For the first time in its history, Cesena returns to Romagna from Chiavari with a clean sheet. Solitary supremacy is not a priority today.
Stocky 5.5 Insufficient with the clean sheet in Chiavari? This also happens when you show too much constant breathlessness on high outputs. You regain confidence as the minutes go by, but you need more.
Ciofì 6 Present when needed in both phases, he plays a good game of management even with one man less in his department.
Credit 6.5 He keeps the opposing offensive front at bay with his own authority, Merkaj included. Solid in the final raids of Entella.
merchant 5 First booked then expelled, with a far from inevitable foul he leaves his team in ten for a large part of the match. He loses the ranks he had earned so far.
Albertini 6.5 A lot of leg, bucking and cross for the class of ’94, which proves to be a real thorn in the side for the Ligurians. He never takes his foot off the accelerator.
From Rosa 6.5 Several shots from distance, however appreciable, ignite Cesena, which is also constantly fueled by his dribbling in the middle of the field. A lot of initiative in the first half, more in the shadows in the second half.
Saber 6.5 He recovers the ball and starts the black and white action once, twice, three times. However, he is keen to remind De Lucia of his presence directly, who is not a little busy with a fireball from a distance. (from 83′ Bumbu SV)
Cauldrons 6.5 Isolated for the first part of the match, he comes out of the locker room with the right attitude, finally starting to attack some space. He ends his performance by successfully raising his shields.
Chiarello 6.5 Not even the time to start and he cues Ferrante in a great way on a shot from the flag, whose header is powerful but unfortunately central. He continues his match well, going several times to look for the ball when it doesn’t come to him. (from 59′ Adam 6 He enters with his ten and does what he is allowed, looking for some useful pocket for his teammates.)
Ferrante 6.5 Offensive reference point of the maneuver, he constantly makes the team gain meters, creating more than one headache for De Lucia. Then left alone in the area, he churns out more than one noteworthy monologue, wasting very few balls. (from 73′ Udoh 5.5 He tries to set up on his own but slams on Parodi and his companions, blocking his impact with the match.)
Armor 5 He touches a few balls and totally isolates himself from the offensive manoeuvre, making himself harmless. The script doesn’t change in the second half, so Toscano sacrifices it to rebalance the team after the expulsion. (from 59′ Whites 5.5 Enter with the right attitude… An attitude which, however, does not hold for the remaining thirty-five minutes…)
Mister Tuscan 6.5 Prepare the match well: the first half is proof of this, with his team taking the reins of the match. He commits the cardinal sin of not replacing any of the three yellow-carded centre-backs, then going to catch the unexpected expulsion of Mercadante. Inexorably forced to protect himself, he still manages to give the formation an offensive mold despite the man less.
Cesena FC 6.5 A good first half in the home of the other leaders makes Cavalluccio gain confidence, but slowly and inevitably dies due to expulsion. However, the blackout for the black and whites did not last very long: ten of them created and undermined Entella, which only grew in the final. A big point earned.
