Bitter evening in Turin: The sensation doesn't happen

It was the 73rd minute when the “Grande Torino” stadium fell silent for a moment. Ola Aina had missed a long ball and Simone Mazzocchi had pushed Gianluca Turchetta's template into the Torino goal to make it 1-1. Seconds later, the FCS dream of a round of XNUMX miracle was shattered – offside. But referee Daniele Manelli's whistle was a complete wrong decision, and the White-Reds were cheated out of a sensational equalizer. Bitter for FC Südtirol, who had bravely defied the sixth-placed team in Serie A until then.

Costantino gives away the lead The result after 90 minutes played was 0:2 from the guests' perspective. U21 national player Simone Edera scored the final score in the 81st minute. Previously, the FCS had not allowed any class differences. And that despite the fact that coach Paolo Zanetti didn't send his best team onto the pitch against Torino. Fabian Tait and the striker duo Caio De Cenco and Gianluca Turchetta had to watch from the start, but captain Hannes Fink put in a committed performance in midfield. Rocco Costantino missed a good opportunity to take the FCS lead.

After a good quarter of an hour, Rocco Costantino even had the opening goal, but the FCS striker missed miserably (17th). On the other hand, ex-national player Roberto Soriano, who moved to Turin in the summer, took the lead (24th). Mario Ierardi didn't cut a good figure and the shot was deflected. As a result, the FCS played well, but that wasn't enough to make it to the round of XNUMX. Torino will now face Fiorentina there.
