Avellino Dominates Ascoli 4-1 in Under 17 Championship

US Avellino 1912 defeated Ascoli Calcio 4-1 in the Under 17 A/B Girone C championship on matchday four, led by a multi-goal performance from substitute Sorrentino. The fixture unfolded, where the home side bounced back from an early equalizer to secure a comfortable three-point margin.

Avellino and Ascoli Trade Early Goals Before Break

Avellino struck first when Gaglione converted just three minutes into the match. Ascoli responded midway through the first half, as team captain Catanzaro leveled the score at 1-1 in the 21st minute. The hosts reclaimed the lead just before halftime, however, when Villari found the net in the 38th minute to make it 2-1.

Ascoli goalkeeper Dediu left the pitch in the 32nd minute, replaced by Grassi. Referee Francesco Di Domenico of Isernia cautioned Avellino players Mastantuono and Acri during the opening period, alongside Ascoli player Manfredini.

Sorrentino Secures Victory From the Bench

Avellino manager Vincenzo Fusco turned to his bench in the second half to put the match out of reach. Sorrentino entered the game in the 56th minute for Cirillo and immediately impacted the attack. He extended Avellino’s lead to 3-1 in the 67th minute before adding his second and his team’s fourth in the 74th minute.

Ascoli coach Andrea Gessa used substitutions, introducing Albanesi, Cappella, Nespeca, Bocci, Teriaca, Ficuciello, Calvarese, and Spano across the second half to chase the deficit. The changes failed to spark a comeback as Avellino managed the closing stages through late substitutes Giuliano, De Simone, and Verrazzo.

Match referee Francesco Di Domenico managed the disciplinary discipline with assistance from linesmen Vatierno of Agropoli and Forgione of Avellino. The officials issued three yellow cards across the 90 minutes, penalizing Mastantuono and Acri for Avellino and Manfredini for Ascoli.
