GALEOTTI 6. On his return, he gets beaten by the first cross and then is inactive for a long time. But he saves the result on Masala's free kick.

BRUSCAGIN 6. Not without a few mistakes, he does quite well as a right centre-back in Baldini's 3-4-3.

ARENA 6,5. He towers well in the area and also sets up decently, on his return from injury. He has a chance from the penalty spot and kicks it into the sky.

CORNFLOWER 6. Like Bruscagin, on the left.

CALAPAI 6. Sufficient on Liviero. After Guiebre he leaves, but he is injured and goes out.

AWUA 6. Decent, net of the usual loss that in the first half gives Torres a counterattack. He runs and intercepts, trying hard to participate. He also shoots, powerful but imprecise.

NADOR 6. He plays the role of midfield magnet well, stumbling in his style but creating and losing fewer balls than other times. Definitely better than in defense.

MIGNANELLI 5. He doesn't set up well, suffers from Varela and also kicks corners badly, all low to the near post and easy prey for the opponents. He is the most used and perhaps he is tired.

PARISIANS 5. He puts in a lot of effort to run and get going, but his initiatives never come to fruition.

MILL 6,5. We are certainly not talking about a phenomenon, but if you ask yourself what use is a 9 when he doesn't score goals, his Sassari is a small manual. He fights, elbows, wins back, but he also creates for his teammates and even throws in a bastard note. He is not lightning fast in finishing, no.

THORNS 6. His best in Spal. Nothing special, but he is alive, has initiative, recovers in defense. Too bad he is physically light and easy to move, and lacks power in shooting.

RAO 4. He comes on half an hour from the end, has 4 goal opportunities, 2 of which are huge, and he eats them all. Spal could have won. Unrecognizable, in the second half of the season.

ZAMMARINI 6. He stands on Guiebre and plays full-back. He is tough, but he doesn't back down.

ANTENUCCI and D'ORAZIO ng. They enter at 88'.

ALDI 5. He denies Spal a sensational penalty.

BALDINI 6,5. He opts to practically mirror Torres and this time he is right.
