Final result: Venice-Cagliari 2-1
VENEZIA
Stankovic 7.5 – It's difficult to see a header save, he's good at being in the right place and saving Venezia as best he can from Mina's header. He is decisive twice on Lapadula from close range, then he also raises the shutter on Felici. Could he have come out on Pavoletti's goal? Maybe, but in the face of 3 miracles, it's a trivial matter.
Altar 7 – He wasn't afraid of facing the storm of the match against Como in summer clothes, let alone a simple cold evening. And on the pitch he is as tough as his appearance would suggest: he doesn't concede an inch. The diagonal with which he covers Lapadula in the final is worth a goal and he celebrates accordingly.
Idzes 6 –Missing Svoboda? No problem. Above all, he was called to be the leader of the department, he transmits confidence to his teammates and closes everything. Half a vote less because Pavoletti gets in his head and reopens the match, but Stankovic doesn't give him a hand.
Sverko 7 – Maradonian goal, with a lot less technique and grace and a lot more determination. It is the reward for an attentive performance of character.
Zampano 7 – Zampano express: up and down, providing repeated crosses and breathing on Augello's neck with each descent. In the end he concedes the cross that reopens the game, but the performance is total.
Andersen 6,5 – Quality and reasoning in power: the couple with Nicolussi Caviglia goes, even if in the first half the guests don't think much. (Dal 70' Crnigos 6 – He comes in to fight, he does it on his 101st appearance with the usual determination)
Nicolussi Ankle 6.5 – The beginning is in crescendo: he is caught in the middle and when he shows up he isn't quick enough to think. However, Venezia progressively takes the field and does so under the control of him who grows more and more in personality.
Ellertsson 7 – Definition of ductility: he is the one who comes forward for every action, with punctual insertion times, he is always the one who goes out of his way to help the defense, like when he makes a 40 meter diagonal to save everything at 0-0 .
Oristanio 7 – And who stops him, Gaetano Oristanio? He shows his former team that they were wrong for not believing in him. And he deserved that goal taken away due to a millimetric offside (by Pohjanpalo). (Dall'84' Yeboah st)
Busio 6.5 – He activates the radar and doesn't miss a ball, but above all he increasingly discovers that he is a player who, even when he needs to chase and cover the field, does it which is a pleasure. (Dal 90' Schingtienne sv)
Pojhanpalo 6.5 – Intelligent and generous performance, at the complete service of the team. He doesn't miss a bank or a support. (Dall'84' Gytkjaer st)
Coach Eusebio Di Francesco 7.5 – The strength of work. This victory is the demonstration of what has been said for some time: that with a little malice and also with the ability to suffer, different things could be said about this Venice for some time. Dirtier performance than usual also thanks to Cagliari, he has the merit of transmitting calm to his team after the storm of the crisis period. 5 points in the last 3, it's going to be a nice Christmas.
