Two results changed in stoppage time: Catanzaro equalised at 90+2 and Avellino rescued a point at 90+4. Sampdoria lost by two, including an own goal, while Cesena also benefited from an own goal after being pegged back. Cremonese took the lead in the opening minute but did not add the second until the 80th. Those details distinguish an early advantage from a late goal that secures it, and prevent the final score from being read as a position that held throughout the game. The records below come from the same evening in the source calendar.
