Now FC Südtirol can dream big

Just four days after the away win in Benevento, FC Südtirol also defeated Perugia 2-1. At least until Monday evening - when Genoa plays against Cosenza - FC Südtirol is only two points away from second place in the table. Even more important: The White-Reds are now nine points away from a non-playoff place.

Nobody in the Drusus Stadium is talking about staying in the league anymore, because FC Südtirol can dream of much bigger things. This also became clear on Sunday afternoon in the game against Perugia. This was certainly not a football treat, but the almost 4400 spectators still enjoyed it. They were even excited. That was because the FCS took the lead twice with a dream goal from Simone Mazzocchi and a goal from Marco Curto and finally bagged their next win.

In this scene, Simone Mazzocchi gives the FCS a 1-0 lead.

Coach Pierpaolo Bisoli's protégés had more game shares (46% ball possession), more shots (14) and more corners (9) than ever before against the former Serie A club, which was disappointing in all respects . Again and again - especially in the second half - the South Tyroleans were overwhelmed by having to formalize the game. Nevertheless, towards the end they found the right means to put an end to Perugia too. The key scenes Post! After a cross from De Col, FCS striker Odogwu has a free move from five meters, but his header hits the inside post. It's the 8th minute and now everyone in the Drusus Stadium is awake. Mazzocchi is warming up Again De Col brings a cross from the right into the middle. This time Mazzocchi heaves the ball with his head towards the goal, but he misses it by just centimeters (24th). A shot like a line Now the ball is fidgeting in the net! Mazzocchi shoots from 20 meters and the ball hits the far corner (25th). This goal was unsustainable and deserved. Oh scary! Perugia equalizes out of nowhere. Celli lightly touches an opponent in the penalty area and the referee points to the spot. Casaola converted the penalty to make it 1-1 (45th). Crossbar, Curto, Goal After a spectacular slapstick performance, FC Südtirol leads 2-1. The ball bounces from Perugia defender Curado's head onto the crossbar and from there onto Curto's foot, who doesn't need to be asked twice (74'). Goal, or not? In the 82nd minute, Zaro headed the ball from a corner to make it 3-1. However, the hit is canceled after viewing the TV images. The FCS defender Curto had hindered the opposing goalie with his elbow. This means that FC Südtirol remains unbeaten in the ninth game of the second half of the season. Fabian Tait and Co. want this series next Saturday (from 14 p.m. in SportNews -live ticker) against goalkeeper legend Gigi Buffon and his seventh-place team from Parma.
