Final result: Roma-Venice 2-1
ROME
Svilar 7 – Avoid the worst case scenario by keeping things going. If the best Giallorossi is the goalkeeper, obviously something is wrong.
Left-handed 6.5 – He feels a pull on his right thigh, but he stays on the field as long as he can. He saves a goal that was practically scored on the goal line. From 58′ Baldanzi 6 – So much mobility increases the rate of unpredictability.
Ndicka 6 – Elegant exits, many timely closures but also little reactivity in clearing the penalty area on the crossbar hit by Busio.
Angelino 6 – He slides into the defensive trio to return to being the left arm, he isn’t a lightning strike on the net. Lead the recovery.
Celik 6 – In the absence of credible alternatives ready to use in the role, he must play practically always. It doesn’t go beyond the ordinary.
Koné 6 – The physicality is the first thing that catches the eye, he is one of the few to give a modicum of verticality but receives little collaboration. From 58′ Peas 7 – Personality entry, he comes close to equalizing twice with a header. The third is the good one: the first goal in Serie A brings the three points. He decides it as predestined.
Cristante 6 – Reduced dynamism, ball circulation is quite slow. He partially redeems himself with the equalizer shot deflected by Busio.
El Shaarawy 5.5 – Confirmed at full range to enhance his running skills, in reality Zampano doesn’t leave him much room for manoeuvre.
Soulé 5.5 – Starting due to Dybala’s less than perfect conditions, he is Joya’s alter ego but struggles to find the right position to make an impact. From 86′ Hermoso sv
Pilgrims 6 – Recovered at the last minute, he grits his teeth to respond to the whistles from the Olimpico. A nice shot just wide and the assist for Cristante. Since 80′ Paredes 6 – Kick the overtaking corner.
Dovbyk 5.5 – On fire, three goals in the last three games. Svoboda doesn’t give him any respite, denying him the depth to attack, he ends up in the cage.
Ivan Juric 6 – In the first half, the long possession of the ball does not lead to anything good and Venezia arrives in Svilar’s area too easily. He puts things right with the right readings, drawing the right changes from the deck. He achieved his second consecutive victory in the championship, in a very difficult match.
VENICE
Joronen 6 – He responds in bagher to Pellegrini and Koné, says no to El Shaarawy. On Cristante’s goal he was misled by Busio.
Candle 6 – Starting from the back he has more field to attack in progression, he finds the bottom with good continuity to go for the cross. From 84′ Gytkjaer sv
Svoboda 5.5 – He immediately warms up Svilar’s gloves, then dedicates himself to controlling Dovbyk, participating in the collective sleep on the second goal.
Idzes 5.5 – Soulé doesn’t worry him too much, having to go back every time. Rarely challenged in one-on-one situations, he is not flawless at 2-1.
Zampano 6.5 – Restarts as a four-centimer, he burns the flank without being forced onto the defensive by El Shaarawy. There is no saving.
Nicolussi Ankle 6 – Rehabilitated after the red card he received at San Siro, he made amends with an honest performance of great application. From 77′ Andersen sv
Busio 6 – Cristante cancels, shoots onto the crossbar, creating the conditions for the opening goal. Unlucky in the deviation of the 1-1.
Haps 6 – He started the season on the fringes of the Lagooners’ project, now he is an integral part of it, the advantage comes from his feet. They cancel his double.
Ellertsson 6 – He squeezes towards the center to clog up the spaces, stitches the game with interesting touches. He comes close to doubling his score, denied by Mancini. From 77′ Crnigoj sv
Oristanio 6 – He places himself a few meters behind Pohjanpalo, in a tight position to centralize and finish. It spreads panic quickly. From 77′ Doumbia sv
Pohjanpalo 6.5 – Having broken the ice in Serie A, he immediately finds an encore: repeatedly sought by his teammates, after 45′ the turnover could be higher. From 85′ Raimondo sv
Eusebio Di Francesco 6 – He prevented Roma from gaining rhythm and ended the first half deservedly ahead in relation to the opportunities produced. But in the second half the team dropped too low and was no longer able to start again frequently. The good performance remains, but also some regrets.
