Report cards.
SAVA 6: Empoli is hardly ever dangerous. Careful when called upon.
EHIZIBUE 6: Sometimes he is not perfect in passing, but defensively he makes no mistakes. From 73′ RUI MODESTO 6: enters when the game is already decided, he helps in possession and does not make any smears.
BIJOL 7: Commands the Bianconeri defense and makes several key closures. He also pushes himself in attack this afternoon, but can’t find the way to the goal: that would have been the icing on the cake.
SOLET 7: Always impeccable. Plays very quietly (at times perhaps too much) and in the first half saves a goal with a very important slip. Veteran if recently arrived.
KAMARA 6+: Runs up the flank and back to defend. Never quits.
ATTA 6+: Absolute star first half, then wanes a bit in the second half perhaps also due to fatigue. A thorn in the side for opponents. From 63′ PAYERO 6: Serves the assist to Thauvin on the occasion of the third Friulian goal.
LOVRIC 6.5: Always in the thick of the game. In midfield he manages the maneuver and retrieves balls. From 81′ BRAVO: S.V.
KARLSTROM 6.5: Although he does not take the spotlight, the Udinese midfielder is instrumental in maintaining order, pressing and more…
EKKELENKAMP 8: Couldn’t have confirmed better after the beautiful goal against Napoli. This afternoon he raises the bar and scores a brace. Besides the goals, the Dutch player is always in the thick of the game to help his teammates. From 73′ SANCHEZ 6: He wants to break the world and it shows. Unfortunately, the goal did not come today either, but the Nino Maravilla delights the audience with quality plays.
THAUVIN 7: To understand what it means to “give everything for the jersey,” just review his game. He runs everywhere, tireless and scores the goal that ends the game. A great captain.
LUCCA 6+: No goal came today, only a post. However, the Friulans’ bomber struggles with the defense and is good at holding balls to get the team up. From 81′ PAFUNDI: S.V.
RUNJAIC 7: We needed to replicate the performance in Naples. Well, three goals, three points and a team that plays coordinated and is orderly on the pitch…we can say his boys succeeded.
