Trino made it two wins in a row on Sunday, beating Valle Cervo San Lorenzo 1–0 at the Roberto Picco and moving on to six points after three Promozione games.

In a tight, tactical contest, one moment of quality made the difference. On 34 minutes, captain João Gabriel Brugnera collected the ball on the left, around 35 metres from goal, and sent a superb right-footed strike into the top corner. Valle Cervo offered little space and looked to break when possible, while Trino had chances to add a second after the interval, twice going close through Vergnasco. Cerruti was called into action from a dangerous Gila free-kick midway through the second half, but the biancoblu saw out the closing stages to secure another three points.

Brugnera, speaking to Al Nutisiari after the game, said he had been looking for the chance to shoot from distance and felt Trino had remained patient despite a difficult first half. He also highlighted the team’s defensive work and the progress being made by Vergnasco. His thoughts quickly turned to the next fixture: Pro Palazzolo, a side he described as well coached and dangerous, but one Trino will face with growing confidence.

For the Under 19s, the return half of the regional play-in began with a 2–2 draw against Livorno Ferraris Bianzè. The result leaves everything to play for with two matches remaining in Group 8.

The Under 11s were also in action over the weekend, finishing their tournament with four wins, one draw and just one defeat. Their victories came against Monferrato, twice, Caltignaga and Valle Elvo, alongside a 1–1 draw with Canadà Vercelli and a 2–0 defeat to Accademia Casale.

The week ahead.
It is a particularly important week for the Under 19s. Tonight at 8.30pm, Trino travel to Crescentino for a decisive meeting with Crescentinese. Three days later, on Saturday, 26 September at 3.00pm, the biancoblu complete their Group 8 play-in campaign at the Roberto Picco against Diavoletti Calcio Vercelli. Those two games will settle Trino’s hopes of progressing to the next stage of the regional competition.

Then, on Sunday, 27 September at 3.30pm, the senior side are back at the Picco for another local derby — and against a very familiar opponent.

Pro Palazzolo arrive in Trino for what will already be the third meeting between the two clubs in less than a month. The first two came in the Coppa Italia: Palazzolo won the opening leg 1–0 on 30 August before a goalless return on 10 September secured their place in the next round. Both matches were played at the Picco, the second despite Palazzolo being nominally the home side.

Now the rivalry moves to the league. Pro Palazzolo have seven points from their opening three games and arrive after an extraordinary 4–4 draw with Gattinara, recovered with three goals in the closing stages. Trino, meanwhile, have won their last two and will be looking to extend that run in a derby that has quickly become one of the early themes of the season.
