A real "Ivano, what did you eat?" kind of night. On the first goal he seems to want to be a show-off, on the second he can't reach it by a whisker. Reliable keeper, but this time a bit too "zen".
Marusic — 5.75
Zappacosta runs after him like he's got a souped-up scooter. He tries to hold him, but looks like someone who just finished a carbonara. Willing, but gasping for air.
Gila — 6
The cleanest at the back. Doesn't try to be a star, doesn't cause disasters. "Dirty work and home", like an honest land registry clerk.
Romagnoli — 6
Captain by presence, but not by roar. He does his job, but when Atalanta speeds up he seems to wonder: "Couldn't we have stayed 10 metres deeper?".
Nuno Tavares — 6
Alternates flashes of Formula 1 with moments of "where am I going?". But he pushes, runs, tries. He's a bit like home Wi-Fi: when it works, it works well.
Cataldi — 6
The metronome that sometimes loses the beat. Tidy, but without the spark. A "homework done neatly" kind of evening.
Taylor — 6
Runs as if he has an important appointment after the match. Plenty of running, a little less precision. But useful, always.
Dele‑Bashiru — 7
The best. Bursts, goal, personality. Looks like someone who decided: "Alright, today I'm carrying Lazio on my shoulders". And he does.
Isaksen — 5.5
Lights up, goes dark, lights up again… like a faulty lightbulb. An off night, but at least he tries.
Maldini — 6.5
The assist is pure poetry. Then he gets a bit lost, but when he touches the ball it always seems like something could happen. Elegant as a Laziale in a suit and tie in the Tribuna Tevere.
Zaccagni — 5.5
Not the usual Mattia. He seems like someone who forgot their house keys and is only thinking about that. Not very incisive.
Cancellieri — 6
Comes on and brings energy. Doesn't change the game, but at least adds a bit of spice.
Dia — 7
Devastating impact. Comes on, scores, and for a moment seems to say: "Don't worry, I've got this". If he keeps going like this he becomes the new idol of the Curva.
Noslin — n/r
Too little time to judge. Comes on, runs, waves, and leaves.
