Defeat in Modena: FCS misses the semi-finals

The starting position was clear: with a win, the FCS would have had 4th place and the associated semi-final ticket in their pocket. But the white-reds had a weak first half on the last matchday of the regular season and lost 1-2 in Modena. Because the competitors from Cagliari and Parma won, FC Südtirol slipped to 6th place in the table.

This means that Bisoli's team will enter the playoffs in the preliminary round. Fabian Tait & Co. will meet Reggina at home next Friday, who qualified for the promotion games at the very last minute. There is no return match. The winner advances to the semi-finals. If there is still a draw after 90 minutes plus extra time, the FCS is through because it is better placed in the championship. Bari is waiting in the semi-finals.

The FCS played one of the weakest halves of the season on Friday evening in Emilia Romagna. After conceding an early goal by Inter-trained striker Nicholas Bonfanti, FC Südtirol seemed shocked. Modena was superior in all respects, let the ball and opponents run and led 23-2 after just 0 minutes. In front of almost 10.000 spectators, the Canarini gave their outgoing coach Attilio Tesser a fitting farewell gift - even if it was no longer about anything in terms of sport for the promoted team. In the end, Modena narrowly won 2-1 because Fabian Tait brought the FCS close again at the beginning of the second period.

FCS wakes up too late The needed FCS day started during the warm-up when Simone Davi was injured. Mirko Carretta came into the starting line-up for Leifer. Instead, Filippo De Col had to play at left back. At the break, Bisoli made three changes and brought in fresh offensive blood with Matteo Rover, Joaquin Larrivey and Gabriel Lunetta. After switching to a 3-5-2 system, the FCS were much better in the game, but it was no longer enough for a draw. In the end, this would not have been enough to achieve a better position in the table.

The highlights FCS shocked In the 11th minute, Modena took the lead: After a nice combination, Bonfanti De Col in the penalty area with a backheel and pushed in from a few meters to make it 1-0. The FCS then appeared shocked and conceded the next goal 12 minutes later: Duca had too much space on the edge of the penalty area after a counterattack and shot at goal. Poluzzi defuses the curling shot right at the feet of Luca Magnino, who makes it 2-0. The FCS keeper doesn't look good here either. Tait Hammer What a beam from Captain Fabian Tait! The Salurner packs all the anger and frustration of the first half into this shot from 20 meters and hammers the ball into the net. The FCS scored the next goal in the 54th minute.
