Final result: Monza-Udinese 1-2
MONZA
Turati 6 – His performance is characterized by a series of ordinary interventions that denote safety between the posts. On Lucca’s goal he was surprised by the precision of the header, while on Bijol’s conclusion the attempted deflection with his heel was not enough to avoid the goal. Overall a sufficient but not brilliant performance.
Izzo 6 – His experience emerges in key moments of the match, with precious recoveries and timely advances that allow the team to restart. In the second half he stood out for an excellent intervention that triggered Caprari’s action, demonstrating great timing in his defensive interventions. Flaw in some closures.
Pablo Marí 5.5 – His performance is conditioned by some uncertainties in defensive closures, especially in containing Lucca’s physicality which often puts him in difficulty. In the second half he grew in authority but it wasn’t enough to avoid the two goals conceded.
Carbons 5.5 – His performance is conditioned by some uncertainties in defensive closures. A couple of offensive sorties do not produce the desired effects and he is replaced to give more weight to the attack. From 70′ Mota 6 – His entry brings liveliness to the attack and he comes close to scoring with a header that hits the crossbar. His speed puts the Friulian defense in difficulty.
Pedro Pereira 6 – On the right wing he alternates good play with moments of less clarity. He comes close to scoring with a shot deflected for a corner by Giannetti but overall his push isn’t continuous. From 70′ Birindelli 6 – Enters with the right attitude, providing an excellent assist for Djuric which is not completed.
Bondo 6.5 – In the heart of midfield he is appreciated for his dynamism and ability to insert himself. He comes close to scoring with a shot from the edge that worries Sava. His running is valuable in both phases.
White 6 – His direction is tidy but not always incisive. He comes close to scoring with a nice volley. Lacks continuity in managing possession.From 78′ Sensi 5.5 – He fails to make an impact in the tense final part of the match.
Kyriakopoulos 7 – His goal, which was worth the momentary equaliser, is the culmination of a substantial performance. Constant thorn in the side of the Friulian defense with his sharp crosses. The best of his.
Maldini 5.5 – His performance is not fully convincing, struggling to find the right spaces to make an impact. Some interesting ideas but too little to make a difference. He exits amidst boos from the audience. Since ’84 Maric sv
Caprari 5.5 – Alternate quality play with moments of less clarity. His technique is not enough to change the fate of the match. Too discontinuous. From 78′ Forson 5.5 – Fails to leave his mark in the final minutes.
Djuric 6 – His physical presence creates problems for the Friulian defense. He came close to scoring with a header neutralized by a great save from Sava. All he needs is a goal for a more convincing performance.
Alessandro Nesta 5.5 – His team shows good game patterns but lacks in the execution phase. The changes in the second half did not have the desired effect in achieving the equalizer. The defense continues to suffer too much.
