Hellas Verona will face Cittadella in the Serie B promotion play-off final after their 1-0 victory away to Pescara.
The first leg of this semi-final had ended 0-0 at the Bentegodi, so Verona were feeling the pressure.
As they had finished the regular season higher up the table, Pescara only needed a draw to go through.
However, after Verona goalkeeper Marco Silvestri made a desperate save on Leonardo Mancuso from close range, Gennaro Scognamiglio brought down Samuel Di Carmine for a penalty, which the striker also converted.
