In a disappointing turn of events, Triestina faced a tough defeat at the hands of Giana Erminio, losing 3-0 in their Serie C match on March 23, 2025. This loss comes at a critical juncture in the season, as the team grapples with relegation fears, standing nervously just above the drop zone.
The match, held in Gorgonzola, marked another setback for Triestina, who are desperately trying to secure their place in the league. Giana opened the scoring early, with Colombara netting a goal just two minutes into the match, followed by De Maria’s shot finding the net at the 21-minute mark, and Ballabio sealing the fate for Triestina with a goal in the 81st minute.
Far from the woes of the senior team, Triestina's Primavera side found success on the same day, earning a well-deserved 1-0 victory against Virtus Verona at the Gino Colaussi stadium. Coach Massimiliano “Max” Moras expressed pride in his team's performance, stating, “The result is deserved and is the fruit of an excellent performance both offensively and defensively. Congratulations to the boys for what they did against a valuable opponent like Virtus Verona.” His words underscore the importance of morale and determination as they look ahead to the playoff races.
The Primavera team is now back in the hunt for playoff contention with two matches remaining. This resurgence provides hope for the Triestina fan base, especially after a strong showing against a team that previously bested them in their earlier encounter. The victory boosts them to 31 points, closely trailing Pro Patria, with their next match against the same team scheduled for March 29, 2025.
Looking at the broader landscape of Serie C, Padova continues to assert their dominance at the top of the table, currently leading with 75 points following various performances across the league. Vicenza holds firm in second place with 71 points. The current standings indicate a fierce competition for promotion, with teams like Feralpisalò, Albinoleffe, and Renate also battling for the playoff positions.
Meanwhile, the results from the 33rd match day revealed the following outcomes: Alcione Milano fell 1-2 to Pro Vercelli, while Renate triumphed over Union Clodiense with a 2-1 victory. Other matches scheduled for March 23 include Novara facing Padova, AlbinoLeffe playing Lumezzane, and Vicenza hosting Caldiero Terme.
With only a handful of matches remaining in the season, Triestina's senior team must mobilize quickly to improve their standings; currently, they sit at 33 points, just marginally ahead of the teams below them, including Pro Patria and Caldiero. The pressure builds as every point becomes crucial—not just for avoiding relegation but for redeeming what has otherwise been a stressful season for both players and fans.
As the weeks progress, Triestina fans will be watching closely, hoping for a turnaround in performance. The Primavera success will hopefully serve as a catalyst for the senior team, encouraging players to find their footing and fight for each upcoming match. Could they rally to turn around their fortunes? Only time will tell as the final push toward the end of the season ramps up.
As it stands, Triestina faces a pivotal match against Feralpisalò, scheduled for March 29. This encounter will be crucial for their survival in Serie C, demanding a concerted effort from the entire squad. With the threat of relegation looming, there exists a sense of urgency to claim the necessary victories.
The stakes have never been higher as the season wends down, with each match holding significant weight in the standings. Fans will undoubtedly be hoping for not only a memorable conclusion to the season but also the prospect of pride regained in their home team’s journey.
