Zero chances, zero goals and yet the FCS is a force
FC Südtirol remains unbeaten in Serie B! The Bisoli team held Modena to a draw in the top game of the 7th round on Tuesday. The fans applauded, but the football connoisseurs turned up their noses.

Cohesion, passion, tactical discipline. Or maybe luck, lack of courage, boredom? You can interpret it however you want, the fact is: FC Südtirol is marching through Serie B like a steamroller this season. Game after game, point after point, the white-reds are establishing themselves in the top half of the table. In the floodlit game in the Drusus Stadium, they held third-place Modena, who were also still unbeaten, to a 0-0 draw.
64 to 36 percent ball possession, 25 to 7 offensive actions, 17 to 5 shots, 488 to 222 successful passes. There is hardly a statistic about this game in which Modena is not ahead. The result is the same for both teams: one point.
FC Südtirol held against the strong players Canaries with the former FCS defense chief Giovanni Zaro fighting against it with all their might, narrowing the spaces and mostly keeping the danger away from goalkeeper Giovanni Poluzzi. Even though there was a fair amount of luck in the final phase, this point win was no coincidence. Most of the 3.570 spectators saw it that way, as they saw Fabian Tait & Co. off to the dressing room with applause. The 400 visiting fans did a similar thing, as their late return trip to Emilia was made easier by winning a point.
The key scenes
| Bisoli pulls out all the stops | After there was no forward momentum in the first half, the FCS coach took offensive force Rauti off the field and deviated from the initial 4-4-2 with winger Ciervo. But with just one striker, his team really starts to falter. With the introduction of Pecorino (for Rover) after an hour, order returned to the game, but little else happened in the forward movement. |
| Modena, always Modena | In the second half only Modena created chances to score. Substitute Oukhadda hits the crossbar (59'). In the 71st minute, Palumbo pulled just wide of the goal, ten minutes later Zaro, who had moved up, tried his header, and in the ensuing turmoil, Manconi missed miserably. |
| The last attempts | In the final minutes, the guests finally threw everything forward - without success. Time and again it is Manconi who causes danger. Poluzzi saved his header in the 88th minute, and in the 94th minute a deflected shot from the Modena joker turned just around the post. That's it! |
After the fourth draw in the sixth game of the season, FC Südtirol will try to maintain its invincibility next Sunday. Then, however, there is the difficult away game against second-placed and title candidate Palermo.
