Final result: Modena-Pisa 1-0
MODENA
Gagno 6 – He does something wrong with his feet, Caracciolo's shot from sidereal distance is the only intervention between the posts. It's safe when going out.
Dellavalle 6.5 – In the summer he could end up on the other side of the barricade, testing the stability of the pole with a terrifying blow.
Zara 6 – He leads the yellow-blue department as a leader, even allowing himself a few forays into the Pisan area. Not always clean when dribbling.
Cause 6 – Positional defense, cuts supplies in the central area with good timing. And it doesn't draw the release.
Magnino 6,5 – Confirmed on the right to limit Angori's push, in reality he is everywhere to stop initiatives.
Gerli 7 – He protects the defense properly and tries to verticalize as soon as he can: this is how Caso's blitz was born. Then he saves a goal off the line. From 83' Di Pardo sv
Santoro 6,5 – Immediately hit hard, it makes us fear the worst but it is a false alarm. Once he gets up he wages war on every single ball.
Total 6.5 – He doesn't pay for the physical mismatch with Tourè, in fact he is the one who forces the German onto the defensive: Rus blocks him at the last minute. From 76' Idrissi 5.5 – He devours the match point.
Palumbo 6.5 – Serie A is knocking on the door, but for this Modena is essential: quality in the attacking midfield, playing one, maximum two touches.
Case 7 – In doubt until the end, when he changes pace he is uncatchable for everyone. On goal he looks like a giant: he dwarfs Touré. From 76' Battistella 6.5 – Immediate impact.
Mendes 6,5 – The derby man starts off slyly, in the absence of playable balls he moves with the lights off, opening inviting spaces for his teammates. From 76' Gliozzi 6 – Intelligent movements, see the veil for Idrissi.
Paolo Mandelli 7 – The victory in the derby was not the result of chance, with his arrival on the bench he reinvigorated a team in constant growth.
PISA
Semper 5,5 – On Dellavalle's stone the wood extends a hand to him, Caso mocks him on his post: perhaps he could have covered him a little better.
Rus 5,5 – He makes Canestrelli sit on the bench, he suffers when he is targeted at speed: he knocks out Cotali thrown at the net, then sacrifices himself. From 46' Canestrelli 5.5 – Saved for a half, he could score with a header but Gerli denies him the goal on the goal line.
Caracciolo 5.5 – Effortless in exiting the defense with the ball at his feet, he does not hesitate to launch himself forward. Loses contact with the goal line.
G. Bonfanti 5.5 – Very involved in the construction, elegant in the management but is surprised together with the rest of the rearguard. From 71' Arena 5,5 – It moves a lot, without leaving its mark.
Touré 5 – He cuts the field, in an attempt to impose his exuberance on Cotali: generous even if not always precise in his finishing. Opposition to Caso was soft.
Marin 6 – Mature management of play situations, he understands the moments of the match, deciding when to slow down or speed up the action.
Piccinini 6 – Under constant pressure, seeing him stop for a moment is impossible: he throws himself into spaces but can't find the winning insertion. From 83' Vignato sv
Anchor 6 – Promising start, along the lines of his latest outings: he finds the back of the net with ease but remains in the locker room due to a yellow card. From 46' Beruatto 5,5 – Having slipped down the ranks due to Angori's exploits, he does not make proper use of the freedom granted to him.
Moreo 5,5 – Having scored on two consecutive days, he fails to achieve a hat trick. He plays the usual game of quick shots, but he doesn't have an impact up front.
Tramoni 5.5 – Wide to the left, where he knows how to best express himself: from there he tries to sew up the game as an offensive director but lacks the inspiration.
N. Bonfanti 5 – He returns as the starter, but as a great ex he plays the part of the extra: served little and poorly, he leaves disconsolate. Missed opportunity. From 57' Lind 5,5 – Out initially because not at his best, he doesn't move the inertia.
Filippo Inzaghi 5.5 – He goes to take Modena high, aware of the risks. The maneuver on the wings does not prove to be as effective as usual.
