Ascoli to Remain in Italian Serie B Following Draw

Ascoli 0-0 Como

Ascoli have been held to a goalless draw at home by Como, a result that confirms their place in Italy's Serie B for another season. The hosts started the match brightly and had the best of the early chances, but they were unable to find a breakthrough.

Second-Half Chances

Ascoli continued to press in the second half, but Como defended resolutely and goalkeeper Simone Ghidotti made a string of fine saves to keep his side in the game. The visitors had a few chances of their own on the counter-attack, but they were unable to find a way past Ascoli goalkeeper Enrico Guarna.

Remaining in Serie B

The draw means that Ascoli will finish the season in 14th place in Serie B, seven points clear of the relegation zone. It is a disappointing result for the hosts, who had hoped to challenge for promotion this season, but they will now have to focus on building a stronger squad for next season.

Como's Survival Hopes

The draw is a vital point for Como, who are now three points clear of the relegation zone with two games remaining. The visitors will be confident of securing their Serie B status with a win in their next match against Cosenza.
