Tre partite in una settimana e gerarchie ancora una volta rimesse in discussione. E' la Serie B, resa ancora più tirata e indecifrabile dal secondo turno infrasettimanale: a comandarla adesso c'è il Cesena e non più la sorpresissima Crotone, caduto nel big-match di Pescara anche se in modo meno pesante di quanto il 4-1 farebbe pensare.

E così farà il Cesena, che in attesa del Monday Night fra Cagliari e Vicenza, sorpassa il Crotone e va in testa da solo, a +2, grazie alla sesta vittoria in casa su sei: 2-0 sulla Virtus Lanciano, aperto da Perico e chiuso da Kessié. Tra le altre pretendenti alla Serie A, settimana d'oro per il Livorno: sesto successo stagionale; e sette punti in otto giorni per la squadra di Panuc...
