Cagliari, tops and flops
- Ranieri 10: He bids farewell to his native Cagliari with sincere emotion, after achieving yet another feat in a career worth remembering. If there is space at the Unipol Domus to celebrate it, it is thanks to him, because the Sardinians were saved a day early thanks to his wise leadership. Claudio Ranieri will be top forever, even if he doesn’t find a national team to continue coaching with.
- Deiola 7: He hadn’t scored since April 2022. Perfect header from Prati’s kissed cross and the dedication is obvious but not trivial: for Claudio Ranieri.
- Mutandwa 7: Fifth appearance in Serie A, first goal. Splendid right foot that turns just enough to hit the post and surpass Terracciano.
- Meadows 6.5: Give Deiola a chocolate to unwrap and enjoy together with the Unipol Domus fans. Quantity and quality.
- Lapadula 6: He fights like a lion, Terracciano and two offside positions deny him the joy of scoring.
- Augello 5: Bonaventura eludes his guard and scores the momentary goal that gives Viola the lead.
- Di Pardo 5: The foul on Beltran in the penalty area was naive, allowing Fiorentina to celebrate at the last gasp with Arthur.
Fiorentina, top and flop
- Terracciano 7.5: Miracle on Lapadula, miracle on Luvumbo. Human gate valve. An absolute guarantee for a long time. Not at fault for the goals of Deiola And Mutandwa.
- Bonaventure 7: Splendid left hand, which leaves Scuffet no chance. Class doesn’t age.
- Arthur 7: Glacial from the spot.
- Castrovilli 6.5: Triggers Bonaventura in the action of the temporary 1-0 of the Viola. He works hard.
- Nico Gonzalez 6.5: His classic scratch avoids defeat in the final.

- Ikonè 5: Evanescent, never in the game.
Cagliari-Fiorentina, the referee’s report card
Cagliari-Fiorentina was refereed by Alexander Ready of the Bologna section. Preti and Miniuti assist him. Fourth official Giua. At VAR Mazzoleni and Maggioni. A more insidious match than anyone could have expected, nervous at times. Good management of cards. VAR rightly did not validate two goals against Cagliari and awarded the decisive penalty to Fiorentina. Booy but impeccable. Rating 7.
