Benevento – Modena

Modena turned a hostile trip to Benevento into a 2‑1 victory, stretching their lead in the table to fourth place with ten points from five games. Benevento, who sit seventh with seven points after two wins, a draw and two defeats, were left trailing despite a narrow home defeat that left their goal difference at a modest +1 (6‑5). The win also gave Modena the edge in the season’s head‑to‑head, having already beaten the hosts once and never drawn. With the three‑point swing, Modena now sit three points clear of Benevento, who will need to recover quickly if they hope to climb back into the playoff race.
