INTER-LAZIO 1-1
(88′ Dumfries; 32′ Kamada)
Inter’s report cards – Edited by Ivan Cardia
Summer 5 – Not blameless on Kamada’s goal: a shame especially for him, who sees his record fade away clean sheets. First, also a good save. Afterwards, some scattered uncertainty.
Pavard 6.5 – He ends with a slide to be seen and reviewed in football schools, an orderly and well played match. The offensive ideas are interesting.
Unripe 6 – He returns with the freshness of someone who has rested and the desire of someone who has to prepare for a European Championship. Enterprising in the possession phase: invent and take risks.
Sticks 6 – He raises his arm about Castellanos’ offside, which no one had seen: he was right. Wide and tall in various situations. (From the 64th minute Carlos Augusto –).
Darmian 6 – Little or no resourcefulness: one could push against Pellegrini but instead he almost always remains low. Proof: on the few occasions in which they increase their range of action, Inter “risk” doing badly. (From 64′ Dumfries 7 – He wins the free kick and then scores for the final draw: fourth goal in the championship. The renewal is far away, but it was a factor of the season).
Stretcher 6.5 – San Siro asks him for a goal to say goodbye: it doesn’t arrive, unlike the usual match, sumptuous and abundant.
Calhanoglu 6 – End of season homework, without infamy and without praise. (From 76′ Sanchez 6.5 – There is always the doubt that, as a fifth attacker, he could even be kept. Sparkling).
Mkhitaryan 5.5 – Like a teacher on the last day of school. He lets Kamada do it, who scores. (From 64′ Frattesi 6.5 – He once dreamed of playing for Roma. It shows).
Dimarco 6.5 – On and off the pitch, often in an inside position. In the first half he grinds out opportunity after opportunity, stopped only by an amazing Provedel. (From 76′ Buchanan 6 – A couple of ideas and little else).
Thuram 5 – Ready to go, remember that he can and must improve in front of goal by shooting Provedel’s suggestion in the mouth Bull. He alternates good plays with very little coldness in his choices.
Lautaro 6 – Better than his partner. For the assist at the start of the match, for the post in the second half, for the dirty work he always offers his teammates.
Simone Inzaghi 6 – Defeat would not have been the best way to say goodbye. He gives his starters the last catwalk of the season, he imposes some tactical experiments on a seaside Inter to look for stimuli. He still closes in a hyper-offensive version: is he studying something for the future on a permanent basis?
Lazio report cards – Edited by Paolo Lora Lamia
Provedel 7.5 – Masterful performance, with which he sends a clear message after his absence due to injury. Great protagonist in the first half, with excellent interventions on Thuram and Dimarco. In the second half he only gave up at the end, on Dumfries’ header.
Patric 6.5 – In addition to defending with ever greater effectiveness in his area of expertise, he also pushes into the opponent’s half of the field when he can.
Farmhouse 6.5 – Careful game in the center of the area. The Nerazzurri attackers had a difficult time against him for the entire 90 minutes.
Gila 6.5 – More than enough match for the left centre-back, always punctual in his defensive closures. From 78′ Cataldi sv.
Marusic 5.5 – He has a lot to do against a wild Dimarco. He completes his less-than-exciting performance by missing out on Dumfries in a 1-1 draw.
Vecino 6.5 – He gives substance to the midfield, countering the powerful Inter midfield both by pressing and acting as a screen in front of the defense. In the second half he also came close to scoring.
Rovella 6 – He was entrusted with directing the team, making himself ready for this task. From 66′ Guendouzi 6 – He replaces his teammate as best he can, giving vitality to the midfield in view of the final part of the match.
Pilgrims 6 – He pushes with good consistency, having some more difficulty when he is called upon to defend. From 66′ Hysaj –
Kamada 7 – The Japanese towers over the attacking midfield, acting as an advanced director but also as a solver. In fact, he made the left-footed shot which made it 0-1. From 72′ Felipe Anderson 6 – End of the match with some ideas, but without too many opportunities to make an impact.
Zaccagni 6.5 – Less impactful than Kamada, but still actively involved in attacking actions several times. From 72′ Luis Alberto 6 – Last glimpse of the match for the Spaniard, where not many balls happen in his area.
Castellanos 5.5 – In the first half of the game he had a couple of opportunities: he exploited one but the goal was disallowed for offside and the other was blocked by Sommer. Worse in the second, when he wastes the counterattack for a possible 0-2.
Igor Tudor 6 – He had asked for the maximum and his team satisfied him almost until the end, with a careful and vigorous race. He pays for a couple of uncertainties in both areas in the final.
