The Cittadella team qualified for the 1/2-final playoffs to enter Serie A after eliminating Bari on the 1/4-final clash between the two teams. The match was a real thriller that finished 2-2 in regular time and overtime. According to the rules, this result was enough for Cittadella to qualify ahead because of the fact that the team ended in a more senior position than Bari in the regular season. The first half did not predict the drama that will be raging through the second part. The guests first found the score in the 51st minute through Christian Galleano, but then Cittadella made a full twist with two hits of Paolo Bartolomeo in the 59th and 69th minute.
Three minutes before the last referee`s signal, Bari reached 2:2 with Nenne`s goal and brought things to extra time.
In them, new hits have not fallen, but that does not mean they have gone smoothly. The guests received 3 red cards for three minutes. First in the 114th Giomber was se nt off for a second yellow card and in the 117th red color he saw Franco Brienza for a rough offense in his back. The Sabine was knocked out of the bench. Eventually, the match ended in a draw, but the result was the Cittadella and the team continued on the 1/2-final playoff where they would face two matches predicted by soccer dropping odds against Frosinone.
