Final result: Cosenza-Spezia 2-2
COSENZA
Micai 6.5 – He regains ownership after the disqualification to take on the role of superman. First he takes off on Salvatore Esposito’s sudden left foot, then plays with Verde’s tension at the moment of the penalty kick which he senses and miraculously saves. He also invented the save on Pio Esposito before the equalizer. Prodigious then on Di Serio. He lays down his weapons on Elia’s fabulous goal.
Meroni 5.5 – For a moment he savored the goal from a gore, if it hadn’t been for Zoet. What was he about to do with that short clearance for Vignali at the end.
Camporese 5.5 – We could have saved that wide arm that gave Spezia a penalty, luckily for him Micai is there.
Venturi 6 – He never loses sight of Pio Esposito, but he has to pay more attention to his choices in his approach. From 63′ Fontanarosa 5.5 – He enters with bated breath, enters late and gets a yellow card. In the long run he finds the right measures.
Marras 6.5 – It automatically follows the offensive action like a motor tow. He’s beating himself up over that left-footed player who goes just wide, in the second half that save on the line is worth as much as a goal. Providential.
Zuccon 6 – New chance for the class of 2003 starting from the beginning. He doesn’t get carried away by the tense spirits of the match, all in all an elementary and acceptable match.
Viviani 5.5 – Only 290 minutes in the cadets this year and it shows. Slow and predictable, in the second half he ends up being replaced. From the 63rd minute Voca 6 – He slams into the middle of the field to cover the gaps in the middle of the field.
Antonucci 6.5 – More watchdog than conductor. Sometimes he wastes too much time with the ball and loses it, triggering dangerous counterattacks. But when he draws the delicate right foot he gets the assist to make it 2-1. From 76′ A. Florenzi 6 – There is little to judge in the final minutes of turmoil.
D’Orazio 6 – Less flashy than his other teammates, he gradually raises his game and makes a couple of interesting crosses on his way to scoring.
Mazzocchi 5.5 – Tailor of the offensive game together with the attacking partner, but not in a lasting way. A shout from distance and little else in the second half, where he gradually evaporates. From 76′ Forte 6 – He shows up forward, but has little time to enter the match.
Onesie 8 – A feast for the eyes. First the priceless pearl on a free kick, then the prized heel on the fly. Double and 19 goals in total in the championship. By far the best of Cosenza, he enjoys the ovation at the substitution. From 88′ Canotto sv
William Avenues 6 – He wanted to win it, to hit the big target of the playoffs. But Elijah’s hat-hatted rabbit ruined the plans and the dream fades in an instant. A bitter pill that he must swallow, inevitably.
SPICE
Zoet 6.5 – He can only remain speechless at Tutino’s masterpiece. Reactive on Meroni’s header, he anticipates D’Orazio in a big way in the second half.
Mateju 5 – In trouble most of the time, Tutino is his kryptonite. From 46′ Vignali 5 – Aggressive and tall to stop any danger from his side. The goal of three points and salvation is devoured in one bite, and the one achieved by VAR is seen cancelled.
Hristov 5.5 – He dances a little behind, it’s a real shame that header ended up on the outside of the net.
Nikolaou 5.5 – Too foul and cumbersome at the start of the match, he often takes refuge in the throw-in to catch his breath. But from a corner he is a constant threat.
Bandinelli 6 – Very scholastic, perhaps too much so. Yet it is from his conclusion that the possible penalty of the equalizer comes. From 62′ Bertola 6.5 – New lifeblood in the middle of the field.
Nagy 5.5 – Mr. irreplaceable for coach D’Angelo. He uses his body to create space and regain possession of a series of precious balls. Too bad it completely loses the marking on Tutino.
S. Esposito 6.5 – A lot of frustration due to the initial empty turns, then he straightens his head and with his magic left foot he comes one step away from scoring the equaliser. Personality galore on every free kick, he creates the key pass for Vignali’s goal of illusion.
Green 5 – The missed penalty could have been an unbearable boulder to bear on the shoulders. At least from his strike from the flag the equalizer was born, but the weight of the match in terms of salvation is damnably felt. From 85′ Falcinelli sv
Reca 6 – At a deficit in the defensive phases, he gets a heavy yellow for bringing down Marras. He doesn’t care, as an added attacker in the rush of corner kicks he is a perpetual danger. He hadn’t started since November 12th but the equalizer was all his. And in the second half he even came close to scoring a double. From 62′ Elia 7.5 – He pulls a movie library goal out of his hat. Control, dribbling and volleying like an absolute magician. He takes his hat off.
Di Serio 6 – Two sides of a coin. Did anyone see him in the first half? Then he transforms into an indomitable beast in the second half, between a curling shot that requires the miracle of Micai and important flashes. From 80′ Kouda sv – Thrown into the fray to prove the coup.
P. Esposito 6 – The evil eye on you. He makes passes across the entire attacking front, a strong tower on set pieces. The equalizer was born from one of his spurts, but he was unable to break the fast that had been going on for more than six months. Also thanks to Micai.
Luca D’Angelo 5.5 – A peer that leads nowhere. Vignali puts his best foot forward, but now for salvation everything is postponed to the match against Venezia on Friday evening. And the tension is sky high.
