Udinese’s report cards
Maduka OKOYE 6 – A performance without a mark: he never has to intervene, Monza does not create dangers.
Nehuen PEREZ 6 – Concrete, pays little attention to the subtle but is effective in his interventions.
Lautaro GIANNETTI 6.5 – One of the best on the pitch: he makes very few mistakes. Decisive and concrete in the defensive phase.
Thomas KRISTENSEN 5.5 – A few too many problems with the ball at his feet: he tends to mess up.
Roberto PEREYRA 5.5 – He returns to the starting line-up and fails to make an impact: in the right lane he is stuck to the tracks. He is booked: he will miss Juventus. (From 57 ‘Kingsley EHIZIBUE 6-he puts in his leg and desire, but without giving continuity).
Sandi LOVRIC 6.5 – You don’t see much in the offensive zone, but he’s good at the dirty work: especially in the second half he’s a factor in non-possession phases.
WALACE 6 – Good in the interdiction phase, not so good with the ball at his feet: hasty choices, with a couple of conclusions that don’t make much sense.
Martin PAYERO 5.5 – Not very involved in the maneuver, he has a chance to hit but he shoots badly. Not very convinced. (From 68 ‘Lazar SAMARDZIC 6-Tries to make an impact, even if he fails to give much to the cause).
Jordan ZEMURA 6 – Tends to come on and off, but shows some interesting ideas with the ball and chain. (From 68′ Hassane KAMARA 6 – Poor intensity in the last half hour of the match).
Florian THAUVIN 6.5 – A great first half, one of the best versions of Udine’s Thauvin: quality, opportunities, desire. He goes off a bit in the second half. (From 88′ BRENNER SV)
Lorenzo LUCCA 6 – He tries in every way in the first half, especially from outside, but hits Di Gregorio. He also drops in the second half.
Coach Gabriele CIOFFI 5.5 – Udinese would have deserved the victory, the fact is that two points are gone. Now the situation risks getting complicated.

Monza report cards
Michele DI GREGORIO 7 – The best on the pitch by detachment. He nullifies Udinese’s attempts, especially in the first half, and gives his team a point.
Danilo D’AMBROSIO 6 – He’s stuck behind and plays a careful game, without mistakes: effective in interventions. (From 82′ Armando IZZO SV)
Pablo MARÌ 6.5 – Super closure in the first half on Lucca, with a header from a splendid ball from Thauvin. But not only that: it is always effective.
Luca CALDIROLA 5.5 – A couple of good interventions, but in general he suffers quite a bit against Lucca. (From 46 ‘Andrea CARBONI 6-Not too attentive to aesthetics, he manages to make effective interventions).
Samuele BIRINDELLI 6 – Sharp, difficult for the opponents. He plays a concrete, effective game. (From 57′ Alessio ZERBIN 6-A couple of times he ventures towards the opponent’s area, but he lacks concreteness).
Warren BONDO 6 – A very tough nut to crack. When an opponent with the ball comes near him, he starts biting his ankles. He must be careful about excesses of impetuosity.
Matteo PESSINA 6 – Plays a game of sacrifice without the ball, doing a great job.
Patrick CIURRIA 5.5 – He also sacrifices a lot, the problem is that when he has the ball he has little clarity and makes too many mistakes.
Andrea COLPANI 5.5 – He struggles to emerge. He doesn’t have much of the ball at his feet and doesn’t make an impact. (From 57′ Valentin CARBONI 6 – We don’t see much).
Milan DJURIC 5.5 – The first match with the Monza shirt was complicated: he had to elbow his way and had few balls available.
Mota CARVALHO 5 – Too imprecise. He has few playable balls and rarely manages to complete the play. (From 73′ Pedro PEREIRA SV)
Coach Raffaele PALLADINO 5.5 – Disappointing match for Monza. The result in the end is good, but difficult to give a passing grade.
