FCS returns from Meda with one point

Strengthened by the comfortable 5-0 victory over Santarcangelo, FC Südtirol took on Renate in the away match in Meda. The Lombards are one of the big surprises this season, as they are in fourth place in the table, only two points behind the two leaders Sambenedettese and Pordenone. Renate has only suffered one defeat in eight games so far and is also unbeaten in five games, thanks to three wins and two draws.

FC Südtirol, on the other hand, has not yet won an away game this year. In the municipal stadium of Meda, Mister Zanetti had to do without the suspended Baldan and the injured Zanchi and therefore fielded the winning team from the game against Santarcangelo.

Both teams went into the game with a lot of respect for their respective opponents. It took the FCS almost ten minutes until the first significant attack: Gyasi found Fink in the penalty area and played to him, but goalie Di Gregorio was able to easily secure his cross to Tait. The game went back and forth in midfield for long stretches. In the 29th minute, however, the White Reds created a wonderful chance. Frascatore sent a long cross straight to Tait, who immediately headed it to Cia. The number seven of the FCS stood alone at the edge of the goal area, hit the ball poorly from the half turn and put the ball well over the goal. Nine minutes later, Di Gregorio prevented the deficit again. After a sharp corner from Cia, Tait powerfully headed towards the goal, but Renate's goalkeeper was able to deflect the ball onto the post.

FC Südtirol continued to be the more active team in the second half, but were unable to create any compelling scoring opportunities. It wasn't until the 2th minute that Tait played a high ball from midfield to Gyasi, and the striker passed it to Smith, who had just come into the game. He immediately shot at the goal, but goalkeeper Di Gregorio managed to keep his box clean again.

The game continued for long stretches without any notable events; it was only in the 78th minute that Renate's defense deflected a shot from Costantino. The White Reds were again unlucky with the following corner: Berardocco kicked the ball into the penalty area and Costantino volleyed it onto the crossbar. Costantino also got the rebound, but this time his header went over the goal. That left the score at 0-0.
