Final result: Cagliari-Fiorentina 2-3
CAGLIARI
Scuffet 6.5 – In the first part of the match, with a couple of saves he avoids a heavier deficit. Much less busy during the second. From 95′ Aresti sv.
Hoe 6 – Almost nothing in accompanying the action, at least in the early stages of the match. In this sense, it improves as operations progress.
Mine 6 – He dominates in the middle of the area, where he often has the upper hand against a tough opponent like Belotti. In the end, however, it is not flawless with Nico Gonzalez’s 2-2.
Obert 6 – Good performance for the central defender who, especially in the second half, prevents balls from coming towards Scuffet.
Augello 5.5 – As a pusher and a crosser his performance is positive. Less on the defensive level, given that he loses the duel with Bonaventura on the goal.
Nandez 6.5 – He counters Biraghi with good continuity on his side, moving forward with ever greater punctuality. In the final, he starts the action to make it 2-1. From 93′ Di Pardo 5 – His entry onto the pitch was nothing short of forgettable, given that he committed the foul that led to the defeat of the Sardinians.
Deiola 7 – Excellent at directing. In fact, many of the rossoblù’s maneuvers start from his feet. Much more enterprising in the last meters after the break, also finding the 1-1 with a great header. From 77′ Sulemana sv. From 94′ Mancosu sv.
Meadows 6.5 – He makes his presence felt in the crucial area of the pitch, for substance but also for quality. Deiola’s goal comes from an assist from him.
Luvumbo 6 – An arrow on the left, from which he starts to then enter the area and try to make himself dangerous. From 77′ Mutandwa 7 – Amazing impact for the 34, who scores the illusory lead with a nice right-footed shot.
Purple 6.5 – The Sardinians’ advanced playmaker, who starts the action with illuminating throws and is also treacherous with his set pieces.
Lapadula 6 – He fights relentlessly with the opposing centre-backs, doing a lot of dirty work for his teammates. More dangerous in the second part of the match.
Claudio Ranieri 9 – The evaluation is not so much for this crackling match, but for the career of a gentleman of the bench who gave two years of joy to the Sardinian people.
FLORENTINA
Terracciano 6.5 – Great protagonist in the first half of the game, keeping his team afloat with prodigious interventions. Little responsibility for goals.
Dodo 6 – In addition to pushing with his usual consistency, he also stands out for his excellent defensive closures. Better in the first half.
Milenkovic 6 – Attentive to the center of the area for a good part of the match, he comes out to avoid trouble as he is warned. From 66′ Martinez Fourth 6 – He does his job in his area, but is dangerous as usual even in the opponent’s area.
Ranieri 5.5 – Sufficient performance overall, at least until Deiola let slip during the 1-1 draw in Cagliari.
Biraghi 6 – Good push to the left. In the final, Nico Gonzalez serves the ball from a free kick to bring the match to 2-2.
Mandragora 6 – Solid match in the middle of the field, certainly not among the most prominent in the purple jersey. From 56′ Arthur 7.5 – In addition to giving freshness to the midfielder, he shows all his coolness by scoring the 2-3 penalty on the gong.
Bonaventure 7 – He transformed the disappointment of not being called up for the European Championships into positive energy, unblocking a match that was becoming complicated with a great left foot. From 74′ Beltran 6 – Good ending to the match, in which the penalty that leads to success is earned.
Ikoné 5 – Few ideas on the right front of the attack. Clearly the worst in the Italian eleven. From 56′ Nico Gonzalez 7 – Much better than his teammate, he scores the 2-2 with a pass from a bird of prey in the area.
Barak 6 – Compared to most of his appearances in Viola, it’s a shame to fight in the middle of the pitch more than to play in the attacking midfield.
Castrovilli 6.5 – It grows noticeably as the minutes pass, in terms of the quality given to the maneuver. Bonaventura serves the ball which his teammate turns into a goal at the end of the first half.
Belotti 6 – He doesn’t have many balls in the area with which to become dangerous, but he still helps the team in the finishing phase. In fact, the action of the 0-1 starts from his feet. From 74′ Nzola 6 – At the end of the match, he doesn’t have many balls available to find his personal seal.
Vincenzo Italian 6.5 – His team confirmed the good moment, finding a victory that was not to be taken for granted given how the match evolved. A good starting point, in view of the final with Olympiakos.
