Final result: Cagliari-Atalanta 0-1
Sherri 6 – Although Atalanta almost constantly occupies the Cagliari area, they don't have to make any big saves. little responsibility for the goal conceded by Zaniolo.
Zappa 6 – As a right-sided centre-back, he contributes to making the Sardinian rearguard extremely tough. A few more offensive initiatives in the second 45 minutes.
Mina 6,5 – He tries as director of the defense, limiting a tough nut like Retegui. He also shows up forward, with some support for his teammates and coming close to equalizing in the final.
Luperto 6 – The former Empoli player plays a careful match, often getting the better of the members of one of the most fearsome advanced units in Italy and beyond.
Lucky 6 – He doesn't appear forward with great continuity but, when he does, he comes close to scoring in the first half. Better, in terms of thrust, after the interval. From 77' Pavoletti sv.
I adopt 6 – One of the former players of the race, who puts all his energy at the service of the team. There is no saving in the non-possession phase.
Macoumbo 5,5 – The mastiff of the Cagliari midfield, who blocks the Dea's central advances on more than one occasion. More in difficulty as the match progresses. From 77' Marin sv.
Deiola 6 – The rossoblù midfielder who, more than anyone else, emerges in the setting phase by serving good balls to the attackers. From the 71st minute Gaetano 5.5 – Not a great match finale, with few ideas from the former Napoli player.
Augello 6 – Rather than pushing into the left lane, he thinks about keeping both Bellanova and – when he shows up in that area – also De Ketelaere on his side. Dal 71' Obert 6 – Good impact on the race, with good finishes at the end.
Form 5.5 – He tries to put the Atalanta defense in difficulty with his speed, but succeeds less than he would like. Out at the start of the second half, hurting after a duel with De Roon. From 53' Happy 5 – He was mocked by Zaniolo on the goal, not having the impact that Nicola asked for, not even on an offensive level.
Small 5.5 – When he is served he is always dangerous, but he has to face a shuttered Carnesecchi who denies him a goal three times in the first half. Practically never dangerous, however, in the second.
Davide Nicola 6 – He makes the league leaders suffer like few other teams in Serie A. He pays for a lack of attention in the second half and a great Carnesecchi.
