FCS grades | The double goalscorer outshines everything

Poluzzi 6,5 After the game, Bisoli spoke of a strong save on Viola's free kick, which led to the 1-1 equalizer. But the FCS keeper should have defended the ball better. Instead, he deflected the ball forward and made the goal possible. After the break, however, he kept the FCS alive with some brilliant deeds. Lapadula's header save was spectacular.

Curto 6,5 Had to go out injured at halftime. Now the White and Reds hope that he will be fit in time for Bari. Was used again as a right wing-back in the 4-4-2 system and put in a confident performance. However, when Poluzzi's rebound at 1-1, he lacked the necessary determination in the penalty area.

Zaro 7 Decisive in the game again. Practically acted as an additional center forward in the final minutes. Cagliari keeper Radunovic deflected his header in the 94th minute with a mega-footed save to Odogwu, who made the final score.

Masiello 6 Had two extremely unpleasant opponents in Lapadula and Falco. Especially when the former Red Star Belgrade striker switched to the right wing, the veteran found it more difficult than expected. As usual, he was confident in the center – until the 72nd minute, when he conceded the penalty against Lapadula.

D'Orazio 6 In the first half he was a constant threat to the visitors on the wing. He took the early lead with a strong start. After the break nothing worked anymore. Cagliari kept breaking through on the right, the FCS left side became a weak point - Bisoli reacted and took him off the pitch.

De Col 6 Very active on the right wing, but sometimes lacked the necessary quality. Cluttered 2 flanks that could have been potentially dangerous. I was also looking for closure myself. Like D'Orazio, he had to go out after 58 minutes because FCS couldn't come out from behind against Cagliari.

Tait 6,5:XNUMX Started in midfield and finished the game as right wing-back. When he let Lapadula get out after 20 minutes, there was applause. Fought until he dropped, even an injury at the finish couldn't stop the captain. His burst of energy in the 4th minute of stoppage time led to the 2-2 equalizer when he moved from the right side to the middle and played the ball into the penalty area, where Zaro and Odogwu did the rest.

Nicolussi Caviglia 6,5 The pivotal point in the FCS game in the first half. His ball win and dream pass for Pippo De Col in the 31st minute: a feast for the eyes. After the break, the Juventus talent struggled against the concentrated quality of the Sardinians around Rog, Nandez and Viola. The yellow card after 67 minutes hampered him even more, so coach Bisoli preferred to bring Marco Pompetti on the six. You can't expect 90 minutes of quality football from a player who has been injured for two years.

Rover 7,5 By far the best player on the Bolzano green in the first half. His appearances on the left flank caused the highly decorated Cagliari professionals to despair. Shined as an assist in Odogwu's 1-0 win. In the second half he moved to the right side and caused a sensation there. Quite strong considering that he is not fully fit and has not yet overcome his foot injury.

Matzocchi 6,5 It may be true that a striker is measured by goals. However, Mazzocchi's pressing, running work and fighting ability are worth their weight in gold for FC Südtirol. Was involved in the FCS opening goal and also missed the 2-0 goal with his header.

Odogwu 8 Scored the first brace in Serie B and was rightly named man of the match in the end. He headed Rover's cross into the net in the best goalscoring style. When the score was 2-2, he drew the Cagliari defenders in the penalty area towards him, so that Zaro was free to head the ball after his preparatory work. Radunovic still remained the winner, but he had no chance when Odogwu's follow-up shot.

Berra 6 Replaced Curto at the break and, after replacing D'Orazio, switched to the left in Cagliari's greatest pressure phase in order to stabilize the defense.

Belardinelli 6 Is not in top form and was therefore, somewhat surprisingly, not in the starting eleven. Came on as a substitute in the 58th minute and played half-right in midfield in a 4-5-1 formation. Made his contribution.

Casiraghi 6 For once not decisive in the game. But his presence alone was enough to make Cagliari more cautious.

Bisoli 7 In the finish, after his team's equalizer, he lost his nerve and took on Lapadula, then Nandez. He was shown a red card for this and will now miss the away game against Bari. However, if FC Südtirol continues to play like this, then any freak out will be forgiven. Bisoli won't change - he lives the game, like a player on the pitch, like a twelfth man. Bisoli is FC Südtirol – and FC Südtirol is Bisoli.
