FC Südtirol is in the semi-finals - UPDATE

Coach Rastelli was able to make full use of the team on Sunday with the exception of Dell'Agnello, who was injured for a long time. The White-Red coach relied on the tried-and-tested formations of the last month and a half, with Kiem and Bassoli in central defense and Pederzoli as a playmaker. This was supported by Fink and Branca. Rastelli used the Minesso-Corazza-Turchetta trio in the attack.

Under heavy rain, FC Südtirol struggled forward and were undoubtedly the dominant team at the start of the game. In the eighth minute, Pederzoli hit the post with a long shot from 40 m. From there the ball bounced onto the line but then rolled in the wrong direction. Two minutes later, Minesso tried it, breaking through on the right side and passing the ball into the center of the penalty area to Corazza, who headed it just over the crossbar. Como found it difficult to get into the game and only woke up after around 30 minutes. In the 30th minute, Schenetti tried a shot on goal, but had to miss it. As a result, the rain dominated the game and so the players went into the changing rooms when the score was 0-0.

At the beginning of the second half the rain was a little lighter, but the pitch continued to be difficult to play on. In the 60th minute, Minesso put a good ball up for Branca, but it slipped slightly and missed the goal. Shortly afterwards, Como goalkeeper Melgrati skillfully blocked a free kick from Pederzoli. The FCS continued to dominate the game afterwards, but in the 75th minute it was the guests who became dangerous. After a pass from Le Noci, Marchi hit the ball with his head, which Facchin defused with his knee. A minute before the end of the second half, Corazza found the ball at his feet - but his shot landed directly in front of Melgrati. So the game went into overtime.

There, FC Südtirol once again threw everything forward and created one opportunity after another, but without success and so the decision had to be made on penalties. There Facchin saved the shots from Defendi and Bencinvegna. After a battle that lasted almost three hours, the semi-finals were secured.

In the semi-final against Cremonese Cremonese is waiting in the semi-finals of the playoffs. The Cremona club beat Albinoleffe 8-7 on penalties in the quarter-finals. Former FCS player Alessandro Campo, among others, scored for Cremonese. The semi-finals will be played as a return leg over the next two weekends. Next Sunday the FCS has to play away first.
