Catanzaro, February 14, 2026 – In a lively match held at the Stadio Nicola Ceravolo, Catanzaro triumphed over Mantova with a victory that strengthened their position in Serie B. The home team, despite having 43% ball possession, displayed great effectiveness in front of the opponent’s goal.
The match quickly opened with a goal by P. Iemmello in the 5th minute, assisted by M. D’Alessandro, setting the pace for the encounter. S. Pontisso extended Catanzaro’s lead in the 39th minute, again assisted by Iemmello.
While Mantova dominated possession with 57% and generated a higher number of shots (18 in total, although only 3 on target), their lack of precision and Catanzaro’s solid defense prevented them from converting their opportunities. Mantova also earned a total of 10 corner kicks, which they failed to turn into goals. The visiting team received a yellow card in the 45th minute. Catanzaro, on the other hand, received no cautions.
Referee Andrea Zanotti controlled the match without major incidents, in a game where Catanzaro’s effectiveness made the difference. The final result reflects the home team’s ability to maximize their opportunities and defend their lead against a Mantova that, despite their efforts, failed to translate their dominance into goals.
