Key Match Notes

  • ▸ Benevento's quick 3-goal surge in the first half (25', 32', 45') set the tone for the match, giving them a commanding lead going into halftime.
  • ▸ Ascoli's substitution trio at the start of the second half (Cristian Andreoni, Leonardo Morosini, Matteo Trotta) provided a brief spark, with Morosini scoring soon after, but Benevento's resilience and offensive depth proved too much for Ascoli.
