(At the end of the season, I still want to summarize the closing stages of the second division of the four major European leagues (English, West, Italy and Germany) through each round of review, and if there is time, I will also add League One, and at the end of the season, I will also pay attention to the relegation and relegation of the third and even fourth leagues.) )
The Italian Serie C has entered the second round of the play-offs, with half of the 18 teams in the first round having been eliminated, with Tristina, Perugia and Casertana, the fourth-placed teams in the three divisions in this round. The format is still a single-elimination tournament, played at the home of the higher-ranked team, and in the event of a draw, the higher-ranked team advances to the next round.
It was a tumultuous one, with five draws in all six games, including three clean sheets, and the only one on the table was Juve's Under-23s, who beat fellow Pescara 3-1 away from home to advance to the third round.
There were no surprises from the three fourth-placed teams that played. Perugia drew 0-0 with Rimini at the Renato Curry Stadium and Caseltana drew 0-0 at home to Cerignola and the only one on the scoresheet was Tristina, who faced Giana at home to Gianna and was a goal-down winner from Roma's academy captain and homegrown centre-back Mallomo five minutes into the game.

In the other two draws, Taranto drew 0-0 at home to Piccherno, with the home side's substitute winger Canute missing a penalty; Atalanta Youth drew 1-1 at home to Legnago, with Guinean striker Mustafa Cisse scoring from the penalty spot and Legnago equalised from the penalty spot by Sividelkowski, but could not change the fate of the elimination.

The only match that was decided was Pescara's home game against Juve's Under-23s, where Juve's Macedonian striker Sekurov deflected home to give Juve the lead in the opening six minutes. In the 91st minute, center forward Gueira extended the score for the Bianconeri youth team, and in the 97th minute, Pescara's lone arrow Kubonne pulled a point back, but in the 9th minute, substitute Belgian youth winger Mbangula counterattacked and scored, and finally won 3-1. In the final moments of the game, there was a massive clash between the two sides, with one player each sent off.

The third round will be joined by the third of the three divisions, namely Cararese, Vicenza and Benevento, plus Catania, the winner of the Coppa Italia in the third division. The third round will be a two-legged home-and-away match.
