Sarrabus, Sardinia – COS Sarrabus Ogliastra emphatically ended a recent challenging stretch with a dominant 5-2 victory over Cassino on Sunday, reigniting their survival hopes in the league.The win, secured with goals from Marsilii (2), Nurchi, and Marini, moves COS to a crucial 20-point mark – a figure historically linked to avoiding the playout zone.

The second half saw Intinacelli enter the game in place of Sacko. COS then exploded into action,with Nurchi scoring a spectacular goal in the 30th minute,weaving through the defense before unleashing a powerful shot from the edge of the box.Just two minutes later, Marini added a sensational second, curling a left-footed effort under the crossbar.
While Cassino managed a late goal through Sorrentino in injury time, it proved merely a consolation. The final scoreline of 5-2 reflects COS’s control and attacking prowess.
