“Fabio Rispoli breaks the deadlock right on the stroke of halftime, finishing off a Salvatore Molina assist after a spell of Südtirol corners.”
Pivotal“Vasco Lopes, already booked twice, drives the knife in further with a well-taken second goal from Aljosa Vasic's assist, doubling Südtirol's lead early in the second half.”
Pivotal“After Arezzo hit the post and missed a clear chance in the same passage, Kenny Mixtur punishes them by converting Lopes' assist to make it 3-0.”
Pivotal“Fresh off the bench, substitutes combine as Andrea Giorgini heads home Fabio Rispoli's assist to make it 4-0 and effectively end the contest.”
“Leonardo Mancuso grabs a late consolation for Arezzo off Alessandro Arena's assist, but it does nothing to change the outcome.”
Outstanding performance

Südtirol were patient before halftime, riding out a feisty, foul-strewn opening before Fabio Rispoli's stoppage-time strike gave them a lead their control of the ball - 59% possession and 552 passes at 91% accuracy - fully justified. The floodgates opened after the break as Vasco Lopes struck within minutes of the restart, and Kenny Mixtur added a third from a rapid sequence of chances, with Arezzo's keeper beaten three times in the space of 34 minutes. Andrea Giorgini's header off a corner made it four before Leonardo Mancuso's late consolation gave the scoreline a veneer of respectability that the home side's display, marked by only 10 shots and 3 on target, didn't really earn. For Arezzo this is a damaging defeat that drags their form into question, while Südtirol's ruthless second-half efficiency - four goals from just a handful of created chances - will fuel confidence heading into their next fixtures.
