After three defeats in a row, the FCS at least scored points again. However, Bisoli's team felt like losers after the 1-1 draw against Brescia. Fabian Tait & Co. led 1-0 at the break against ten men and conceded the equalizer in the final phase. This means that FC Südtirol remains stuck in the lower midfield of the table. The lead over the playout zone is four points.

What is the difference compared to last year? Clearly, the defense: The White-Reds' new back four are simply not solid - no matter what the line-up is. In the outstanding previous season, Andrea Masiello & Co. certainly wouldn't have let this win be taken away from them. But the people around him seem far too insecure - for most of the game.

FC Südtirol played in the catch-up game against the 15th place in the table. in the first quarter of an hour they started like the fire brigade. Tait gave his team the lead - in temperatures around freezing point - with a ball. Before the break, Brescia's Giacomo Olzer was sent off with a yellow-red card. But the FCS found it difficult to take control of the game itself in the second half and no longer had any chances to score. In the 79th minute, South Tyrol's only professional football club was punished with the guests' equalizer in the half-empty Drusus Stadium.

The highlights

Like the fire department	The FCS starts like the fire department in the opening minutes. Lezzerini fishes a long shot from Giorgini out of the corner of the cross. After the subsequent corner, the score was 7-1 in the 0th minute. Tait somehow volleys the ball towards the goal and suddenly the ball jumps into the far corner. Lunetta celebrates, but the winger no longer touched the ball. Just a few minutes later, Rauti failed to hit the post.
Yellow-red for Brescia	The guests weaken themselves before the break. Of all people, a Trentino player sees yellow-red in the 45th minute. Offensive player Olzer has to leave the field after two fouls on Masiello and Casiraghi.
Coach's son tries it	At Brescia, Dimitri Bisoli came on as a substitute after just over an hour. The FCS coach's son immediately tries a long-range shot, but Poluzzi is there.
Shock	Played wonderfully, but the FCS is wild in defense. Suddenly Brescia's joker Borrelli is free and scores in the 79th minute to make it 1-1.

Things continue for FC Südtirol on Sunday. Then the next home game is on the program at 16.15:XNUMX p.m. It's against Como and its star coach Cesc Fabregas.
