Pivotal
Südtirol
Catanzaro
Catanzaro dominated the game by almost every metric - more possession, more shots, more dangerous attacks, and better pass accuracy - but had nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. Südtirol sat compact for long stretches, absorbing pressure with 18 tackles to Catanzaro's 12, and waited for their moment. That patience paid off in spectacular fashion late on, with substitutes Rareș Burnete and Kenny Mixtur combining to score twice in the final four minutes after a flurry of second-half changes reshaped the game. For Südtirol, this is a statement result that belies the underlying performance, a classic smash-and-grab that will do wonders for confidence given their position in the table. Catanzaro, meanwhile, will be left frustrated at wasting a dominant display, their inability to convert control into goals proving costly against a side willing to ride their luck.
