FC Südtirol: Final offensive is not rewarded

There are still four games left in the Lega Pro and FC Südtirol will see the end of the season. In the second half of the season, Stroppa's protégés simply can't get up to speed. This was also clearly evident against Cremonese: the team from Lombardy was only one position ahead of the white-reds before the game, but at times they played at least one class better than the FCS and also had the luck of the good on their side. Five minutes had been played when Pasquale Maiorino danced from the left touchline into the middle and circled the ball under the crossbar of the FCS goal with a Sunday shot – 0-1.

Cremonese dominates The white-reds were shocked, while Cremonese missed the best chances: After Lima lost the ball, Brighenti prevailed against Mladen in a running duel and aimed just narrowly next to Miori's box (28th), then Miori made a mistake after Mladen's back pass, which resulted in Brighenti and Sansovini but couldn't capitalize (54th). Only a little later, Sansovini did better, passed a corner to Maiorino, got the ball back and hammered it straight into the corner - a dream goal that was probably seen by many as a preliminary decision (67th).

Fink immediately equalizes, Kirilov misses a great chance to equalize But not from Hannes Fink: Just a few seconds after the goal, the Rittner grabbed the ball on the left, dribbled into the middle and put the ball dry into the far corner to make it 1-2. It was the FCS' second chance on Saturday afternoon, as Mladen's header after a Bandini free kick failed to beat Ravaglia. Now there was a jolt through the Stroppa team, who subsequently settled in the Cremonese half. The best chance to equalize came shortly before the end: Bertoni chipped the ball over the home team's defense, Kirilov ran into the ball but stopped it too poorly, which is why Ravaglia was able to clear the situation with a daring tackle. Fink & Co. didn't give up afterwards, but in the last attempts they were too indecisive and not lucky.
