Cittadella are on the verge of a historic promotion to Serie A after taking a 2-0 lead in their two-legged playoff with Verona.

Davide Diaw scored either side of half-time to leave Cittadella in a strong position ahead of Sunday’s second leg.

The Venetian club were only founded in 1973 and have never played in the top tier of Italian football.

A 2-0 scoreline may not usually be that safe, but there is no extra time or away-goals rule in the Serie B playoffs.
