Final result: Ternana-Bari 0-3
TERNANA
Iannarilli 5.5 – The response with the knee to Sibilli was effective, but the opposition on the three goals was not so effective. He avoids poker, saving well on Nasti and Dorval.
Casasola 5 – He tries in vain to convey calm to his teammates, the tension is beyond the alert level and plays a bad joke on them.
From the Walls 4.5 – Responsibilities evident on all markings: great difficulty in holding the position. He pays a high price for inexperience.
Lucchesi 5 – Late in closing, he goes haywire and in the final he even loses his nerves. Breda removes him prematurely to avoid a second yellow card. From 77′ Dionisi sv
Favasuli 5.5 – He slaloms away and comes close to taking the lead with a nice left-footed shot, unlucky on the second goal: Ricci lets it pass under his legs.
Luperini 5 – Systematic doubles to break up Bari’s phrasing, the usual running but also a lot of imprecision in the finishing phase.
Amatucci 5.5 – Play mobile, among the most lucid when called upon to draw passing lines. He collapses along with the rest of his companions.
Fatiguing 5.5 – Almost exclusively defensive work, he often comes to the aid of the central defenders. Stay in the locker room when the scenario changes dramatically. From 46′ Raymond 5.5 – With his entry the attack gains a little weight, but it doesn’t sting.
Carbons 5 – He engages in a nice full-range duel with Dorval, the start is promising but he fails to make the greatest athletic impact. From 56′ De Boer 5 – It adds nothing.
Pereiro 4.5 – Decisive at San Nicola, this time he tries just once from the edge of the area without success. Single flash, before disappearing from radar.
Distefano 5.5 – Impregnable when he turns on the turbo on the restart, he forces Di Cesare to spend a yellow card to stop him. He challenges Pissardo with his head, but too little.
Roberto Breda 5 – He plays the same eleven again, it goes badly for him: Bari approaches the match of the season with a different malice compared to the first leg, dominating it in every aspect.
BARI
Pissardo 6.5 – Judgment suspended in the first half, because Ternana never kicked on target. Great reflection on Distefano in the second half.
Pucino 6.5 – Proactive attitude, leadership that cannot be bought at the supermarket. Of the three central players, he is the one who rises most often to accompany the action.
Of Caesar 8 – On his 41st birthday he fulfills the last wish of his life as a footballer: to save Bari. A film script, he is the absolute protagonist.
Vicars 7 – His size comes in handy especially in the second half to counter Raimondo in the air. He towers over his opponents with ease.
Dorval 7 – Shocking start, an unfortunate back pass cured by Di Cesare’s intervention then becomes devastating: his cross for the second goal and the assist for the hat trick. From 87′ Matino sv
Maita 6.5 – The yellow card received after about twenty minutes requires him to behave less aggressively in the match, but the substance is not lacking. From 87′ Acampora sv
Maiello 6.5 – Complicated season, especially on a physical level, but despite not being at the top it is fundamental for how he manages possession. From 56′ Lulic 6.5 – He keeps the pace high.
Benali 6.5 – More attacking midfielder than midfielder, he takes turns joining Sibilli and Nasti in the offensive maneuver, dispensing flashes of quality between a few breaks.
Curls 7.5 – Among the best on the first leg, he repeats himself on the return leg. Third goal in Serie B, second to Ternana with whom he evidently has a score to settle. A fury.
Sibyls 7.5 – Fantasy in power, embroiders football in freedom. From the flag he rewards the audacity of his captain, he closes the game on the counterattack. From 87′ Puscas sv
Nasti 6 – With his movement he sends Ternana into confusion, his wrong stop turns into an assist for Ricci. Iannarilli denies him the goal. From 69′ Morachioli 6 – Look for the flicker.
Federico Giampaolo 7 – Nightmares chased away, salvation arrives in the sweetest and perhaps unexpected way. The choices are the right ones, the big names don’t betray him. Mission accomplished.
