Round of 17 beckons: FCS UXNUMX on the road to success

Coach Flavio Toccoli's boys (he moved from Bozner FC to FCS in the summer) laid the foundation for this in the first leg at Rungghof. Opponent Feralpisalò was defeated 2-1. However, the white and red offspring missed a significantly better starting position for the second leg, which is scheduled for Sunday.

FCS gives better starting position for the second leg Younes Jamai gave FC Südtirol the lead after just two minutes. The assist came from Schenner Michael Unterthurner, who ultimately scored the winning goal for FCS with a wonderful shot from the edge of the penalty area. In between, the guests had equalized.

Emil Grezzani then missed a penalty from Feralpi keeper Spezia and Simone Zanon (he is considered a great talent in the FCS youth sector) hit the crossbar. Now the White-Reds can't lose on Lake Garda, then the play-off round of 16 is guaranteed. Following in the footsteps of the 1998 team? It is not uncommon for FCS-A youth to be successful. The 1998 vintage under coach Giampaolo Morabito made it particularly far, reaching the national final eight in Tuscany. However, that was the final stop for the young talents.

It remains to be seen how this year's A-youth will do - and what the FCS plans to do with the talent. At that time they wanted to integrate some of the youth players into the fighting team. In the end, no one made it. However, Simon Straudi (he plays in Werder Bremen's youth team), a key player at the time, made the leap abroad. Many of the A-youth players back then are now active in the major league. FC Südtirol – Feralpisalò 2-1 FCS: Weiss, Firler, Brentel (from 71. Tutino), Morabito, Sal Vaterra (from 52.
