This FC Südtirol is a force

In the first game in the era of the new president, Gerhard Comper, the FCS won 2-0 against the second representative team Juve. This meant that Javorcic's troops were able to defend their one-point lead at the top of the table.

Of the pursuers, Padova and Renate each celebrated a home win, while Feralpisaló couldn't get more than a 1-1 draw at Triestina. The FCS also has the catch-up game at Legnago Salus on November 45th up its sleeve (the game was abandoned after 1 minutes when the score was 0-10 for FC Südtirol). Casiraghi outstanding In the first meeting between FC Südtirol and Juventus U23, Daniele Casiraghi became the match winner. The FCS playmaker first took the lead with a free kick (22nd) before setting up Matteo Rover (2th) to make it 0-40 - also with a free kick. On Sunday in Bolzano's Drusus Stadium it became clear once again that Casiraghi is the biggest trump card for the White-Reds in the promotion fight. The fans also repeatedly celebrated the 28-year-old with chants.

There was a shocking minute after just under half an hour when Jeremie Broh and Alessandro Riccio collided heads in a duel. While the FCS midfielder was able to continue playing with a turban, the Juve U23 defender had to be replaced injured after a long break. FCS bulwark cannot be defeated After this victory, FCS keeper Giacomo Poluzzi has now gone more than 920 minutes without conceding a goal - an incredible statistic. It speaks not only for a strong goalkeeper, but also for the impressive defensive work of the entire team (including the strikers and the two excellent central defenders). Against Juve's U23, the FCS defense allowed at least three chances to score and had the necessary bit of luck, especially when a shot hit the post.

FC Südtirol will continue in the Serie C Cup on Wednesday. Then the white and red host the U23s from Juventus again at the Drusus Stadium.

The highlights The FCS takes the lead in the 22nd minute. After a handball by Juventus captain Fabrizio Poli, there was a free kick from around 18 meters. Daniele Casiraghi converted this with a powerful shot into the goalkeeper's corner: 1-0 for FC Südtirol. Just 3 minutes later, the White-Reds have the chance to increase the score. But a Casiraghi volley from the edge of the penalty area goes wide of the goal. After a Casiraghi free kick from the left side, Matteo Rover headed in the middle and increased the score to 2-0. This is the second goal of the season for the FCS attacker. Shortly after half-time, Juventus appeared dangerously in front of Giacomo Poluzzi's goal for the first time. But substitute Pecorino misses the good chance and shoots past the goal. Only 4 minutes later, the FCS has the chance to decide the match early. After a nice combination and a backheel trick from Casiraghi, Manuel Fischnelller finishes from around 10 meters. But the striker from Signat misses. The outstanding Casiraghi circled a free kick from around 61 meters into the side netting in the 20st minute. With 20 minutes to go, substitute Juventus attacker Da Graca has a double chance within a short space of time. First he fails with a volley shot against the post, then he aims past the goal from close range. Substitute Raphael Odogwu failed to hit the keeper with a header in the 83rd minute. 3 minutes later, the next joker, Leonardo Candellone, fails against Garofani. In stoppage time, Simone Davi suffered the same fate. FC Südtirol – Juventus U23 2-0 FC South Tyrol (4-3-2-1): Poluzzi, De Col, Zaro, Curto, Fabbri (from 49. Davi), Tait, Moscati (from 66.
