LATINA, Italy (Interstat) — Vincenzo Plescia scored in the 13th minute and Matteo Vagnoni answered in the 41st as Latina and Ostiamare played to a 1-1 draw on Sunday in Serie C. The match at Latina’s home ground was level after an early breakthrough and a late first-half response, leaving both sides with a share of the points. Latina struck first when Plescia finished the opening goal, but Ostiamare found its equalizer before halftime through Vagnoni. Neither team scored again after the break, and the home side could not turn its early advantage into a second goal. The second half produced no further scoring, though it featured four yellow cards and a series of substitutions from both benches.

Vagnoni’s 87-minute, one-goal performance led Ostiamare’s attacking output. Plescia scored once in 46 minutes for Latina. Plescia’s goal came in the 13th minute and gave Latina the lead. Vagnoni’s goal in the 41st minute pulled Ostiamare level. Plescia was replaced at the start of the second half after playing 46 minutes and scoring once. Vagnoni played 87 minutes and scored once before leaving the field. Their goals were the only scores of the contest, and the second half passed without another finish despite the changes and bookings that followed.

The first half ended with tension rising after Vagnoni’s equalizer. Latina’s Baez was cautioned in first-half stoppage time, a booking that came after the visitors had leveled the match. The second half brought more discipline from the referee. Bruscagin received a yellow card in the 72nd minute. Ostiamare’s Carbone was booked in the 84th minute, and Casolari was shown a yellow card in the 88th.
