Aragona, Excellence is just a step away: only one point is needed for the promotion dream.
Casteltermini, play-out nightmare: home defeat against Margheritese and Aspra is now frightening
Three matchdays from the conclusion of the Promotion Championship Group A, only one point is needed for the leader Aragona to celebrate the long-awaited promotion. The overall standings indicate that the gap is nine points from the direct pursuer Alcamo, so mathematics dictates that they must earn one more point to access Excellence. Everything is postponed to Sunday, April 12, on the field of their cousins from Margheritese, where an invasion of Aragona fans is expected.
In this last round, the team coached by Carmelo Giordano drew 2 – 2 on the pitch of the Nino Lo Bue stadium in San Giovanni Gemini, concluding a match played openly by both teams, in front of a passionate crowd, where over 400 Aragona fans were recorded in the stands. Gemini took the lead with Colley, who put the biancazzurra team in trouble. Then everything got back on track with a goal from Namio, followed by a penalty converted by the home team with Stassi and the final equalizer from the usual Genova.
In the other Agrigento derby Casteltermini – Margheritese, the visiting team of Giuseppe Geraldi won 1 – 2. The belicina team took the lead with Santannera, then the Casteltermini equalizer of hope came from Cocita. Finally, when the match seemed to be coming to an end, Leo Zinna scored the decisive goal. Now things are getting complicated at Casteltermini, and the situation in the overall standings is becoming increasingly complicated.
Indeed, the ascent of Aspra continues as they are gaining important positions to leave the uncomfortable second-to-last position. The specter of playouts is a harsh reality, and they risk playing them away from home. Who could they face? Coincidentally: Aspra.
Upon the resumption of the championship, Casteltermini is expected to face the home game against Atletico Partinico, another high-tension challenge.
