In the second half the result has not changed and in the end this victory keeps the Azzurri in third place in the standings with 7 points, -3 from leaders Varzi and -2 from Alcione, who, however, both played one more race and must observe the rest shift.

At 14 ‘free kick by Provasio for the banini and touch by Pignatiello with a deviation from Procida in his own goal. But Sancolombano’s goal was canceled due to Pignatiello’s offside position on the recommendation of one of the referee’s two assistants. At 23 ‘good choral action by Pavia: D’Ippolito still dangerous on the left is good at serving Romanini whose diagonal end just to the side of the Sancolombano goal post. In the recovery of the first half blue doubling: free kick from the right brushed by Esposito and Procida stands out by slipping under the corner of the Bano door for a heavy 2-0 with which to go to rest. The second half reopens again with a nice Pavia with Bahirov who in the 1 ‘overcomes the home goalkeeper Ramella, but then he decentralizes and when he tries to kick he is opposed by an azulgrana defender putting in a corner.
On the following corner, beaten by the usual Esposito, a conclusion from the edge of Romani just outside. At the 6 ‘bank of Grillo’s head for the deviation of Noia high by a whisker but flag raised by the assistant for the offside position of the blue player.
Sacchi is overcome

At 32 ‘corner for Sancolombano with Provasio and touch of the hand of Procida and for the referee Coltelli is a penalty kick. Farina goes on the spot and a great save by Sacchi who deviates to the crossbar and then into the corner. A decisive intervention that closes the possibility for the hosts to reopen the match.
