time against Colace. Just before the final whistle, Gela manages to score a consolation goal. The young Berto, from a distance, collects a rebound from the Calabrian defense on a free kick taken by captain Maltese and, thanks to a deflection from a yellow-red defender, beats Lisi for the final score of 2-1. A defeat that does not bring a happy Sunday to the 70 gelesi supporters who traveled to Lamezia Terme.
