Lecce-Lazio: all the emotions of the match

Lecce's top and flop

TOP

• Tete Dying 7 – He wakes up Lecce with a right-footed volley to Pogba. A masterpiece that warms up the stadium despite the winter cold.
• Falcone 6.5 – His signature is always essential to keep the result afloat: he hypnotizes Isaksen and is reactive on all shots from outside.
• Berisha 6.5 – On the pitch he seems to double himself and allows Lecce not to suffer the man less. He never gets tired, he looks like a cyborg.

FLOP

• Krstovic 5 – He gets lost between the walls of Romagnoli and Gila and is unable to escape the labyrinth.
• Guilbert 4.5 – He identifies himself with Suarez at the 2010 World Cup and saves the ball with his hands to avoid the goal. The Gunslinger, however, did it at the last moment, he did it at the end of the first half. The difference between a hero and another…

Top and flop for Lazio

TOP

• Marusic 7.5 – He comes in and does the most important thing: the three-point goal.
• Castellanos 7 – He depicts football with signature plays, then from the spot he shows his usual coolness.
• Rovella 6.5 – He runs so much that even the odometer explodes. And he does it with the usual quality.

FLOP

• Travel 5.5 – Messy and harmless, it is not the one at the beginning of the season and suffers between the lines.
• Nuno Tavares 5 – He is the big absentee of the match: dangers often arise from his outbursts, but he too suffers from the new highway code.
