Owner Angelo Antonio D'Agostino had asked for ten victories, barely a draw was achieved. Avellino managed to catch up in the second half to a 1-1 on Cerignola's field, after also missing a penalty kick. The home team started strong and at the 34th minute, with a shot from twenty meters, Ruggiero gave the advantage to the people from Puglia. The wolves were not aggressive and failed to set up dangerous actions.
Upon returning from the locker room, Avellino received a penalty. In the second minute of the second half, the wolves earned a shot from eleven meters for a hold in the area. Sgarbi's penalty was saved by Barosi. However, the goal arrived at the 32nd minute with Gori who, after receiving from Cionek, scored on the far post. In the end, another chance for the white and greens with Rocca, but it all vanished because Barosi intervened.
