LUPA ROMA WIN SERIE C/C!
An absolutely incredible campaign that started out with five consecutive losses in all competitions has culminated in the penultimate match with the lifting of the league trophy and promotion to Serie B! After taking an early 2-0 lead, Diego Conson found himself on the wrong end of a second yellow card an automatic sending off. Matera managed two goals in the next 15 minutes and continually threatened to take the lead until the plucky Lupa Roma side found a way and found a goal from Rocky Siberie.
What seemed to be a sheer impossibility and something that was not even discussed or thought of before the season began has come to fruition. Manager Dondario Abenasi in his first professional season of management has taken Lupa Roma, widely tipped for relegation to the top of the table with a torrid run of 24-5-5 since losing their opening three league matches.
Abenai wishes to stay with the club and work to consolidate their position in Serie B for 2015/6, but there has been no word of a contract extension. Rumors that the club is struggling financially have led to thoughts that Abenasi will not be handed a new deal despite his rousing success with the club.
