Cerignola 1 - 0 Avellino. Cerignola triumphed over Avellino in the Coppa Italia Preliminary Round on Sunday, August 10, 2025, at the Domenico Monterisi Stadium. This victory secured Cerignola a place in the Coppa Italia round of 32.
It was a well-deserved win for the Ofantini, who had several clear opportunities but managed to convert only one, largely due to the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Antony Iannarilli. The decisive goal was scored in the 59th minute, following a brilliant assist from Russo, a header by Coccia, and a fantastic counter by Iannarilli, who also dealt with the rebound. The ball remained in play, and Luigi Cuppone charged in for his third opportunity and made it count.
Avellino had a vital chance to equalize in the 93rd minute, thanks to Crespi. The striker found himself in a great position within the penalty area but hesitated, allowing Greco to come out and make the block. Cerignola has now moved on to the Round of 32, where they will face Hellas Verona on Sunday, August 15.
