Clinical Mantova sweep past FC Südtirol with 3–0 away win in Serie B
Mantova 1911 SSD produced a composed away performance to defeat FC Südtirol 3–0 on matchday 36 of the Serie B regular season, tightening their grip on a strong league position late in the campaign.
The visitors seized control before half-time with a decisive double. In the 35th minute, Simone Trimboli opened the scoring, finishing off a move set up by Fahem Benaïssa-Yahia to make it 1–0 to Mantova. Just six minutes later, Mantova doubled their lead when Tommaso Marras struck in the 41st minute, assisted by Alessio Castellini, leaving Südtirol with a mountain to climb.
FC Südtirol’s frustration was reflected in discipline, as Andrea Masiello picked up a yellow card in the same 41st minute. At the interval, the hosts reacted with a double substitution, introducing Silvio Merkaj and Emanuele Pecorino, but they were unable to break down a solid Mantova side.
The home team continued to shuffle their pack on 56 minutes, bringing on Hamza El Kaouakibi and Marco Frigerio, and later Domen Črnigoj in the 72nd minute. Merkaj also went into the book on 70 minutes as Südtirol chased the game.
Mantova managed the second half well and freshened their attack through a series of substitutions, including the introductions of César Falletti, Nicolò Radaelli, Flavio Paoletti, David Wieser and Nicolò Buso. The changes paid off when Wieser added a third goal in the 83rd minute, sealing the 3–0 scoreline. The forward was later booked in the 84th minute, the only caution for the away side.
The result underlines Mantova’s sharpness in front of goal and leaves Südtirol with work to do as the Serie B season heads into its final rounds. More detailed statistics and events beyond goals, cards and substitutions were not available in the match data.
