Overview
- Brescia defeated Salernitana 2-0 at the Rigamonti on Wednesday, May 27, to win the two-leg semifinal and advance to the playoff final.
- Crespi, who scored a stoppage-time overhead kick to level the first leg, opened the return match within the first minute and Brescia sealed the win with a late Vido goal.
- The match did not go to extra time or penalties because Brescia led after 90 minutes; tournament rules provide extra time and penalties if a tie is level at the end of regulation.
- Salernitana travelled with roughly 1,000 supporters but could not overturn the deficit and struggled to create clear chances against a Brescia side with strong recent defensive form.
- The winner will face Ascoli, viewed as favourite after a 4-0 first-leg lead over Catania, for the sole promotion spot to Serie B in the playoff final.
