Final result: Roma-Sampdoria 4-1
Vismara 6 – Blameless on Dovbyk’s winning turn, as well as on the tap-in of the Ukrainian center forward who denied the hat-trick. Baldanzi puts it in his corner.
Came 5.5 – He starts as a full-back, then is diverted to center back to try to strengthen the banks: Shomurodov scores goals in his face.
Meulensteen 4.5 – He struggles to read Dovbyk’s movements, who slips between him and Vulikic. Nasty mess on the Giallorossi’s doubling.
Vulikic 5 – Baldanzi’s feint immediately sends him into overdrive, a sinister omen: things aren’t much better afterwards. He can’t shorten.
Veroli 5 – Saelemaekers’ dynamism puts him in great difficulty: he succumbs in the duel, leaving him too much freedom at the moment of the cross. From 46′ Ioannou 6 – Celik’s run equalizes.
Vieira 6 – Captain for the occasion, at least try to give some aggression and vigor to the midfielder to hinder Roma’s dribbling. From 64′ Benedetti 6 – Good step.
Yepes 6.5 – The ball at his feet seems to be hot, he gives a gift not discarded by Roma but the redemption is around the corner: a goal from an attacker.
Akinsanmiro 5.5 – He receives little collaboration from his teammates, the stride is notable but does not go hand in hand with the precision of control. From 78′ Bellemo sv
Borini 5 – In the first half the attacking wing never sees it, moving into the middle you don’t notice any big differences. Bitter evening as an ex.
Leonardi 5 – Fresh from signing a five-year contract, the future is on his side but for certain matches he still seems a little light. From 68′ Sekulov 5.5 – Frantic in finishing.
Pedrola 5 – Potential expressed in small doses, when he moves the ball and changes pace. He only does it once, he stays in the locker room. From 46′ Depaoli 6.5 – He enters with great conviction, raises the pressure and sends the cross to Yepes.
Leonardo Semplici 5.5 – It revolutionizes everything compared to the derby by sending a clear signal: the priority is not the cup, but the championship. Legitimate choice, the category difference is there and it shows.
