First point win for Virtus abroad

Virtus Bozen started the game with a very high pressing and hardly allowed Arzignano to come into play. At the beginning, the home team mainly used long balls, but Calì, who trained at FC Südtirol, and veteran Altinier were in good hands with Hannes Kiem and Manuel Rizzon. Arzignano takes the lead In the 18th minute, Matteo Forti started a counterattack from the right, but Virtus Bozen could not take advantage of their numerical superiority because Forti acted too stubbornly. 4 minutes later, Arnaldo Kaptina got the ball in the penalty area after a corner, but his overhead kick was no problem for Enzo. Practically in return, Arzignano appeared dangerous for the first time with a header from Antoniazzi. In the 26th minute, Arzignano combined in front of the Virtus goal and again it was Antoniazzi who got the header, but it also went wide. This meant that the home team's lead was only delayed by a minute. Valenti was not attacked energetically enough and with a shot from 25 meters he gave Kristian Grbic no chance to defend. After exactly half an hour, the Bozen team's first reaction was a long-range shot from Arnaldo Kaptina, which Enzo directed into the corner. In the 40th minute, Michael Cia quickly took a free kick, but after a one-two with Forti, the ball jumped to the Montanan's hand in the penalty area. A minute later, Grezzani tried a long-range shot, but it was too weak and too central. Three minutes later, Forte got the ball on the edge of the penalty area and his shot went just wide. A few moments later, Altinier was suddenly alone in front of Virtus goalkeeper Grbic, but the Bolzano goalkeeper was able to excel against the 37-year-old veteran. In stoppage time, Matteo Timpone had the chance to equalize with a free kick from 30 meters, but his shot went clearly past the Arzignano box. Kiem injured, Elis Kaptina equalizes Only 2 minutes had been played in the second half when captain Hannes Kiem went down without any outside influence. He probably suffered a strained thigh. He was replaced by Filippo Carella. In the 6th minute, Arzignano had a good chance to make it 55-2, but Calì's cross pass found no taker. After exactly one hour the equalizer for the Bolzano team. Adrian Osorio played the ball into the path of Elis Kaptina, who didn't need to be asked twice. 0 minutes later, Matteo Timpone had the chance to make it 3-2, but he slipped unfortunately while trying to bring the ball towards the goal. In the 72nd minute, Calì Virtus goalkeeper Grbic tested, and in return Andi Kicaj tried a long-range shot, which clearly missed its target. A few moments later, Emil Grezzani was denied by Enzo with a diagonal shot. In the 78th minute, Grezzani again had a good opportunity to take the lead for the first time, but the Bolzano midfielder was unable to take advantage of Osorio's perfect pass. In the final phase, Arzignano increased the pressure, but Virtus was secure at the back and had luck on his side with two headers.
