Last minute win: This FC Südtirol is incredible!

Three days ago, FC Südtirol provided a football festival when Daniele Casiraghi sealed FC Südtirol's place in the semi-finals against Reggina with a goal in the 89th minute. Who would have thought that the White Reds would experience déjà vu so quickly and so spectacularly? In the semi-final first leg against Bari, Matteo Rover secured a 92-1 win with a goal in the 0nd minute - and the completely sold-out Drususstadion with its 5520 fans was upside down again!

This now means that FC Südtirol will start the second leg in Bari with a big advantage, which will take place on Friday from 20.30 p.m. The southern Italians have to win to make it to the playoff final, but a draw is enough for the FCS. <a data-fancybox="gallery-test" class="spn-fancybox uk-inline first" href="https://s3-images.sportnews.bz/_images/scale/1400x800/img/2023/05/die-entscheidende-szene-matteo-rover-links-in-weiss-koepfelt-die-kugel-ueber-die-linie-alle-fotos-dlifeognibeni.jpg" data-caption="Die entscheidende Szene: Matteo Rover (links, in weiß) köpfelt die Kugel über die Linie...

For a long time on Monday evening in the Drususstadion there was a lot, not to say everything, pointing to a 0-0 draw. Both teams acted extremely tactically, neither wanted to risk a bit too much, but there was a lot of midfield fighting and tension. The FCS, which operated with a three-man or five-man chain due to the absence of Andrea Masiello (elbow injury), had the Bari storm around striker Walid Cheddira and ex-Inter talent Sebastiano Esposito under control at all times. This meant that the Bisoli team was on the ball comparatively often and also appeared more courageous offensively than the guests.

Not many people expected that there would be another goal in this game, which was extremely flat, especially in the final quarter of an hour. But then the South Tyrolean fighter's heart struck again: cross from Casiraghi, header from Rover, escalation in the Drususstadion! Short and sweet: the highlights He has fire After 24 minutes, things started to rise for the first time – off the field. Bari's Valerio Di Cesare falls to the ground in front of the FCS bench and is reprimanded by coach Pierpaolo Bisoli. There are verbal battles, with Bisoli loudly arguing with the Bari bench - even after the game is back on track. Post! A murmur goes through the Drususstadion when Kevin Vinetot heaves the ball onto the aluminum after a corner. But the excitement is in vain: a few moments earlier the referee had interrupted the game (65th). Huge thing That was a great possibility! Matteo Rover crosses smoothly into the middle, Odogwu puts it down very delicately, but Simone Mazzocchi cannot convert this penalty in motion and aims it next to the goal. He has to do that (75th). And then Rover came The game seems to be over, injury time is ticking towards the end. And then Jolly Casiraghi circles a cross into the middle, where another Jolly, Matteo Rover, pushes the ball over the line - and causes pure ecstasy in the Bolzano football temple. FC Südtirol – Bari 1-0 FCS (3-5-2): Poluzzi – Curto, Zaro, Vinetot – De Col (from 87th Larrivey), Tait, Fiordilino (from 75th Celli), Belardinelli, Lunetta (from 56th Rover) – Odogwu, Mazzocchi (from 75th Casiraghi)

Bari (4-3-1-2): Caprile - Dorval, Di Cesare, Vicari, Mazzotta - Maita (from 83. Benali), Maiello (from 83. Molina), Benedetti - Esposito (from 79. Scheidler) - Cheddira, Antenucci (from 61. Botta)
