Simon Harasser One year after leaving FC Südtirol, he has earned a regular starting place at Sorrento. However, his club is still waiting for its first win after five matchdays, even though Harrasser has only conceded five goals in total. In the 0-0 away match against third-placed Catania FC, Harrasser even kept a clean sheet – in front of over 16.000 spectators. The Sicilian club, which was still playing in Serie A a few years ago, has a large following.

Otherwise, no South Tyrolean Serie C professional played this weekend – partly due to injury. Just like the only Serie A player Manuel DeLuca, who is still out of the running at Cremonese. In Serie B, lost Emanuele Zuelli (he played from the start) and Simone Zanon (he was substituted) with Carrarese at home against newly promoted Avellino with 3:4. David Wieser (lost with Mantova 1:3 against Modena) and Lorenzo Sgarbi (won 4-0 with Pescara against Empoli) remained on the bench.

Straudi can breathe a sigh of relief

The South Tyroleans who are under contract in the third German league were also not in action this weekend. For the new Cottbus player Simon Straud However, there was some good news: His former club Austria Klagenfurt owed eight players a five-figure sum, according to the football union "VdF." Some of the claims involved missing June salaries, including vacation pay, and others related to outstanding bonuses. According to WATER Straudi, too. "The former players were paid. We are now investigating with the players whether the reported amounts are correct," said VdF chairman Gernot Baumgartner.

New to the Austrian second division is Austria Salzburg, which lost 2-1 to St. Pölten at the weekend. Mathias Theiner substituted in the final phase.
