The Allievi Nazionali leapfrogged Vicenza with this afternoon’s narrow 1-0 win at Chisola, decided by Carlo Manicone’s goal just past the hour-mark.
Both teams approached the fixture with nine points on the board and their proximity in the league table was also reflected on the field of play, where a tightly contested tactical battle ensued for much of the affair.
Yet Manicone’s second-half breakthrough proved to be enough for Felice Tufano’s youngsters, who return to league action with an away trip to Genoa on Sunday 19 October.
