Test match: FC Südtirol with expected defeat against Genoa

However, the result needs to be put into perspective a bit, as both teams entered the friendly encounter under different conditions: While Genoa has been training in North Tyrol for almost two weeks, Fink and Co. have only completed a handful of joint practice sessions so far. Nevertheless, FC Südtirol initially found their way into the game better in front of around 500 spectators and were unlucky when Sturmtank Gliozzi hit the crossbar. However, the favorite took the lead, taking advantage of his first opportunity through Pavoletti (8th). After a good half hour, Pavoletti could have doubled the lead, but shot wide. The 2-0 was made before the break: After a Veloso corner, Ocampos was there with a header and made things clear - his goal to make it 2-0 was also the score at half-time. In the second half, Genoa came out of the locker room swinging and had several good chances in the opening quarter of an hour. First Gakpé was denied by Coser (53'), then Ocampos found his match against the FCS keeper (56'). Just two minutes later, however, the white and red goalkeeper had to admit defeat a third time: Gakpé dryly finished a pass from Ocampos to make it 3-0. In the last half hour the pace of the game slowed down a bit - also due to the high temperatures and many changes. There were still one or two opportunities, but no more goals were scored on either side.
