FC Südtirol wrestles a point from Hellas Verona

Coach Alfredo Sebastiani lined up his team with a 4-2-3-1 system. Captain Hannes Kiem and Denny Nazari played in central defense in front of goalkeeper Davide Zomer. Marco Martin defended on the left and Mohamed Lamine Traorè on the right. Coach Sebastiani positioned Mariano Romano and Alessandro Furlan in front of the defense. Alessandro Campo, Omar El Kaddouri and Hannes Fink played further forward in midfield. Matteo Marchi was the only real striker.

The guests' first attack took place in the 7th minute. Scapini laid it back for Russo in the penalty area, but his shot went clearly wide of the goal. As a result, both teams tried to set playful accents, with Verona in particular keen to gain dominance in the midfield. The FCS mostly tried to create danger with long passes from their own defense. I

n the 21st minute, Mattia Marchi came to the ball in the penalty area with his back to the goal after a pass from Alessandro Campo - Vergini briefly pulled his jersey - but his shot from the shot clearly missed the goal. After 32 minutes, Mancini tried to cause danger with an individual action, but his shot from around 25 meters went clearly over the goal, which was guarded by Davide Zomer.

Just a minute later, Alessandro Furlan tried to imitate him. But his left-footed shot rolled wide of the goal. In the 37th minute, Alessandro Campo crossed in front of the Verona goal, where Abbate was pressed by Hannes Fink, directed the ball towards his own goal and forced Rafael to make a brilliant save. Three minutes before the half-time whistle, the FCS attacked from the right. Alessandro Campo got the ball on the edge of the penalty area and played it into the path of Omar El Kaddouri, who was separated from the ball at the last moment.

In the second half, Hellas Verona started offensively. In the penalty area, Pichlmann failed to finish at the right moment. Hallfredsson chased the rebound towards Zomer, but the low shot that the Icelandic international launched was no problem for Davide Zomer.

In the 52nd minute, Hallfredsson beat Mohamed Traorè on the left and moved to the middle, but Davide Zomer was able to block his shot with his feet. Just a minute later, Russo brought a ball from the right of the penalty area to the edge of the penalty area, from where Hallfredsson shot the ball into the clouds. Just a minute later, Pichlmann got the ball in the penalty area after a counterattack, he broke away from his opponent, but his low shot was far too weak. In the 59th minute, Verona was awarded a direct free kick. Esposito tried a shot from about 35 meters, but the shot was too weak.

Verona increased the pressure after around an hour and were extremely dangerous, especially with a number of corners. Before the first corner, Hannes Kiem was able to direct the ball into the corner in desperate need.

After coming on as a substitute, Manuel Fiwickeler immediately brought a bit of momentum into the attack. After a pass from Alessandro Campo, he entered the penalty area, but Rafael was able to block his shot from a tight angle.

In stoppage time, Paghera tried to surprise Zomer with a powerful shot, which he partially succeeded in doing. Zomer couldn't hold on to the ball and Denny Nazari had to send the ball into the corner in desperate need. In the last minute the FCS had another opportunity. After Ceccarelli fouled Pietro Baccolo, Alessandro Campo tried his luck with a direct free kick, but the ball went clearly over the goal. The game ended in a goalless draw.
