Final result: Hellas Verona-Torino 2-3
HELLAS VERONA (Edited by Paolo Lora Lamia)
Montipo 5 – He has little to reproach himself for the two goals scored by the Granata in the first half of the game, as well as for Adams’ hat-trick that sealed the game in the final minutes.
Dawidowicz 4 – A very dark evening for him, in which he committed a negative mistake for the development of the match. Due to a slap on Sanabria, he gets the inevitable straight red card, leaving his team in numerical inferiority after 20 minutes.
Cap 5 – In the action that unlocked the match, Sanabria escaped and did not miss in a one-on-one with Montipò. He completed his negative performance with the back pass that gave way to the action of the third goal for the Granata.
Magnani 4.5 – A very complicated match, being a negative protagonist on the decisive plays of Toro. On Sanabria’s goal he deflects Zapata’s backheel assist, then loses the aerial duel with the Colombian when he scores the 1-2. In the final, he lets Adams steal the ball and scores the safety goal.
Chatchachoua 5.5 – He is rarely seen on his wing, although Sosa certainly does not push like a madman on that side. Slightly better after the break. From 86′ Lambourde sv.
Belahyan 6.5 – He started the match with personality in the middle of the field, maintaining a good level of performance while the rest of the team was increasingly suffering. At the end, he provided the assist for Mosquera’s 2-3.
Dani Silva 5.5 – Quite anonymous overall, both in countering opponents and in developing the maneuver.
Lazović 6 – A couple of initiatives on the left and little else, apart from the corner from which Kastanos scored the 1-1. From 46′ Daniliuc 5.5 – He should have given more solidity to the defense in the second half, but he fails to do so.
Chestnuts 6.5 – Among the few who are saved in Zanetti’s eleven. After Sanabria’s 0-1, he signs the immediate equaliser with a rocket from outside the area and in general he is the one who tries most to make himself dangerous. From 67′ Leveling 5.5 – He brings freshness in the final meters, but also misses a good opportunity immediately after Adams’ goal.
Sarr 6 – Chance from the 1st minute for him, who however is sacrificed after less than half an hour to rebalance the team after the red card to Dawidowicz. From the 26th minute Cutters 5.5 – He suffers from Lazaro’s resourcefulness on his side, in many cases as in the action of the second Torino goal.
Tengstedt 5.5 – He has a difficult life against Vanoli’s defense, especially after the expulsion since he remains even more isolated compared to the rest of his teammates. From 67′ Mosque 6 – He enters a difficult situation, scoring the 2-3 goal with practically no time left.
Paul Zanetti 6 – Defeated in a match clearly conditioned by the red card to Dawidowicz after 20 minutes. The commitment of his boys, already from the 1st minute with reduced ranks due to absences, is however appreciable.
TURIN
Milinkovic Savic 6 – He has little to do, he enjoys a quiet evening. On the pearl of Kastanos he is free from blame.
Walukiewicz 6.5 – No one can pass through his area. He intercepts many balls and even pushes himself into the Verona penalty area in the development phase. From 82′ Dembelé sv
Maripan 6.5 – Torino’s action always starts with him. He touches a lot of balls in the build-up phase and leaves nothing in defense. He has already convinced Vanoli.
Masina 5.5 – Business as usual behind for over ninety minutes, then with a huge mistake he gifts the goal for 2-3 to Verona. He spices up his performance with a beautiful vertical ball that starts the action for Sanabria’s 1-0.
Lazarus 6 – At times a positive factor, but sometimes he also makes mistakes. He lost a few too many balls on his night, but also provided the assist for the goal scored by Zapata.
Curls 6.5 – National Version. Impeccable in possession and without the ball, with great vision of the game and the usual vigor in the tackles. From 92′ Njie sv
Tame 6.5 – It’s true, he can also play as a defender and he did it well. But tonight he gives further confirmation of the fact that if placed in midfield he can really be a man capable of making the difference. He comes out, in fact, and his absence in the middle of the field is felt. From 68′ Linetty 5.5 – He’s not convincing yet, he’s a bit hasty with the ball at his feet.
Ilic 6.5 – In Vanoli’s football, the midfielders are called to do a demanding job and he is not backing down. Also combining a lot of quality in his plays. From 68′ Gineitis 6 – He does his part, without any shame or praise, in a final management.
Sosa 6 – Toro plays more on the other lane and the same goes for Verona. So he is called to a school work. Maybe we expected a few more threats for the opposing defense from his crosses.
Sanabria 6 – Chosen somewhat surprisingly, he proved Vanoli right by scoring after less than ten minutes. Sure, he also missed a penalty and the rating was affected by this, but his return to the starting lineup coincided with his return to scoring six months after his last goal and it was still a great night. From 68′ Adams 7 – He comes in and scores, scoring the goal that ultimately proves decisive. What an impact on the game, what an impact on Torino, what an impact on Serie A.
Shoe 7 – In the area he is simply devastating. In the body to body you never beat him, on the high balls even less. He takes advantage of one and finds another goal, with his head, his best skill. He is the MVP.
Paul Vanoli 7 – He expected an offensive response from his boys and he got it. He chose Sanabria instead of Adams and his decision was rewarded after just 10 minutes of the match with the goal from the former Roma player. If Torino is top of the league, maybe even just for one night, much of the credit goes to him.
