FC Südtirol is still looking for form

The good thing about the test games: They only have limited significance. Because once it comes to points, a team usually adds the necessary percentage points. FC Südtirol will also need these missing percentage points next Sunday for the Serie B opener in Brescia, because Lamberto Zauli's team still has a lot of room for improvement. On Saturday there was a 2-2 friendly draw against Serie C club Mantova at the FCS Center in Rungg.

There is no encouraging result in the last tough test of the season after Fabian Tait & Co. lost 1-3 in the Italian Cup against FeralpiSaló (also Serie C) a week ago and were eliminated. However, it would be presumptuous to be alarmist: a test match and a cup match do not have the same significance as a championship game. And the encounter in Brescia will be a completely different game anyway. 0-2 deficit, strong reaction Despite everything, a few points can be noted. In any case, the White Reds have to minimize their error rate. The South Tyroleans took the game against Mantova in the first half, but carelessly invited the guests from Lombardy to have chances (and goals). Before the 0:1, Davide Voltan misused the ball, the 0:2 was preceded by a mistake in the build-up game by Filippo De Col. Both times the FCS defense was surprised by the Serie C club's quick switching game.

The reaction that the FCS showed in the second section should be mentioned positively. In the first few minutes, the South Tyroleans surrounded their opponents in their half and equalized within five minutes. Davide Voltan scored one goal, netting in the second game in a row and is recommended to stay. The offensive player is on the FCS sales list. Daniele Casiraghi and Simone Davi, who are still slightly injured, were not in the squad on Saturday. The highlights Residue Davide Voltan loses the ball in front of his own penalty area, which then goes to Andrea Procaccio. The Mantova striker remains ice cold in front of Poluzzi (27th). Nice lifter After a mistake in the build-up game by Filippo De Col, Mantova's Filippo Guccione is served perfectly into the interface. The captain doesn't need to be asked twice and outwits Poluzzi with a lob - 2-0 (38th). Post times 2 Within a few minutes, the aluminum trembled twice: First, FCS striker Simone Mazzocchi was unlucky with a precise shot, then Mantova's Gaetano Monachello's 25-meter blast landed on the edge of the goal. FCS compensation Within five minutes, FC Südtirol equalized. First, midfielder Marco Pompetti heaves the ball into the net from 20 meters with his left hand (54'), then Davide Voltan curls a free kick into the net (59'). FC Südtirol – Mantova 2-2 FC South Tyrol: Poluzzi – De Col, Vinetot (from 46th Zaro), Curto, D'Orazio (from 46th Berra) – Tait (from 62nd Belardinelli), Pompetti, Siega (from 62nd Nicolussi Caviglia) – Carretta (from 62nd Rover ), Mazzocchi (from 62. Odowgu), Voltan (from 62. Capone)

Gates: 0:1 Andrea Procaccio (27th), 0:2 Filippo Guccione (38th), 1:2 Marco Pompetti (54th), 2:2 Davide Voltan (59th)
