LEG--
The match was halted in the 65th minute after home fans threw smoke bombs and seats onto the pitch. The referee, Daniele Doveri, took both teams off the field to restore order. Despite attempts to resume the game, further disturbances led to the match's abandonment [2]. As a result, Sampdoria's aggregate lead of 4-0 was confirmed, securing their place in Serie B [3].
Sampdoria had initially been relegated to Serie C but was given a lifeline after Brescia's points were docked for financial irregularities. This move elevated Sampdoria to 17th place, allowing them to contest the first leg of the relegation play-off against Salernitana on June 15. They secured a 2-0 win in that match [2]. The second leg, originally scheduled for Friday, June 20, was postponed to Sunday after a food poisoning outbreak in the Salernitana camp [1].
Salernitana, on the other hand, has been relegated for the second consecutive season. Their CEO, Maurizio Milan, acknowledged the team's demotion to Serie C, stating that they will start from the third division immediately [3].
This outcome highlights the importance of the relegation play-off system in Serie B, which offers a lifeline to teams facing demotion. Despite the chaotic circumstances surrounding the match, the results remain a testament to the competitive nature of Italian football.
