Inter 6-2 Pisa player ratings
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer 4.5; Bisseck 6.5, De Vrij 6, Bastoni 6.5; Luis Henrique 4.5 (34′ Dimarco 8), Sucic 6 (61′ Barella 6), Zielinski 7, Mkhitaryan 7, Carlos Augusto 6.5 (80′ Akanji N/A); Lautaro Martinez 7.5 (80′ Bonny 6.5), Esposito 7 (61′ Thuram 6.5). Coach: Chivu 7.
Best Inter Player: Dimarco 8 – Changed the game entirely. One assist, one goal, and so many chances created down the left flank. He also hit the post and inspired Bonny’s goal, the fifth of the night for Inter. Absolutely sensational.
Lowest Inter Rating: Sommer and Luis Henrique 4.5 – The goalkeeper gave away Pisa’s opening goal; the Brazilian winger was unable to cause trouble from the right. No dangerous passes, no dribbles, and the substitution, even after barely 30 minutes, seemed inevitable.
Inter coach Chivu 7 – He contributed to Inter’s comeback with an early substitution. Carlos Augusto moved to the right when Dimarco replaced Luis Henrique. The grit and quality of his players did the rest. A win worthy of Pazza Inter.
Pisa (3-4-2-1): Scuffet 5; Calabresi 4, Coppola 4, Canestrelli 4; Touré 5, Marin 5.5 (46′ Akinsanmiro 5), Aebischer 5 (70′ Lorran 5), Angori 5.5 (69′ Leris 5); Moreo 7, Tramoni 4 (46′ Piccinini 4.5); Meister 5 (42′ Durosinmi 5). Coach: Gilardino 4.
Best Pisa Player: Moreo 7 – Scored a goal-of-the-season contender from over 30 years and even doubled the Tuscans’ lead in a night that seemed magical, but the dream didn’t last long.
Lowest Pisa ratings: Calabresi, Coppola, Canestrelli and Tramoni 4 – The Pisa defence was crushed by the Nerazzurri. Tramoni provided no support in attack and caused the penalty that sparked Inter’s comeback.
Pisa coach Gilardino 4 – The gap in quality between the two sides is evident, but Pisa panicked after Inter’s first goal and were unable to stop any attack from the Nerazzurri from that moment onwards. Even his substitutions didn’t quite work.
