The best match of the last weekend deserved it special report cards, with all the faces of the protagonists of the incredible match in Sesto. Atalanta are superior, but are unable to close the qualification issue already in the first leg, Pro Sesto is good at always remaining attached to the opponent, proving once again a team full of resources.
PRO SESTO
Patrick 7 Once again he confirms himself as a goalkeeper of reliability and great instinct. The Goddess’ attacks are repeated, especially in the second half, but she always remains focused without having particular responsibility for the goals conceded.
Ottolini 6.5 Football-wise, among the most ready and complete, both from a technical and physical point of view. However, her game always seems a little divided between offensive and defensive tasks, with the feeling that she is unable to dedicate herself to either of the two phases to the best of her ability.
Ghioni 6.5 Very solicited. Ottolini and Ferretti help, but they are actually two against three behind, and with Boldini and Farina they have to make the “sign of the cross” on every ball. He suffers, as is normal, but he completes a proud match.
Ship 7 The usual mix of speed, technique, but also energy in midfield. The good things far outweigh the mistakes and some misunderstandings with her teammates. At a certain point, then, she tries a flying scissors kick that if she succeeded, everything would come down…
Dalla Mora 6.5 Tough job as the first striker in a match like this. He doesn’t manage to do much overall, but he treats every ball he manages to touch with great care, and this is appreciable.
1′ By Matteo 7.5 Twice Nuzzi takes care of catching Atalanta, the third time it’s her turn with a deflection under goal from a thoroughbred center forward. Fundamental goal in the economy of the double comparison, his, which still leaves everything open.
Room 7 Less of a surveyor this time, and more of a “predator” of the midfield. He plays an aggressive and convincing game against opponents like Norscia and Krafia, people from the Under 15 national team.
22′ st Karabelyova 7 She’s not in her best condition after the injury that kept her out recently, but when she comes on, you can really feel the difference. He unravels various situations with perfect timing, participates in the action that leads to Di Matteo’s goal.
Ferretti 6.5 He has a couple of interesting chances in the first half. He doesn’t make the most of them, it’s true, but the conditions for being able to hurt Atalanta were there for the winger of the two most devoted to attack.
1st Alloni 6 He takes Ferretti’s place in the second half but is unable to fully immerse himself in the heat of the match, also suffering a bit of physical fatigue due to the heat and being forced to leave early. (10′ TT D’Angiolillo SV)
Nuzzi 8.5 Every time we see her in action she does more incredible things than the last. He scores a goal of quality and stubbornness, he scores another directly from the corner flag. Without a doubt the number one danger and sharpest arrow in Newfoundland’s quiver.
Teddy bears 7 Infinite heart in supporting the defense together with Ghioni on the countless Atalanta attacks. Half a vote more also for how he adapts to the role of midfielder after Karabelyova’s entry into the field.
All. Terranova 7 Atalanta took the lead three times, Pro Sesto managed to put them back on their feet three times. In the end, the pitch’s verdict was right because the Nerazzurri could certainly have done more, but what a heart these girls have!
ATALANTA
Marcheselli 6.5 Caught a little by surprise on the trajectory of Nuzzi’s corner, which also pierces her on the first goal. For the rest, however, a match that doesn’t particularly stress her, and in which she still keeps her attention threshold high.
Bonacina 7 Grim, focused and timely. Complete the backlog department with solidity and clarity. Upon leaving the pitch he earns compliments from the opposing coach, and even those from the referee.
20′ st Saccomandi 6.5 Her entrance reshapes the Nerazzurri board with Farina dropping down and her taking her place in attack. She enters with desire and excellent spirit, even if the third half is the one in which Atalanta seems a little less brilliant.
Giacomello 8 It starts a little quietly, suffering from Nuzzi’s incursions on its director, but then it grows throughout the match, crowning it with a great long-range goal that breaks Pro Sesto’s resistance once and for all
Bacchio 7 There are players whose mere look makes it clear that they have something more. He makes some mistakes (one above all with a dangerous ball given away), but otherwise he proves to be a charismatic defender capable of keeping all the air and land traffic in the Atalanta area under control.
Norscia 7.5 The captain is the engine of the team, as well as the litmus test. Atalanta breaks down a bit at a certain point and she screams to bring her back to concentration. An essential element. (22′ Longaretti sv)
Krafia 7.5 De Maria’s tiger recovers the ball on the first goal and sends Farina in with a through ball from the PlayStation. With Norscia he forms a midfield duo that really lacks nothing from a footballing point of view.
22′ st Pezzotta 6.5 He takes over from Krafia, giving the team a breather and trying to keep the intensity high in the middle of the pitch.
Flour 9 Three goals, a crossbar, but above all an enormous feeling of maturity and awareness. This year’s Atalanta has an edge, and she is one of the players who makes this difference felt the most. (23′ Corraini sv)
Boldrini 7.5 A cursed match between chances in front of goal and goals disallowed. However, if Atalanta manages to create numerical superiority very often, and to dig furrows even on a nine-man pitch, much of the credit goes to their speed and agility. (23′ Villa SV)
Fumagalli 7 She doesn’t make herself particularly dangerous but she is very good at playing from the bank, extending the action on Boldrini and Farina even in the first instance. In the second half she also made herself appreciated by playing as a winger.
16′ st Marano 7 Perhaps the most brilliant and unpredictable player in De Maria’s squad, but probably also the one who occasionally indulges in too many quirks with the ball and chain.
All. De Maria 7 Of course, all those canceled goals and a Pro Sesto still clinging to his leg don’t make him feel very calm, because he could have returned to Bergamo with the semi-final already in his pocket. However, the team is stronger, and the fact of having to remain alert even in the return match can be a way to avoid even the smallest drop in concentration.
