Final result: Genoa-Cagliari 3-0
GENOA
Martinez 6 – He always chooses the timing of his exit well, thwarting crosses coming from the back. Always start the ball on the ground action.
Vogliacco 6.5 – He started very well showing himself in the Cagliari penalty area. He gets the first chance of the match with a header that ends up at the bottom.
DeWinter 6.5 – He is gaining more and more confidence in the center of defense. Orderly match despite an initial blast from Shomurodov. A more than calm performance from him.
Vasquez 7 – He doesn’t make any mistakes in his area, dangerous as always when he breaks free and projects himself into the opposing midfield. He sees Frendrup on the radar in the center of the area in the action that leads to 2-0. From 74′ Citizens sv
Sabelli 7 – A splinter on the right wing and this is nothing new. He presents himself to the cross with consistency and from one of these he paints a rainbow which Thorsby turns into a goal. From 65′ Spence 6 – Enter with the right attitude when the result is widely achieved.
Frendrup 7.5 – Lungs and beyond. The Danish midfielder is everywhere and this time he also proves to be a sniper in the opponent’s area, making it 2-0.
Badelj 7 – Lead the team as a true leader. He runs the ball with quality. He sees the inclusion of Vasquez in the action that leads to Genoa’s double. From 74′ Bohinen sv
Thorsby 7.5 – Gilardino deploys him from the first minute to give weight and centimeters in the middle of the pitch. It took him less than 20 minutes to repay the coach’s trust by heading the ball and scoring the 1-0.
Martin 7 – His left foot produces treacherous crosses like the one to Vogliacco’s head in the first half. He pushes often and is confident in defense. From 65′ Haps 6 – Safe in the left lane, race a section without any kind of problem.
Gudmundsson 7.5 – Impregnable for Cagliari’s rearguard. He scores the safety goal by taking advantage of a mistake from the rearguard of Claudio Ranieri’s team.
Retegui 6.5 – He always shows up in attack by playing on the bench for his teammates. Unlucky when he receives from Thorsby and finishes on the outside of the net.
Alberto Gilardino 7.5 – Praised once again by his people who would still like him on the bench for next season. His Genoa dominates and wins three important points to end the season in the best possible way.
CAGLIARI (edited by Marco Pieracci)
Scuffet 6 – He concedes two goals in the first shots aimed at the goal, with little to complain about on the third. He denies Thorsby a brace.
Hatzidiakos 5 – Several hesitations, especially in marking: Thorsby jumps into his head. He looks for redemption on set pieces, before going out. From 46′ Hoe 5.5 – It is only seen in the final lines.
Wieteska 5.5 – In the absence of the Mina totem, he is called upon to lead an unprecedented defensive trio: a responsibility that turns out to be greater than him.
Obert 5 – Retegui works on his hips to keep him away from the penalty area, on Genoa’s second goal he goes up late keeping Vasquez in play. Then he messes up by giving Gudmundsson a hat trick.
Di Pardo 5 – Uncertain when he tries to break forward, distracted in coverage: the opposition is too soft at 2-0. Out after a while. From 46′ Nandez 6 – Last to give up, if nothing else he fights.
Deiola 5.5 – Few ideas, however clouded by Genoa’s all-out pressure. He struggles to tune into the intense pace imposed by his opponents.
Meadows 6 – Try to put some order in the middle, where chaos reigns. Among the least worst of a complicated evening, she retains a modicum of clarity.
Augello 5.5 – Some interesting runs, accompanied by crosses that arrived at their destination, but Sabelli did what he wanted on that flank. From 85′ Kingstone sv
Oristanio 5 – Searched vertically, he repeatedly sprints to extend the team but does nothing good. Lots of smoke, little fire. From 46′ Lapadula 5.5 – He attacks the depth, without receiving playable balls.
Gaetano 5.5 – He starts from the attacking midfield, varying a lot: he even disguises himself as a centre-forward but never challenges Martinez. Bypassed by Frendrup.
Shomurodov 5 – Three goals in the last six, he is the hottest rossoblù striker at the moment. The Genoa defense caged him without difficulty. From 73′ Azzi 5.5 – Dangerous after a few seconds, he doesn’t find the door.
Claudio Ranieri 5 – Between injuries and suspensions, six changes compared to the comeback draw with Juventus, but the match soon becomes a monologue in which a bad Cagliari plays the part of sparring partner. He switches to a back four, but this time he is unable to make the move on the run.
