The FCS almost has the playoffs in the bag – Hannes Kiem scores

The FCS remains a power in the home Drusus Stadium. Thanks to the 3-0 win against the “Black Devils” from Liguria on matchday 31 of the 1st Division Lega Pro, the White-Reds have been without a defeat for 15 months. However, the FCS had a hard time. After taking the early lead, the guests grew stronger towards the end of the first half and pushed hard for an equalizer at the start of the second half. Somehow the defense around goalie Marcone pulled itself out of the affair. Campo and Kiem, who came on for him, made everything clear towards the end of the game. The FCS remains on course for the playoffs.

The game started very entertainingly. After less than a minute the hosts became dangerous for the first time. Paroni couldn't hold on to a shot by Pasis, the ball fell to Maritato, whose final attempt, however, scraped Cesar off the line at the last moment.

Virtus Entella's answer came in the fourth minute. Guerra received the ball into the lane from Staiti and beat Marcone with a lob, which fortunately went over the goal for FCS.

The initial phase was very lively, it went back and forth constantly. However, FC Südtirol had the greater share of the game and were rewarded after just under a quarter of an hour. Because in the 14th minute Pasi made it 1-0. After a Campo corner, Cappelletti extended with his head and the FCS number “11” only had to push the ball over the line. For Riccardo Pasi it was the third goal of the current season, the second in a row after the goal in the game against Cremonese.

Virtus Entella scores, but the goal doesn't count The white-reds remained in control even after the opening goal. Campo tried a left-footed shot from 21 meters in the 20st minute, but it went over the visitors' goal. As a result, the white-reds laid siege to the opposing half, but without taking too many risks. On the other side, Bianchi caused a moment of shock when he sank the ball into the goal. Luckily, the referee had blown the whistle shortly before because the Ligurian central defender was in an offside position.

The home team then slowed down and left Virtus Entella to take control of the game. They had an opportunity in the last minute of the game after a corner, but Maritato was able to clear it. With the narrow lead for FC Südtirol, both teams went into the locker room.

After the break, Virtus Entella pushed for the equalizer and appeared dangerously in front of Marcone's goal several times. But the FCS goalie was able to keep his box clean. Cappelletti and Bassoli didn't always make the safest impression in the defensive center.

The first opportunity for the White-Reds only came in the 63rd minute when Pasi missed completely after great preparatory work from Maritato. Four minutes later, Maritato took the ball, but the resulting shot went wide to the left of the goal.

Kiem came, saw and… scored! In the 73rd minute, Campo made it 2-0. Martin crossed from the left into the middle, where the captain placed a heavy burden on participation in the playoffs with his tenth goal of the season. Ten minutes later, substitute Hannes Fink almost made it 3-0, but Paroni directed the ball out of the goal.

A few seconds later the third goal for the white-reds. Again it was a home player, again he had only been substituted a few moments before. Hannes Kiem, the captain who came in for Alessandro Campo, scored in the 84th minute. After a corner from Hannes Fink, Kiem nodded the ball over the line. Nothing much happened after that, Virtus Entella was completely satisfied.
