Final result: Pisa-Sudtirol 2-2
PISA
Nicolas 6 – For half an hour the reflection of the sun is the only threat he has to defend himself from, when Arrigoni knocks on the door he doesn’t open it.
Calabrians 6 – A flawless performance, he manages to limit Casiraghi without giving up appearing in the opponent’s half of the field.
Caracciolo 6 – He makes us fear the worst when he collapses to the ground, but luckily it’s a false alarm. He gets up to fight again.
Canestrelli 5.5 – Aggressive in his advances, essential to keep the line high but keeps Molina in the game who he is unable to oppose.
Barbers 5 – He ends up behind the board due to his serious naivety during the penalty: he doesn’t slow down the run by sending Odogwu to the spot.
Marine 5.5 – Many duels engaged in the middle of the pitch, generosity is not in question even if the distribution is not always fluid
Values 5.5 – He moves his range of action back by several meters in a role that takes him away from the goal and does not add quality to the development of the maneuver.
D’Alessandro 5.5 – He plays with the handbrake on, without finding the necessary spaces for the usual accelerations. Try it without jerks. From 72′ L. Tramoni sv
Arena 6.5 – Inspired, he twice puts Tramoni in the ideal conditions to score then tries to strike out on his own. He slips away among his opponents, visibly drops into the distance. From 78′ Masucci sv
M. Tramoni 5.5 – He kicks a moving penalty into Poluzzi’s arms, he could do it again but he pardons him again. Kick the lead corner. From 71′ Moreo 6 – Second consecutive hit, a bit lucky to be honest but he gets his head around it.
Bonfanti 6.5 – The movements are the right ones, he attacks depth but is almost never served properly. Lethal inside the area, he doesn’t need to be prayed for. From 90′ Torregrossa sv
Alberto Aquilani 5.5 – Little or nothing to lose, so he lined up an offensively oriented team that played a decent first half, but forgot to return to the field, avoiding the knockout in daring fashion. Symbolic match of this Pisa’s season, at times also beautiful to look at but unfinished.
SOUTH TYROL
Poluzzi 6 – Saved by Tramoni who delivered the ball to him, a difficult save shortly afterwards. He can’t do anything about the goals scored.
Days 5.5 – Participates in the collective sleep that gives Pisa the lead, when he turns the ball has already rolled to the bottom of the bag.
Masiello 6 – In Scaglia’s absence he is in charge of the defense: he unravels Bonfanti, he seems the least guilty of the defensive trio.
Cagnano 5.5 – As the left arm he suffers from Arena’s initiatives, who starts from there to take him for a walk with his evolutions. He returns the ball to make it 2-2 onto Moreo’s head.
Molina 6.5 – He responds blow for blow to Barbieri in the sprints, a precious weapon on set pieces: he equalizes with the first goal of the season, almost conceding an encore.
Mallamo 6 – He overlaps, exchanging positions with Molina, plays an extremely expensive match, emptying the entire tank. From 78′ Merkaj sv
Arrigoni 6 – From gregarious on Lake Como to irreplaceable on Braies, he keeps the team moving and also worries Nicolas from the outside.
Peeters 5.5 – Many errors in the construction phase, he tries to make up for it with physicality but often arrives late having to resort to fouls. From 78′ Rauti sv
Rover 6 – He moves to the left, where he manages to keep D’Alessandro at bay and also appears in the shooting area. Honest match, with great sacrifice. From 63′ El Kaouakibi 6 – Cut to the chase.
Casiraghi 6 – It gives some timid flashes on a gray afternoon, like the soft ball delivered to Molina’s head for the equalizer. From 62′ Cisco 6 – Dangerous with a cross shot.
Odogwu 6.5 – He doesn’t properly angle the only good cross he receives in the first half. In the second half he elbows his way by acting alone: he gets and converts the overtaking penalty.
Federico Valente 6 – The serious absences force him to make somewhat forced choices, he plays for everything in the final by piling up attackers but he is unable to keep the playoff discussion alive. Salvation with two rounds to spare is still a good result.
