Final result: Monza-Lazio 2-2
Di Gregorio – In the goal action he deflected Kamada’s shot onto the crossbar, but then could do little on Immobile’s rebound. Little responsibility also for Vecino’s 1-2.
Birindelli 6 – Good push on the right, which guarantees as long as he remains on the pitch. From 71′ Donated 5 – He does and undoes after his entrance, propitiating the 1-1 and then giving the ball to Vecino for Lazio’s new lead.
Mari 6 – Less prominent perhaps than Izzo, but still effective on a defensive level. He also comes close to scoring in the final.
Izzo 6.5 – The former Torino centre-back is very energetic in his blocking, with which he limits Lazio’s offensive potential.
Kyriakopoulos 6 – Fairly in the shade in the two phases. He improves especially in the push phase after the break. From 71′ Mota 6 – He brings new energy to the Monza attack, in view of a final in which the Brianza team manage to snatch a draw.
Pessina 7 – The Monza captain commands respect in the middle of the pitch, but even more so when he rises a few metres. His header leads to Djuric’s 1-1 and he is also the cross for the 2-2 signed by the former Verona striker.
Bondo 6 – In addition to snarling at opposing ball carriers, he also shows up going forward. In the first half he wasted the possible 1-1 with his head. From 87′ Caprari sv.
Colpani 6.5 – On the right front of the attack he creates more than a headache for the Biancoceleste defense. Among the best in Palladino’s lineup.
V. Carboni 6.5 – His contribution in the final meters grows as the minutes pass. He comes close to equalizing with his head and serves his teammates with the laps counted. From 71′ Akpa Akpro 5.5 – Not a great finish to the match, it enters into the action of the second goal for the Biancoceleste in a negative way.
Zerbin 6 – The most overshadowed of the trio behind Djuric during the first half. In the second, however, his work in the non-possession phase is to be appreciated. From 78′ Caldirola sv.
Djuric 7.5 – The battering ram that Monza needs, who dominates more and more as the minutes pass. The great protagonist of the second half, with two goals that gave 1 deserved point.
Raffaele Palladino 6.5 – Despite the salvation already archived some time ago, his team played a vigorous match until the end and deservedly reached a 2-2 draw.
