Pisa secured a crucial 2-1 victory against Brescia at the Stadio Mario Rigamonti on April 25, 2025, bolstering their promotion hopes while leaving Brescia mired in relegation troubles. The match started with a bang as Pisa's Mattéo Tramoni found the net in the 13th minute, capitalizing on a slick pass from Moreo. The initial excitement was briefly muted when a goal by Meister was disallowed after a VAR review deemed a foul by Calabresi on Nuamah to have occurred earlier in the play.
Brescia struggled to respond effectively to the early setback. Although they attempted to regain control, their efforts were thwarted by a resolute Pisa defense that maintained composure throughout the first half. The home side's best chance came from Dickmann, whose powerful effort was comfortably saved by Pisa goalkeeper Semper.
The match took an unexpected turn as heavy rain and hail forced a suspension in the 33rd minute, with players retreating to the locker rooms for an eight-minute delay. Upon resuming, the action resumed without a significant shift in momentum, with Pisa continuing to dictate the pace.
As the second half unfolded, Brescia's coach, Maran, made tactical adjustments, introducing Bjarnason in an attempt to revitalize the midfield. However, Pisa's defense held firm, allowing them to absorb pressure with ease. In the 79th minute, the visitors struck again; Touré scored from a corner taken by Tramoni, effectively sealing the match for Pisa.
Brescia managed to pull one back in the dying moments of the game, with Ante Matej Juric scoring in the 94th minute, but it proved too little, too late. The final whistle confirmed a 2-1 win for Pisa, further deepening Brescia's woes as they remain in the play-out zone with 35 points.
This victory places Pisa firmly in the promotion race, now just four points away from mathematical certainty for a spot in Serie A. With their next match against Frosinone looming, the excitement within the Pisa camp is palpable as they aim to secure their place in the top tier.
In terms of statistics, Pisa dominated possession with 56% and had a total of 10 corners compared to Brescia's 4. The match also highlighted the ongoing struggles for Brescia, who have not won at home in 12 consecutive games, a streak that has left fans frustrated.
Looking ahead, Pisa's Tramoni is now a key player to watch; he has scored in 10 different matches this season, contributing significantly to his team's success. Meanwhile, Brescia faces an uphill battle to avoid relegation as they prepare for their next fixtures.
As the season progresses, the stakes grow ever higher, and both teams will need to dig deep to achieve their respective goals. For Pisa, the dream of promotion is tantalizingly close, while Brescia must rally quickly to escape the clutches of relegation.
