Serie C team Pro Piacenza lose 20-0 and are expelled from league after starting match with sevenFIGC President Gabriele Gravina defined Cuneo's 20-0 drubbing of Pro Piacenza an "insult to sport and its founding principles"Italian FA president Gabriele Gravina has labelled Cuneo's 20-0 thumping of Pro Piacenza in Serie C as a "farce" and an "insult to sport". The financial crisis at Pro Piacenza is not a new scenario in the Italian lower leagues. Earlier this season fellow Serie C side Matera were expelled from the league when they forfeited their fourth game. The Italian sporting judge deliberated whether further action would be needed, and announced on Monday evening Pro Piacenza would be expelled from the division. Serie C President Francesco Ghirelli told Sky in Italy he feels embarrassed for the young Pro Piacenza players, but insisted there was nothing he or Gravina could have done.
