From full loot to breakeven. In the home straight. Leading with Ragatzu at the end of the first half, Olbia was caught again by Ancona a few minutes from the end of the match of the 9th return day of Serie C.
At the "Del Conero" Roberto Occhiuzzi's team did not go beyond the 1-1 against the fourth in the class, pierced in the 41st minute by the former Cagliari player, author of a splendid bicycle kick, and unable to reason from then on against the hungry adversary, who arrived in the Marches with the aim of gaining significant points in terms of salvation.
A feat cherished by the whites for a good part of the second half, until in the 39th minute, from an action orchestrated by Melchiorri, another former Cagliari player, the hosts managed to restore the balance with Simonetti's winning gore. A clamorous cancellation for Olbia at the end of a match dominated for long stretches against a dangerous Ancona only in the second fraction.
Luck has it (so to speak) that if the Gallura people don't run, the antagonists in the fight for survival really stop, so that with the point taken tonight away, Olbia catches Alessandria in fourth from last place at an altitude of 25, and moves to -4 from direct salvation, shortening by a length.
Sunday at the "Nespoli" in the derby with Torres will be a real show.
