FCS grades | The scorers weren't the best

Poluzzi 7,5 No chance with the two goals conceded. The save against Mirco Antenucci in the 82nd minute was outstanding and was celebrated like a goal.

De Col 6 Returned to the defensive back four and therefore acted much more defensively. He held back from offensive advances. Standing quite far away from assist provider Giacomo Ricci on the cross before the 2-2 score.

Zaro 6 The absence of Andrea Masiello was definitely noticeable in the FCS defense. Without the man next to him, Zaro, who had been outstanding in the end, had one or two wobbles, but in the end he pulled himself out of the affair honorably.

Curto 6 Had to replace Andrea Masiello in central defense, which is a challenge. Like his defensive colleague Zaro, he showed some insecurities, but didn't make any serious mistakes. Characteristic of his somewhat changeable performance: in the finish he saved from a dangerous cross from Ruben Botta, then he acted too casually and almost made it 2-3.

Berra 5 Admittedly, Eddie Salcedo's volley to make it 2-2 was a world-class goal. But Berra allowed the Inter loan striker to shoot completely unchallenged. He watched inactively as Salcedo took measurements and hit the ball into the net. Unforgivable.

Tait 7:XNUMX Half a grade deducted because he lost the duel against Valerio Di Cesare when Bari scored. But he was able to celebrate his first Serie B goal in Bari, although he had to wait almost 4 minutes before the referee declared the goal valid after a VAR check.

Nicolussi Caviglia 7 Confirmed his strong form in Bari too. Distributed the balls with clarity in midfield, no longer a trace of fear in duels. Initiated the South Tyrolean lead with one of his sugar passes. In this condition, the 22-year-old would probably be a regular player in all 20 Serie B clubs.

Belardinelli 7,5 Skillfully prepared both FCS goals. Before the 1-0 win, he managed to keep a ball in play that had already been thought lost out of goal and then served captain Tait in an exemplary manner. The cross also came from him for the second South Tyrolean goal.

Rover 7 He actually deserved an 8, but the miss in the 53rd minute was serious. Alone in front of Bari keeper Elia Caprile, he aimed past the near corner. It would have been 3-1 for FC Südtirol. His performance in the first half was simply outstanding. First as a tenth behind the two leaders, then as a right winger, he repeatedly attacked Bari. Only the post prevented a dream goal in the 11th minute.

Odogwu 7 He achieved very little until the 37th minute. But then he made it 2-0 with his head and celebrated his 5th goal of the season. Because Bari's Raffaele Pucino was on the ground during the action, the cheering was subdued. It wasn't until late that he raised his arms because he wasn't sure at first whether the hit counted. The FCS top scorer had his second big appearance 8 minutes after the break when, in his usual style, he simply left the opponents standing and Rover made it 3-1.

Matzocchi 6 His winning duel against Raffaele Pucino led to Raphael Odogwu making it 2-0, but otherwise the former Atalanta youth striker fell somewhat short of expectations. Lost some dangerous balls in midfield.

Casiraghi 5,5 Came on for Matteo Rover after 68 minutes, but was unable to provide any impetus this time. The offensive artist remained pale. In the 76th minute he had some space and shot in a promising position - the keeper saved easily, a player with his qualities should have made more of it.

Carretta without a note Was substituted in the 80th minute and narrowly missed making it 3-2 after a wonderful solo. The scene alone when he let two Bari defenders out with one dribble was almost worth the price of admission.

Pompetti without a note Like Mirko Carretta, came on in the last 10 minutes to increase the quality in midfield.

Bisoli 7 Only sat in the stands, but once again the team had a great attitude - with Matteo Rover hanging between the lines. Nobody can say whether FC Südtirol would have defended the 3 points given the 2-0 lead with Coach Bisoli (and his shouting) on the sidelines. Leandro Greco and Danilo Chiodi replaced the suspended FCS coach as best they could. For Greco, who suffered 3 defeats in 3 games as interim coach, it was at least the first point win in Serie B.
