First Half Analysis
On points, in particular for the good ending, Pisa was better than Verona, who also appeared to be in obvious physical difficulty. Same forms but different interpreters. At the start, Paolo Sammarco’s new Verona and Oscar Hiljemark’s Pisa do not change their tactical attitude, but there are seven changes, both on the Venetian and Tuscan sides, compared to the previous championship match. A great opportunity arrives on the dead ball. On Lovric’s corner, the Pisa defense forgets about Orban at the far post, but the home attacker creates a barber figure by sensationally missing the ball.

Second Half Analysis
A first half that, honestly, has a lot of cadence anticipation. At the start of the second half, the technicians try to give some indications. A limping Bernede comes out for Serdar, but Sammarco also chooses the more offensive Bradaric for Frese. Hiljemark takes away Durosinmi’s size for a more mobile Leris. The changes, however, had no effect. Lots of technical errors, little personality on both fronts, lots of competitive spirit, but almost always absent quality in the play.
Verona-Pisa
As the minutes passed, the teams stretched out, and there would be room to do things badly, but for the first full hour of play, no shots, neither from Verona nor from Pisa, were on target. It is the guests who try to deliver the final blow. First, Montipò was pardoned by the post following Moreo’s header, then the yellow and blue goalkeeper was fundamental in repelling Caracciolo’s subsequent effort without fail.
