Always a masterclass: four penalties saved. Moreo's cutting and pasting is always essential.

CALABRESI 6 Defensively committed, with a refined foot when he comes forward to support the play. He receives two tactical yellows, earning a record: his first red card of the season.

CARACCIOLO 5.5 He excels in the body to body with Shpendi but still shows a bit of difficulty in the build-up phase of the maneuver.

CANESTRELLI 6 His reading of high balls is near perfection, as is his positioning in preventative marking and coverage. However, he needs to be even more involved in the build-up play with his foot.

TOURÈ 6 He's already pushing like a dream despite only being his first competitive outing of the season. It's a shame about the penalty he kicked sky-high.

MARIN 5.5 The Romanian-Pisan player does not lack personality, and his precision in providing support for his teammates will come hand in hand with his improved condition.

AKINSANMIRO 6 Physicality and competitive spirit when the game required these factors. Excellent impact with the Nerazzurri.

AEBISCHER 6 In one fell swoop, he dons the accountant's clothes, wields the blacksmith's hammer, and wields the finisher's nib. Add to that an incredible physical appearance, and you get the Swiss man's identikit.

ANGORI 6 Lots of resourcefulness on the left lane, with some interesting balls proposed into the opponent's area.

LERIS 6 Welcome back Mehdi. Eleven months after your terrible injury, seeing you back on the pitch is the happiest news of the evening.

NZOLA 6 He deserved half a point less for the goal he missed just minutes after coming on. However, he made up for it by scoring the penalty that sent Pisa into the round of 32.

TRAMONI 5.5 The "diamond" remains in the shadows. Only in the first half does he make a statement with a couple of central bursts.

CUADRADO 6 He presents himself to the Pisa fans with a "chocolate" that Nzola inexplicably throws in the bin.

LIND 5.5 Wet powder for the Nerazzurri "rhinoceros", literally annihilated by Zaro.

GILARDINO 6 Ball circulation, courage in play, and aggression on the opposition lines. These are the three pillars on which the "violinist" has based his summer training: perhaps due to the heavy physical demands, but also to the contingent absence of key players from the starting lineup, Pisa's performance at the "Manuzzi" left several inaccuracies on the pitch, giving the impression that there's still much work to be done. But it couldn't be otherwise: we're only at the beginning of the journey.
