South Tyrolean draw kings also let Palermo down

FC Südtirol cannot be bent at the moment. The Bisoli team drew 1-1 with ambitious co-promoters and former European Cup participants from Palermo. It is the third draw in a row and the eighth in the 14th home game - no other team in Serie B has shared the points more often.

The result of another draw? The points hoarders from South Tyrol slipped from fourth to fifth place in the table, but are still firmly in the playoff zone.

A premiere goal with a lot of punch In the north-south duel, the meeting with the greatest geographical distance in the league (Bolzano and Palermo are 1500 km apart), FC Südtirol was clearly the better team in the first half. This was also due to the fact that 19-year-old winter signing Moustapha Cissè got the FCS on track early with his powerful opening goal in the 5th minute and had the Drusus Stadium, which was sold out for the third time this season, boiling over. It is the first Serie B goal ever for the Atalanta loanee.

Afterwards, the more than 1100 visiting fans frenetically pushed the tenth-placed team forward, but nothing more than the equalizer immediately after the break could be achieved against the tightly staggered defense of the white-reds. Bisoli's team, for their part, were satisfied with one point. The key scenes On your marks, get set, go Many spectators haven't even taken their seats yet, and the FCS is already leading 1-0! After a header from Odogwu, Cissè shoots with full force from an acute angle and the ball hits below the crossbar (5th). Palermo reacts Six minutes after Cissè's opening goal, the guests missed out on making it 1-1. Di Mariano's long-range shot is deflected by Poluzzi for a corner. Odogwu again and again Palermo cannot get the 1,90 meter colossus in the white-red attack under control. After a counterattack, he asserts himself powerfully, moves into the middle and fires at the guest keeper Piagiacelli. He just manages to get his arms up and defends (18th). Bad luck with injuries Palermo had to replace two defensive players due to injuries in the first half: 1,5 million new signing Graves had to go down after 10 minutes, Sala after half an hour. At the break, coach Corini changes two more players. The Joker stings One of Corini's substitutes promptly struck after the restart, namely striker Soleri. After a corner was deflected several times, Zaro left him completely alone in the penalty area and headed it to make it 1-1 (48'). Yay As the second half continued and Carretta, Siega, Berra, De Col and Larrivey were substituted, the FCS had more control of the game again, but were no longer able to get dangerously in front of the goal. The same applies to Palermo. In the end both teams were satisfied with the draw. Things continue for FC Südtirol next Wednesday (from 20.30:XNUMX p.m. in SportNews -Ticker) away against Benevento. Then Poluzzi, Tait & Co. will try to score points in the eighth game of the second half of the season.
