FCS grades: Horror show with only one bright spot

The FCS grades at a glance:

Dragon 4,5 The season debut turned into a horror show. The 45-year-old conceded 23 goals in 3 minutes. Then there was the hair-raising mistake that led to the penalty. After the break he made 2-3 smaller saves. All in all, however, a debut that could hardly have gone worse.

Kofler 6 Kofler came into defence for Giorgini and justified his nomination. The 19-year-old already seems as experienced as an old hand. He saved the 0-3 after a Pietrangeli error.

Another one of the best: Raphael Kofler.

Pietrangeli 5 Somewhat surprisingly, the summer newcomer was allowed to play for Ceppitelli. He tried to bring his physicality into play, but was unsuccessful.

Masiello 5,5 Masiello was the anchor point of the FCS defense for much of the game, but he lost the decisive header before the first goal. This circumstance prevented him from getting a positive rating. He also picked up a yellow card at the end after a foul out of frustration, which could have been avoided.

Rover 5,5 Busy on the right wing, but without any decisive actions. Appeared dangerously in the home team's penalty area a few times in the early stages, but not much more after that.

Molina 5,5 Moved from the wing to the double six next to Arrigoni. The position is nothing new for the experienced player. The mistake before the first goal was a serious one, when he completely lost sight of the goalscorer Pontisso.

Arrigoni 6 The pacesetter in the FCS midfield. He runs through his program in every match without shining. You can't expect miracles from him, but he is consistency personified.

Simone Davi 5,5 He kept driving the game forward on the left side. However, his efforts fizzled out at the edge of the penalty area. On a personal level, the Leiferer is on the way back to his old strength after his injury break.

Praszelik 5 The Pole was allowed to play alongside Casiraghi at number ten, but was a disappointment across the board. His game lacked pace and he slacked off on the few offensive moves he made. He has not been able to take advantage of the injury breaks of his colleagues Tait and Mallamo (so far).

Casiraghi 6 Had to go off early again, although the FCS creative spirit at least showed some enthusiasm for the game. The cross to Odogwu after the early deficit was perfect.

Odogwu 5,5 Who knows how the game would have turned out if the FCS striker had used the first big chance to equalize at 1:1. But because that wasn't the case, the Italian-Nigerian doesn't get a positive rating either. Despite this, he was - thanks to his outstanding physique - the most noticeable FCS offensive player.

Merkai 5 Came on at half-time but was unable to make any impact. The Albanian has been a disappointment in his second Serie B season so far.

Crespi5,5 Visibly tried hard after being substituted. He won what appeared to be a penalty, which was disallowed after a VAR review.

Zedadka 5 Came again as a joker, but this time didn't stand out.

Vimercati without note Celebrated his Serie B debut on the left wing. The quarter hour of playing time was too short to give a rating.

Martini without note Came on for Molina in the last 10 minutes.

Valentine 5 This match will be criticized. He cannot be blamed for the absence of Poluzzi and Tait. It can happen that a goalkeeper with no experience in Serie B makes mistakes. But he will have to explain why Valente completely restructured the defense. Molina did not really work in the center. Ceppitelli was a risk factor, which is probably why he stayed out. Nevertheless, the team seemed unsettled.
