Following a 14-0 victory over Virtus Stabia in a summer friendly, the club transitioned into the Serie C Girone C season. In their season opener at the Arechi Stadium, Sorrento secured a 2-1 away win against Salernitana. Salernitana took an early lead in the 38th minute through a penalty converted by Lescano following a handball by Crecco. Sorrento responded in the 42nd minute with a header from Starita, before Cargnelutti secured the victory with an 89th-minute header from a corner kick. Following the match, Sorrento manager Vincenzo Maiuri praised his team’s intensity and effective substitutions. Conversely, Salernitana manager Serse Cosmi expressed disappointment, noting that his side failed to manage the lead and lacked defensive solidity. Cosmi further attributed the loss to difficulties managing the game alongside absences caused by injury and suspension, as well as poor physical conditioning in the heat. The defeat drew criticism and boos from the approximately 14,000 spectators at Arechi. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-23: Serie C Girone C: Sorrento defeats Salernitana in comeback win Serie C Girone C's opening round features Sorrento's 2-1 comeback win over Salernitana, Foggia's 1-0 victory against Crotone, and several high-scoring draws across the league. 31 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/bacigalupo-vasto-marina-coach-raffaele-scudieri-resigns ### 2026-08-02: Sorrento's 14-0 Win Underscores Dominance in Italian Eccellenza Sorrento thrashed Virtus Stabia 14-0, showcasing its superiority, while Villasimius coach Federico Cocco outlined a strong, balanced squad for the upcoming Eccellenza season. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sorrentos-14-0-win-underscores-dominance-in-italian-eccellenza --- Cite as: Sorrento football club competitive performance.
