3rd bankruptcy in a row: FC Südtirol is reeling

The starting position before the duel with Cittadella (9th) was not clear. FC Südtirol was definitely counting on something in Veneto, which is also due to the fact that Cittadella has to make do with the lowest budget in Serie B. But there was no sign of it on the pitch, as the hosts' 2-1 win was well deserved. There was little to see from FC Südtirol - apart from the first 10 minutes after the break. Coach Pierpaolo Bisoli had captain Tait start in the right midfield and relied on Emanuele Pecorino in attack, who replaced the not completely fit Raphael Odogwu. The game was cittadella right from the start. Even after Luca Pandolfi's opening goal (24th), things didn't get any better from the White-Red's perspective. The FCS had a hard time with the Venetians' diamond formation, so Bisoli switched during the first 45 minutes and moved Daniele Casiraghi from the wing to the ten. The FCS had its best phase after the break - but only until Casiraghi equalized 1-1 after a fine individual performance (56th). Cittadella then took the reins again and had good chances. In the end, substitute Filippo Pittarello's volley goal was decisive (66'). The most important scenes Goal conceded No. 1 Cittadella takes the lead after 23 minutes. Masiello inadequately clears a ball into the middle, from where it passes to Pandolfi. Davi loses sight of the Cittadella striker and it's done. Merkaj had previously missed the goal with a header. Penalty? No, not at all The FCS comes out of the locker room well after a weak first half. Referee Fourneau gives a hand penalty, but takes it back after VAR study. But the white-reds don't give up and make it 1-1 (56th) thanks to Casiraghi, who takes a Tait pass perfectly with his chest and finishes. Poluzzi in focus Cittadella reacts angrily to the goal. Cassano fires at the near corner, but Poluzzi saves. Captain Vita also fails with his shot from 10 meters past the white and red goalkeeper. Those were two very good chances for the home team (60.) Goal conceded No. 2 The winning goal comes after 66 minutes. Pitarello is forgotten at the far post and thunders the ball into the near corner with a powerful volley. Shortly afterwards, the Joker misses his second goal (68th). Not enough comes from FCS in the final phase. The South Tyroleans have no clear chance of equalizing. FC Südtirol has lost all of its last 3 games in Serie B. This means that the white-reds are getting closer and closer to the dangerous playout zone (only 3 points away). The league continues for Tait & Co. on Tuesday. Then the catch-up game on matchday 3 against Brescia is on the agenda. Kick-off is at 18.30 p.m. in the Drususstadion in Bolzano.
