This was a must-win game and this time Di Pietro’s boys made it. They put an end to a winning drought that had been lasting since the 8th of December. In the last ten encounters, Bassano had lost no less than 9 times, which meant this one against Isernia, just two points above, was crucial to say the least. It was close to ruin all its good work once again, but it played with heart and obtained three points that enable them to leapfrog Isernia and stand now fourth from bottom.
“I don’t care how it happened, a 3-2 would have been fine too – said coach Di Pietro, thrilled with the win – The only important thing tonight was to win and we won: The boys deserve it and they showed character, they came out of a very difficult situation”.
