FLOWER 5. He saves on Leao in the 2nd minute but he makes a sensational pass that gives Milan the first goal, he lets the ball escape and Leao punishes him. Not much to blame on the other goals.
PIEROZZI 5.5. He spends the first half chasing Leao, a few good finishes but nothing more. Too slow compared to the speed of his opponents. Good header just over in the 80th minute.
GYOMBER 5.5. Some closures leave something to be desired, totally uncertain about Giroud on the occasion of Milan’s second goal but it must be said that he returned after a month and a half out. A test in view of the European Championship, in the hope of securing the call-up. (from the 19th st PILGRIM 6. When he enters the Rossoneri score a trio of goals, but then he puts up a discreet guard.)
PASALIDIS 5.5. He does what he can, given the context. Good to close on Giroud in the penalty area in the 52nd minute but Calabria was completely lost on the occasion of the home team’s third goal.
ZANOLI 5.5. He continually looks for nearby Candreva, limited in his offensive projections by Theo Hernandez’s experience. Bad for Milan’s third goal on Leao’s descent, then canceled for offside. (from 35′ st LEGOWSKI sv. Try to put substance into it).
MAJOR 6. Rather than setting up the maneuver, he spent the first half seeing Milan’s midfielders emerge from every corner. He lacks a bit of clarity. He improves in the second half. (from 35′ st SFAIT sv. Some promising ideas for the second appearance in Serie A).
COULIBALY 5.5. He recovers a few fouls in midfield but little in the way of the game.
SAMBIA 6.5. Saved on the line at the start of the match, sometimes careless in the last pass, he was better in the defensive phase. His cross from the corner kicks Simy’s header. Taking advantage of the AC Milan fans’ emotion due to Giroud’s exit from the pitch, he invents a nice diagonal shot from outside the air which catches Mirante unprepared for the 3-2 goal.
CANDREVA 6. All-rounder, he also does his best in defence. Good initiative that leads him to shoot at the beginning of the second half but to no avail. (from 15th st VINEYARD 6. Generous. He tries to find his space by staying wide on the left but the playable opportunities are limited.
KASTANOS 5.5. A few timid attempts in the first half, a counterattack managed too slowly and little more. Completely caged by the AC Milan defense (from the 15th minute SIMY 7. Twice he finds himself in the right place at the right time. Left completely free, he heads the momentary 2-1 from a corner, a miracle from Mirante in the 65th minute prevents him from scoring a brace which then arrives on a short rebound from Sportiello in the 89th minute).
TCHAOUNA 6.5. Non-paying spectator in the first half, some lively dribbling with lots of smoke and little fire. Definitely better in the second half where he puts in more determination, his descent from the right which leads to the 3-3 goal. He also engages in defensive retreats.
ALL: COLANTUONO 6. You said “dignity”, and there was dignity in the last act. She also helped the prestigious stage, like in Turin. At Di Marco’s final whistle, a half-release, perhaps. He will return to being a manager.
