FC Südtirol in free fall - 0:2 against Sorrento

The noose around FC Südtirol's neck is getting tighter and tighter. With three match days to go, the chances of staying out of the league have practically fallen to zero. Due to the shattered self-confidence, it can no longer be ruled out whether it will end up being a direct relegation.

The home team started the game well, as after two minutes FC Südtirol were dangerous for the first time. With a body deception, Filehner played free on the edge of the penalty area, but his shot was easy prey for Rossi. Eight minutes later it was Fischler again who was laid down on the edge of the penalty area. However, Alfredo Romano shot the subsequent free kick over the crossbar.

120 seconds later, the guests were dangerous for the first time when Corsetti appeared alone in front of Zomer, but the FCS number one was on the post. Just a minute later a photocopy of the previous action, only this time with a better end for the second-placed team. After a solo solo in front of Zomer, Erpen kept his nerve and sank the ball into the net.

The next action also belonged to Sorrento. Top scorer Paulinho hit a cross, but Erpen's left-footed shot went just wide of the goal (20th).

After that the game sputtered along until shortly before the break the guests became dangerous again. Carlini was sent into the lane with a great pass, but the Sorrento striker only hit the post (44th).

Even after the break, FC Südtirol didn't really get going. Although El Kaddouri caused something of a danger for the first time with an imprecise header (47th), the guests continued to be the more dangerous team after that.

In the 54th minute, the spectators saw a wonderful interplay between Erpen, Corsetti and Paulinho, but the Brazilian hit the ball with the subsequent shot over the goal.

On the other side, Mariano Romano crossed a free kick into the middle, where Manuel Fiwickeler shot too centrally and Rossi was able to save without any problems (63').

Sorrento closed the bag in the 71st minute. Nazari, who had recently come on as a substitute at FC Südtirol, couldn't control a ball (once again), Corsini passed it in the middle to Erpen, where he made it 0-2 from close range.

Maurizio Pellegrino then replaced his second central defender (76'/Kiem for Cascone) and brought on Albanese for Alfredo Romano (80') - those were the only two highlights until the final whistle after four minutes of added time.
