TIM Cup: FC Südtirol is eliminated against B league team Pescara

FC Südtirol qualified for the second round of the Tim Cup last week with a 1-0 away win in Matera. Mister Stroppa's team met Pescara, the coach's former club, here today. Stroppa moved directly from FC Südtirol to Pescara in 2012. Today he had to make do without the suspended Lima and the injured Gliozzi and Melchiori. The Chilean Crovetto was finally used for this. The defense remained unchanged from the successful Matera game, with Tait and Bassoli at full-back and the Mladen-Tagliani duo in the centre. In midfield, Bertoni returned to his position as playmaker, supported by Furlan and Girasole. Maritato and Kirilov played in the attack.

Pescara took the lead in the 16th minute Today Pescara was the dominant team from the start, while the white and reds had to retreat into their half. The home team took the lead in the 16th minute. Lapadula fueled his way into the penalty area, but missed just in front of Miori. Valoti used the rebound into the empty goal to make it 1-0. The White Reds responded four minutes later with a counterattack, which first Maritato and then Furlan were unable to take advantage of. In the 25th minute, Vukusic played Valoti free in the penalty area, but the shot was too weak. So after 45 minutes Pescara remained in a narrow 1-0 lead. After the half-time break, the hosts looked for a quick decision. First Valoti only hit the crossbar, then in the 51st minute, Vukusic played to Torreira, who safely scored to make it 2-0. Pescara then shifted down a gear and the FCS had two good chances. In the 70th minute, Furlan put goalkeeper Fiorillo in big trouble with his header, while eight minutes before the end of the game, goalkeeper Fiorillo made a brilliant save to block a free kick from Mladen. That's how it stayed with Pescara's 2-0 win,
