The international break gave the top two divisions a breather last weekend and left the domestic spotlight shining on Serie C.
It’s safe to say the third tier did not disappoint.
Another action-packed round of fixtures provided plenty of talking points but it was the displays from the fans that caught the attention as much as the performances on the pitch.
Ternana’s social channels gave a colourful taste of the Umbrian derby following their goalless draw with Perugia.
Take a look at the clips below to get an idea of the atmosphere at the quite remarkable Stadio Libero Liberati in Terni.
The Rossoverdi stay second in Group B, four points behind leaders Virtus Entella but well clear of mid-table Perugia, and in possession of the bragging rights for now.
The club’s message on Instagram thanked the fans, adding: “We need you to keep fighting.”
In Group C, Avellino put on a show to beat Potenza 1-0 and jump to the top of the table. Raffaele Russo scored the only goal of the game to spark the celebrations.
Mayor Laura Nargi was quoted in avellinotoday.it saying: “Driven by the extraordinary warmth of a thrilling fan base, the black and greens gave us a truly magical evening. Good luck, guys!”
We can see what she means. Magical indeed.
Catania have the highest average attendance in the third tier at a touch more than 16,000 and the crowd were in fine form for the visit of Crotone.
No goals in this one but that didn’t dampen the mood at the Stadio Angelo Massimino.
Further down the pyramid, not to be outdone, Siracusa impressed on and off the pitch against Castrumfavara.
They fought back from a goal down at the break to win 3-1, Sebastiano Longo’s double sending the home fans wild.
