Did you know?

La Lente trivia questions about this match. Tap one to see the answer.

Which Cagliari player won the most duels?

Yerry Mina, with 20 duels won. Next: Tommaso Augello 6, Gabriele Zappa 4.

A heavy 0–4 defeat does not tell the full story of individual effort. Yerry Mina reached a remarkable 20 duels won for Cagliari, more than tripling any teammate.

Which Napoli player won the most aerial duels?

Amir Rrahmani, with 6 aerial duels won. Next: Alessandro Buongiorno 3, Frank Anguissa 2.

Amir Rrahmani dominated in the air with 6 aerial duels won, doubling Alessandro Buongiorno's tally of 3. That defensive command helped Napoli secure a clean sheet in their 0–4 win.

How is the rating calculated?

The rating measures a single match: what the player produced against what they cost, compared with the average for their position in that league and season, and adjusted by position (a 70 for a forward is as hard to get as a 70 for a defender). A normal match is around 50, 70 is already very good and only one in a hundred goes above 80. It is not the NVP, which ranks the whole season.
