Final result: Cagliari-Atalanta 0-1
Carnesecchi 7.5 – A real wall, which kept his team afloat in the first half with four great saves. He completed his crazy performance with a couple of decisive interventions in the second half too.
Kossounou 6.5 – Very attentive in the defensive phase, he doesn’t have to wait when there is the possibility of breaking forward.
He 6 – He has the task of containing Piccoli, in a duel in which he emerges victorious with mixed success. He didn’t return after the break, having suffered a problem at the end of the first half. Dal 46′ Djimsiti 6 – Enough proof for the central defender, who enters the field with the right attention.
Kolasinac 6,5 – Sometimes he imitates his teammate Kossounou in terms of offensive attacks, although less frequently. Almost unbeatable when aimed in the area.
Bellanova 6.5 – He pushes a little to the right in the first part, having difficulty against an Augello who is always on point. He grows in the second, providing Zaniolo with an assist to make it 0-1.
Ederson 6 – As per practice, it is in every area of the pitch. One of the best in a rather gray first half of the game for the Goddess, he maintained good levels as the match wore on.
Pasalic 5.5 – Rather in the shadows, mostly in terms of accompanying the offensive action. More advanced with the exit of Brescianini, he missed two excellent opportunities. Dal 64′ Samardzic 6.5 – Successful substitution by Gasperini, he starts the maneuver that leads to the goal that decides the match.
Ruggeri 6 – Not a great match in terms of galloping on the wing, while on a defensive level he is very diligent and overall deserves a pass.
Brescianini 5 – The former Frosinone player had a chance from the 1st minute, but was barely involved in the move and had a tough time against the Sardinian trio in midfield. Valley 46′ De Roon 6 – He enters and is immediately warned, but that doesn’t stop him from giving everything until the end and from not sparing himself in his interventions.
De Ketelaere 6 – Down compared to the last few outings, he moves mainly on the right sector without however emerging with noteworthy plays in the final metres. A little better in the first part of the second half. From 64′ Zaniolo 7 – The deus ex machina of the Goddess, who enters and scores the 3-point goal. He could have handled a late counterattack better.
Retegui 5 – He would like to make up for the late mistake against Real Madrid, but his performance is anonymous, especially thanks to an excellent Mina. Gasp doesn’t give him the second half. From 46′ Lookman 6 – Something more than the companion he detects, but not a recovery in line with his best standards.
Gian Piero Gasperini 7 – Victory for a great team and it’s not the first this season. His Goddess suffers in the first half, then grows in the second thanks above all to his substitutions and brings home 3 very important points.
