Liberty and Faetano played out a 1-1 draw in the fourth round of Italy's Serie C championship on Friday evening. The result leaves the San Marino sides separated in the table, with Liberty still sitting above Faetano despite both teams earning a point.
G. Elia gave Liberty the advantage in the twenty-fourth minute, giving the home side what looked like a comfortable lead. The goal came from sustained pressure, and Liberty were happy to take the initiative early in the contest.
Faetano finally struck back through A. Christians in the seventy-fourth minute. The away side had been outplayed for large spells but managed to find an equaliser when it mattered. By then, Liberty had been chasing the game.
The statistics tell a story of one-sided dominance. Liberty registered 92 attacks compared to Faetano's 36, and held 66 per cent possession. Yet the final tally reveals poor finishing — Liberty managed only one shot on target from twenty-two attempts off target, while Faetano could muster just one on target from seven misses.
Liberty remain seventh with five points from four games, while Faetano sit fourteenth on two points. The draw extends Liberty's unbeaten run to three matches, though it also halts their momentum after back-to-back defeats. Faetano's away form remains poor, having lost three of their last four matches on the road.
