Spal shows individual progress but continues to suffer in defense, compromising results despite good performances.

GALEOTTI 5,5. The goal is the only shot he has to thwart. Should it have gone out? He takes a step and then stops, but the ball seems high and long. Could he have done better on the header that hits the ground? Maybe.

ARENA 5,5. He does well in headers and marking, but not in support, and the corner that led to the goal was the result of a huge mistake on an easy ball.

BRUSCAGIN 5. Moretti gets completely lost on the corner. Behind Spal he doesn't know how to mark and always concedes goals from set pieces.

CORNFLOWER 6. Nerves on edge, but it doesn't do any damage.

CALAPAI 6. He played a decent game, running well and putting in a few crosses.

AWUA 6. He recovers many balls backwards and makes up for his mistakes in the set-up, which are not very few but not too many either.

NADOR 6. Together with Awua he confirms the physicality and aggressiveness of a midfield that is now more warlike than refined, in keeping with the category.

TENTS 6. He never plays but when he replaces Mignanelli he always manages with humility. This time he even allows himself an "elastico" on the wing.

SPINS 7 (pictured on the occasion of the goal). He follows up the small progress shown in Sassari with a more decisive move up the pitch, breaking the net with his first goal and giving impetus to the offensives. He also avoids a goal in retreat.

MILL 5,5. He struggles, chases everyone, recovers balls. It's normal that his effectiveness suffers: in fact, he wastes two possible opportunities. But what do you say to him? That's it.

PARISIANS 6,5. Good race, even if sometimes he is a bit clumsy. He drags well but he also needs to be more concrete.

EL KADDOURI 6. He sets up Rao for the goal with a stroke of genius. At his pace, he has the shots.

RAO 5. He misses the 2-1 on Elka's simple but magical assist, repeating Sassari's mistakes.

ANTENUCCI 6. On the day that the curve dedicates to him, a weak shot and a couple of lay-offs.

OF HORACE 6. Not bad, he revives Spal in the final.

ZAMMARINI n.

GAUZOLINO 5. Imprecise, permissive, indecisive about everything.

BALDINI 6. Confirms those of Sassari, also giving physical tone and aggression to Spal, which is now doing well and can compete with anyone. However, it never wins because it is difficult to score goals and too many are conceded.
