Cosenza Calcio 1914 1-5 Casarano | Serie C – Girone C
Casarano delivered a stunning attacking performance at Stadio San Vito-Gigi Marulla on May 7, 2026, thrashing Cosenza Calcio 1914 by a score of 5-1 in Italian Serie C action. The visitors produced a ruthless display of counter-attacking football that left the home fans stunned and their own promotion credentials reinforced.
Casarano took control from the opening whistle. They scored twice inside the first 20 minutes, catching Cosenza's high defensive line exposed on multiple occasions. A clinical third goal before halftime effectively ended the contest, with Casarano heading into the break with a commanding 3-0 lead.
Cosenza managed a brief resurgence after the interval, pulling one back in the 55th minute through a deflected free kick. The goal briefly ignited hope among the home supporters, but Casarano immediately restored their three-goal cushion just four minutes later. Two additional strikes in the final quarter-hour completed a 5-1 demolition.
Five-star performance on the road
- Casarano's front three combined for all five goals, with one player scoring a hat-trick
- The win extended Casarano's unbeaten run to seven matches in Serie C
- Cosenza suffered their heaviest home defeat of the season
