Final result: Cagliari-Bologna 0-2
Scuffet 5 – The goal in the first half was a shot from Orsolini, but it was still a shot straight to his post and this is never a great thing for a goalkeeper. He confirmed his negative evening by starting late on Odgaard’s left foot.
Hoe 5.5 – He almost never pushes, also because a particularly enterprising Miranda rages on his side. The 0-2 ends an action that started in his area of competence.
Palomino 6 – The former Atalanta player is good in his area, where he is rarely surpassed. One of the few who survive in Nicola’s eleven.
Luperto 5.5 – The first part of the match was almost perfect, until the 0-1 score in which he was unable to stop Orsolini. More suffering in the second half.
Obert 5.5 – Very difficult match, against an Orsolini team who almost always has the upper hand. Things don’t get better as the fight progresses. From 73′ Augello 6 –
Meadows 5.5 – He should give quality to Nicola’s midfield, but he succeeds with mixed success. From 59′ After 6 – Good entry from him, with him the midfield acquires more intensity.
Marine 5.5 – The former Empoli player starts off with a good attitude, only to end up suffering more and more against the Bolognese players next door.
Zortea 5 – Some offensive initiative, in a lane where however he has a lot to do against Miranda. From 59′ Happy 6.5 – Excellent impact for the winger, among the elements that create more situations in the final stages of the match.
Purple 5.5 – He puts his foot in some action and also tries a shot from outside, but it’s not one of his best evenings for precision in supporting his teammates. From 59′ Lapadula 5.5 – He is not served properly, consequently practically never managing to make himself dangerous.
Gaetano 5 – Deployed in a fairly hybrid position, on the left he struggles both to help Obert in containment and to turn on when his team has the ball. From 73′ Luvumbo 6 – A few rings in the final meters, which however do not lead to the goal of hope.
Small 5.5 – He starts strong, with a deflected cross that almost deceives Skorupski. He also had another opportunity in the first 45 minutes, during which (as in the second half) however he was generally well limited.
Davide Nicola 5 – There will have to be a reaction to the defeat in Udine, but we certainly can’t talk about a reaction. Gaetano high on the left is not very convincing, as is the general attitude of the team. Something more with the changes.
