The curse of Partenio-Lombardi ends. The success for the white-greens at home had been missing since October. Avellino wins the derby against Casertana: 2-1. All goals in the first half. The home team starts strong.
Wolves immediately net with Patierno, just two minutes after the start. The doubling at the fifteenth with D'Ausilio. A sparkling start for Avellino, but then Casertana wakes up and begins to become dangerous. At the twenty-second, the guests win a penalty for a handball by Frascatore. From the spot, Curcio does not miss.
Casertana still dangerous: providential Ghidotti on a sensational occasion. In the second half, few raids from one side and the other. The respective goalkeepers worried only about a couple of shots each. For the wolves, three precious points for the race to the top. Watching the derby was the captain of Napoli, Di Lorenzo. In the South Curve with the ultras cheering for the white-green team, the president of the Province of Avellino, Rizieri Buonopane.
