CREMA, Italy (Interstat) — A stoppage-time equalizer from Niccolò Corti salvaged a 2-2 draw for Virtus Verona against US Pergolettese 1932 in a Serie C match Saturday at Stadio Giuseppe Voltini.
The visitors struck twice in a chaotic two-minute first-half span. Marco Amadio opened the scoring in the 20th minute, followed immediately by Michael Fabbro’s goal in the 22nd minute for a quick 2-0 advantage.
Pergolettese mounted its comeback after halftime. The home side pulled one back, setting up a tense finish before Corti’s dramatic intervention deep into added time secured a share of the points for Verona.
The result leaves both clubs in the lower half of the Serie C table. Pergolettese’s season record is now 4 wins, 11 losses and 4 draws, while Verona sits at 2 wins, 12 losses and 9 draws.
