FINAL RESULT OF THE MATCH: MANTOVA-PISA 2-3.
MANTUA
Party 6 – He was not to blame for Pisa’s goals, but on the occasion of the 1-0 he was surprised by the incredible carambola inside the area.
Radaelli 5 – Unlucky on the occasion of the opponent’s first goal, his clearance hits Tourè and leads to Angori’s goal. For the rest of the match, Moreo suffers in a significant way. (From 78′ Ruocco SV – Very unlucky, he enters and after 7 minutes is forced to leave the field in tears due to injury).
Cell 6 – The best of the red and white rearguard, punctual in his interventions and does not make gross errors, unlike his teammates.
De Maio 5 – He makes a serious mistake in disengagement which gives rise to Lind’s 2-0 action. A player with his experience should never fall into these trivial carelessness. In general, he plays a constantly struggling match.
Bani 5.5 – He too isn’t precise when setting up, from one of his questionable horizontal passes Pisa comes close to making it 3-0 in the first half with Piccinini. The Tuscans’ counterattacks suffer quite a bit.
Trimboli 6 – He plays a good match in midfield, in the second half he also comes close to scoring with a nice shot from the edge of the area.
Items 5.5 – He was called upon to replace the injured Burrai and he did so in an excellent way, Mantova’s midfield maintained control of the game throughout the match.
Bragantini 6.5 – In the first few minutes he is particularly dull, then he starts to show his qualities and serves a great assist to Mancuso, after the great exchange with Mensah. One of the most active of his team. (From 78′ Flowers 6.5 – He spreads panic on the left wing and Mantua’s biggest chances come from his crosses towards the end).
Mancuso 7.5 – Beautiful brace from the red and white number 19 and in particular the goal that made it 2-2. He almost gets a hat-trick with another masterpiece, only the crossbar manages to stop him. (From 71′ Galuppini 5.5 – He doesn’t enter very well, he misses several balls).
Wieser 6 – Too light between the lines and never finds the right spark in the first half, in the second half however the pace of his match increases and often gets noticed. (From 63′ Fedel 6 – He almost finds the equalizer in the 90th minute).
Mensah 5.5 – Author of (a few) excellent flashes such as on the occasion of the exchange with Bragantini, which led to Mancuso’s first goal. He is also the author of many moments in which he gets into great difficulty with the Pisa defensive trio. (From 71′ Debenedetti 6.5 – He came close to scoring on two occasions, particularly on the second, and also came close to scoring the goal of the year).
Davide Possanzini 6 – His team started very badly in the first half with two goals conceded after 12 minutes. Then with his usual control of the game he found the equalizer thanks to Mancuso and finally conceded the goal to make it 2-3, with a stunning goal from Moreo. His performances, technical errors aside, were truly the best.
PISA
Always 6 – He too can do little about the opponents’ goals, in the second half he makes a great save on Radaelli’s shot from outside the area.
Caracciolo 6 – He is always attentive, rarely loses his defensive balance, on goals, there are more merits of the opponents than demerits of the rearguard.
Canestrelli 6 – Mensah doesn’t give up for a moment, deservedly winning the match against the opposing attacker.
G. Bonfanti 5.5 – He played a good match overall, but at 2-2 he was too soft on Mancuso who easily found the space to finish.
Touré 6 – It ends up almost involuntarily in the action of Angori’s 1-0, with a decisive rebound in favor of his teammate. Then he leads a decent match until his replacement. (From 53′ Calabresi 5.5 – From Fiori’s entrance he began to get into serious difficulty, even receiving a warning).
Marine 6 – His was a physical and expensive match, in which he also touched the net from outside the area. After receiving the yellow card, Inzaghi leaves him in the locker room at half-time. (From 46′ Hojholt 6 – It continues along the lines of the work previously carried out by Marin).
Piccinini 6.5 – Many insertions and a lot of running as always since the beginning of the season, by one of the revelation players of Inzaghi’s team.
Angles 7 – He scores the 1-0 goal with a lot of cynicism and on the left flank he is the undisputed master of all duels. Great performance by the class of 2003. (From 81′ Beruatto SV)
Moreo 8 – A perfect assist for Lind first and a fantastic goal following a suggestion from Lind himself, who returns the favor to number 32. the real key factor of this match. (From 81′ Abildgaard SV)
Arena 6.5 – He is there in every dangerous action played by Pisa, when he has the ball at his feet his team creates problems for the opposing defence. He recovers the ball from which Lind’s 2-0 action starts. (From 70′ Tramoni 6 – He returns to the field after the injury and we can see that he is still not at his best).
Lind 7.5 – Goal as a true striker in the first half, he always plays according to whoever is behind him and Moreo’s goal for the 3-2 goal is proof of this.
Filippo Inzaghi 6.5 – It wasn’t easy to get back up after the two stops in the previous rounds. His team approaches this match in the best possible way, but once again falls into the nightmare of a comeback, but then takes home 3 points of incalculable importance.
