Salernitana-Atalanta 1-2, the report cards: Tchaouna defends his honor. What a Scamacca…

Final result: Salernitana-Atalanta 1-2

SALERNITANA (by Luca Esposito)

Fiorillo 6 – Not guilty of the two goals, he is rarely called upon by the Nerazzurri, but defends his small area well.

Pasalidis 6 – He holds his side well without ever taking big risks. Aside from a few Lookman incursions, she gets by with good tempo choices. From 46′ Pellegrino 4.5 – On the guest’s second goal, he sweeps the ball badly, giving possession to the Nerazzurri and paving the way for Koopmeiners’ goal.

Fazio 6 – Scamacca has another pace and you can see it when he accelerates, but he gets by with experience by making his physique count. He averts a couple of complicated situations thanks to his good positioning.

Pirola 5 – Yet another carelessness, when he was found guilty of delaying Scamacca during Atalanta’s equaliser. The return round to forget on a personal level for the Inter school centre-back.

Sambia 5.5 – Alternate a few good strides with tired phases. In the first half he provides the right leg, while he drops in the second half. On the occasion of the Nerazzurri draw, they were overtaken in the air by Pasalic. From 69′ Zanoli 5 – He enters a complicated phase and doesn’t show up much. A few descents on the wing and nothing else.

Basic 5 – Yet another dull and colorless test for the man who, in the intention, should have led the grenade midfield. Often out of the maneuver, he never takes off.

Coulibaly 5.5 – He misses a lot of balls, but at least doesn’t lack intensity and competitive spirit. In the second half he has a good ball in the area, but he loses the moment.

Bradaric 5 – He remains blocked throughout the match to contain Hateboer and Miranchuk who, however, pass him consistently. He often finds himself chasing. From 77′ Sfait sv

Tchaouna 6.5 – One of the few to defend the honor, the Frenchman scores his fourth goal in Serie A with a nice angled left-footed shot, while in the final he comes close to equalising. There is no shortage of admirers for the former Lille player, capable of showing off good technical skills despite such a complex season.

Vineyard 6 – He doesn’t have the ninety minutes in his legs, but some of his ideas in the strait give a glimpse of all his unexpressed talent. His assist was for Tchaouna. From the 69th minute Legowski 5 – Inconsistent, loses many tackles.

Ikwuemesi 5 – Absent presence at Arechi. The Nigerian goes to the door, but he almost never sees her. From 60′ Weissman 5 – In the second half he has an excellent chance to equalize on the right, but he gets blocked.

Stefano Colantuono 6 – The team holds out for an hour in the presence of an opponent of a much higher caliber and remains in the game until the end. Already a good result for a team in tatters.

Carnesecchi 6 – Idle until Tchaouna’s winning diagonal shot, the only shot of the first half, on which he couldn’t do much. In the second half he denied him a brace.

De Roon 6 – He places himself on the center-right of the three-man line and there is a lot of dancing on that side at the start, and he is taken for a walk on the goal. Then it settles down again.

Hien 5.5 – The high defense is a dogma in the Zingonia area, it still needs to take a few repetitions. He doesn’t rise in time to take Tchaouna offline, he suffers from start to finish.

Scalvini 6 – He struggles a bit on the sprints of the Granata sprinters, but he doesn’t give in. The substitution is exclusively for tactical reasons. From 46′ Ruggeri 6.5 – Among the decisive additions for the comeback: not only as an external pusher, he also does great as a winger.

Hateboer 6.5 – It started like this, but it increased as the minutes went by, coming forward more often and above all acting as a human shield with a decisive save on the goal line.

Ederson 5.5 – Fatal misunderstanding with Lookman, the ball lost too much generates the counterattack translated into a goal by Salernitana. From 46′ Koopmeiners 7.5 – Clear ideas, speed of execution: top class opening on the draw, terrifying attack on 2-1. Unplayable, shifts the momentum of the match.

Pasalic 6.5 – In the first half the opponent’s penalty area is more crowded than the ring road during rush hour, when the traffic decreases he throws himself into the spaces and puts it in for Scamacca.

Zappacosta 6 – Starting with the handbrake: he could be a little more daring, because Sambia doesn’t seem like a marvel in the defensive phase. He gets back on track with experience.

Miranchuk 5.5 – He dances on the trocar, without finding the right play. He immediately gives Fiorillo a thrill, but on the second try he isn’t bad enough. From 46′ De Ketelaere 6 – Different consistency, sprint freely.

Lookman 6.5 – Lots of movement to carve out the ideal space, he finds it wide on the left: the man always jumps there, even if he devours two goals: the first as big as a house. From 80′ Touré sv

Scamacca 7 – The fulcrum of the Nerazzurri’s maneuver, every time he touches the ball he creates a danger. Finishes well for Miranchuk and Lookman, easy life with Fazio. The robbery draw. Tenth goal in the last 12: he is the best striker at the moment. From 80′ Djimsiti sv

Gian Piero Gasperini 6.5 – Celebrate 300 benches in Serie A with Atalanta in a match that seems to have an obvious ending but turns out to be less soft than expected. The spotlight with the changes after a superficial approach. Roma hooked with a recovery still to be played: the Champions League is ever closer.
