As a result, the FCS created several top-class chances to score - before Virtus Entella equalized out of nowhere in the 26th minute. Andrea Paolucci hammered the ball right into the top corner from around 25 meters and caused great celebration among the home team, where former FCS young player Manuel De Luca from Pfatten sat on the bench for 90 minutes.
