ACD Virtus Entella earned a narrow 1-0 home victory over Mantova in Serie B on September 14, 2025. A single first-half goal proved enough to separate the two sides in a match of few clear opportunities. The winner came from a defensive error by Mantova, which was pounced upon by Entella's forward, who finished coolly past the goalkeeper. Mantova enjoyed more possession in the second half but failed to create any major chances, with Entella's defense holding firm to secure a clean sheet and three points. This win provided Entella with a crucial boost early in the season, while Mantova was left to ponder their lack of cutting edge in the final third. The Entella coach was pleased with his team's defensive solidity and work rate.
