Sgarbi finds the fireball, Armellino is a professor

L’Avellino also fold the Benevento (1-0) and puts an almost definitive seal on the race for second place. In an extremely tactical match, the Wolves found the spark at the end thanks to a fireball by Sgarbi. Below are the report cards of the players fielded by Patience.

Avellino, the report cards

• Ghidotti 6.5: precise and punctual in his interventions, he does not make a mistake in his reading and thus facilitates the task of his companions. All this while bringing home another clean sheet, with the consequent confidence that comes with it.
• Cancellotti 5.5: still deployed in the role of defensive arm on the centre-right, the former Pescara player appears less solid than his teammates. Booked midway through the second half for a foul on Starita.
• Cionek 6.5: still preferred in Rigione, the Polish central defender becomes dangerous in the first half with an interesting header returned by Paleari. His performance is also solid in marking.
• Frascatore 6.5: effective, like Cionek, in the marking phase, he confirms himself as an element of great consistency for the green and white team.
• Llano 5.5: preferred from the 1st minute to Ricciardi, the Argentine winger struggles to guarantee the right contribution – in terms of quality – in the last thirty meters of the pitch (21′ st Sgarbi 7: burned by the exclusion, after his entry he literally does everything he can to make an impact. First he tries to inspire Gori and Ricciardi, then he decides to strike out on his own, knocking down the Giallorossi goal with a shot from distance. Sgarbi is back: and there couldn’t have been better news for the wolf).
• De Cristofaro 6.5: he has more pace in his legs than Rocca and he shows it by continuing to clock up kilometers even in the second half. He is not always clear in his decisions with the ball at his feet, but on an evening with such tight tactics his inexhaustibility proves to be a particularly valuable skill.
• Armellino 6.5: he has this type of match in his blood and he shows it with a very good approach. In the first 20′ he takes the license to raise the technical quality of the wolf with a couple of openings worthy of a very pure director; in the second half she mainly resorts to his competitive spirit, proving equally effective.
• Rock 5.5: the former Catania midfielder starts well, instilling his usual rhythm in the middle of the pitch. In the second half he drops and after more than an hour of play Pazienza therefore decides to call him back to the bench to try to shuffle the cards (21′ st Ricciardi 5.5: little bad about the great invitation sent to him by Sgarbi, where he should have unlocked the match)
• Liotti 5.5: he has the qualities – and in the first 45′ also the space – to try to do badly, but he rarely manages to impact the left-footed out. Protagonist despite himself at the end of the first half, when he was overwhelmed by Simonetti (30′ st Tito 6.5: leaves his mark with the assist for Sgarbi and with a great defensive diagonal in closing. It is essential for the wolf to rediscover the charisma and quality of the captain)
• Gori 6: his game is contained in three flashes which, for one reason or another, do not see him leave his mark. In the first half he was stopped with a slight hold by Pastina, who unbalanced him and prevented him from finding the shot a few steps from the goal; in the second half he first sees the door closed by Paleari and then blocked again by Pastina. However, his generosity is there and he must be rewarded (42′ st Dall’Oglio sv: a few minutes in the final for the former Palermo midfielder).
• Patierno 6: the attitude is, as usual, the right one, as is also recognized by the enthusiasm of the public. Compared to the recent past, however, this time the green and white bomber does not have the right opportunity to put his excellent killer instinct to the test. A real shame, considering his state of form (42′ st Marconi sv: number 31 lends a hand to his team at the end of the match).
