Defensive bulwark holds and scores: FC Südtirol wins 1-0

Not only that: FCS is currently solid on defense and hasn't conceded a single goal in the last five games. The icing on the cake? On Wednesday, of all people, a defender took on the role of the decisive player in the game. It was 19-year-old Martin Erlic who shot in the penalty area ten minutes before the end and hit the deflected ball into the net for the golden 1-0 goal.

The first away win of the season Against the promotion candidate, FC Südtirol was initially careful not to concede a goal and was defensively secure. Both teams didn't do much offensively in the first half - until the 45th minute. That's when FCS defender Sgarbi had the biggest chance of the game so far when he headed a cross from Bertoni over the box from very close range.

After the break, Sambenedettese became more concrete offensively and missed the 1-0 lead after ten minutes when Di Massimo hit the post. A little later, Valocchia hit the ball over from a good position. FC Südtirol, on the other hand, found the next top-class player in Costantino, but the attacker showed nerves in a one-on-one duel with goalie Aridità and flicked the ball next to the goal. But in the end it didn't matter: Ten minutes before the end, the advanced Erlic made his big appearance and shot FC Südtirol to victory. By the way: These were the first three points that the FCS was able to get in front of a foreign audience this season.
