Final result: Como-Monza 1-1
COMO
Reina 6.5 – His international experience emerges in key moments of the derby. Confident in high exits and tackles, he can do nothing about Caprari’s penalty. A decisive intervention on Caldirola in the first half kept the Como team afloat when the score was still 0-0.
Van der Brempt 6 – Pushes continuously on the right wing, creating more than a few headaches for the Brianza defense. His performance dropped in the second half when he struggled to contain Kyriakopoulos’ attacks. From 68′ Iovine 5.5 – The warning at the end demonstrates a less than optimal management of the final minutes.
Goldaniga 6.5 – Leader of the Como rearguard, he does not give space to Djuric, winning almost all the aerial duels. Also valuable in the setting phase with precise openings for the exteriors.
Kempf 6 – Attentive and concentrated, he forms a reliable central pair with Goldaniga. A few mistakes in disengagement do not compromise a positive performance.
Moreno 6 – Orderly in the defensive phase, he appears regularly on the left flank without having a particular impact on the opponent’s half of the pitch. From 79′ Room 5.5 – The warning given to Maldini testifies to the difficulties in containing the liveliness of the Brianza attacker.
From Cunha 6.5 – Precise geometries and always correct playing times. His work as a liaison between the departments is fundamental in the Larian gaming economy.
Engelhardt 7 – The goal that unlocks the derby is the right reward for a substantial performance. Precious in both phases, he never saves himself, proving to be one of the best on the pitch.
Strefezza 6 – His technical quality creates more than a headache for the Brianza defense. Precise dribbling and crossing, he drops to distance. From 88′ Gabrielloni sv
Nico Paz 6 – His class emerges in flashes. The warning affected his performance a bit but his quality was still invaluable in the offensive manoeuvre.
Fadera 6 – He starts off well, creating more than one danger on the flank, then gradually fades away. From 68′ Verdi 6 – He enters with the right attitude, even coming close to scoring with a treacherous conclusion.
Cutrone 6 – He moves a lot for the team, creating spaces for his teammates. However, he lacks precision in his conclusions towards the goal. From the 68th minute Belotti 6.5 – His entry gives weight to the attack. In the final, he comes close to scoring the winning goal with a header that makes the Brianza fans tremble.
Cesc Fabregas 6.5 – His Como plays proactive and quality football. The changes in the second half demonstrate the desire to win the derby until the end. The team responded by confirming the quality of the work of the former Spanish midfielder.
