Cagliari-Genoa 1-1

Leali 5.5: Slow to react on Viola’s goal, out of position on Coman’s post hit. Needs to improve.

Martin 7: A constant threat on the flank for Cagliari. A real workhorse.

De Winter 5.5: Missed a crucial chance to score the potential 2-1, which overshadows an otherwise decent performance.

Vasquez 6.5: Precise and clean in his play. Performs well both centrally and as a wing-back.

Norton-Cuffy 5: Lost a critical duel against Piccoli, leading to Cagliari’s opening goal.

(from 46′ Zanoli 6.5: His introduction completely changed Genoa’s dynamic. Unstoppable).

Frendrup 6: An average rating. Didn’t effectively challenge Viola in the goal-scoring opportunity in the first half, but improved in the second.

Badelj 6: Controlled the midfield throughout the first half. Substituted as a precaution after receiving a yellow card in the second half.

(from 52′ Masini 6: Broke up play effectively when needed. Successfully carried out his assigned task).

Miretti 7: Improved as the game progressed. His vision led to the equalizing goal. Dominated the midfield in the second half.

Ekhator 5: The weak link in Genoa’s attack. Often late in his movements.

(from 66′ Matturro 6: Provided defensive cover for the team when required).

Ekuban 6.5: His run and play led to the momentary equalizing goal. Forced to be substituted due to an ankle injury.

(from 52′ Pinamonti 5.5: Worked hard but never posed a significant threat).

Cornet 7: Found himself in the right place at the right time. Scored the goal that earned a valuable point.

(from 75′ Malinovskyi 5.5: Returned to the field after a long injury layoff but didn’t make a difference).

Coach Vieira 6: Like in school, did just enough without overexerting. Progressing step by step towards the goal of staying in the league. A valuable point.
