Catanzaro moves closer to the Serie B playoff final after a convincing 3-0 win over Palermo, thanks to a Iemmello brace and a Liberali goal. The match was played at the Ceravolo, where the home team dominated from the start. Iemmello opened the scoring in the 1st minute with a header, and then scored again in the 15th minute with a volley. Before halftime, Liberali scored the third goal for the home team, assisted by Iemmello. Aquilani's team continued to push in the second half, but Palermo was unable to react. Catanzaro has thus moved closer to the final, after eliminating Avellino in the preliminary round. The return match will be played on Wednesday at the Barbera. Palermo will have to perform a miracle to overturn the result, considering that no extra time or penalties are planned. Inzaghi's team will have to win with a difference of at least three goals to pass the round. Catanzaro, on the other hand, can count on its solid defense and the attack led by Iemmello, who has scored 12 goals this season. The return match promises to be very exciting, with Catanzaro seeking to conquer the final and Palermo fighting to stay in the running. The team's fans are eager to see their team succeed, and the players are determined to make it happen. With a strong performance, Catanzaro can make its dream of reaching the final a reality.
