Olbia in Serie D: now it's official. The 2-2 draw against Pontedera in the last away match of the season does not help the whites to avoid direct relegation with one matchday left in the Serie C championship.
The 5-point gap from the second-to-last Fermana in the class is unbridgeable, so after 8 consecutive years the Gallura team bid farewell to professionalism . At least on the field: the new SwissPro ownership makes no secret of wanting to present the readmission application, but the path to repechage could also be viable. In any case, more on that later.
Meanwhile, Olbia must try to close the tournament with their heads held high , trying to gain useful points on Sunday at home against Spal, already mathematically safe, for the possible ranking of the clubs requesting the repechage. Starting again from the performance offered today at the "Mannucci" in Pontedera would be desirable. Half time 5', the whites find the advantage with Fabbri from a corner kicked by Catania, the best of their team: a shame that in the 21st minute the Cagliari school talent Delpupo scores the equalizer for the local team, coached by the former Max Canzi.
Close to half-time, Oberdan Biagioni's team suffered a 1-2 draw, punished by Ambrosini's cross shot, aided by the post, but in the second half after 7' Catania equalized the score, scoring the first goal in the white jersey. Olbia is pressing in search of victory, their opponents, already certain of the playoffs but determined to improve their position in the grid, are no different, and the 2-2 is sacrosanct. Now, the last act against Spal. Which Olbia will have to exploit to try to say goodbye to their fans in the best possible way.
