Pisa Vs Inter Player Ratings: Lautaro Martínez 9/10 Rated as the Nerazzurri Secures an Easy 2-0 Victory

It was a classic tale of two halves in this Serie A encounter. Inter secured a hard-fought 2-0 victory over a resilient Pisa side. The match remained deadlocked for a long time. Pisa gave a really good account of themselves in the first half, creating some decent chances but lacking the killer instinct in front of goal.

The game completely changed after the break. Inter came out with renewed purpose, and it was their star man who made the difference. The deadlock was finally broken in the 69th minute by the inevitable Lautaro Martínez, who was a constant menace throughout the match. He was just getting started.

He then sealed all three points with a second goal late in the game, capitalizing on a corner to leave the home side with no way back. What stood out to us was Inter's patience and eventual clinical execution. While Pisa will be disappointed with the result, they can take heart from a performance that frustrated the giants for over an hour. Here are the Pisa vs Inter player ratings.

Pisa Player Ratings vs Inter

Check out the Pisa player ratings for the Pisa vs Inter fixture.

Goalkeeper

Simone Scuffet - 6.5: Couldn't do much about either of the goals from close range. He made a crucial save and was generally commanding in his area, with a good high claim and a punch. His distribution was decent, especially with his long balls, but it was a tough day at the office against a top side.

Defenders

Antonio Caracciolo - 6.5: A solid, if unspectacular, performance from the captain. He made a number of crucial interceptions and clearances to keep Inter at bay for a long time. However, he picked up a yellow card and was responsible for a few fouls. He battled hard but was ultimately part of a defence that was breached twice.

Simone Canestrelli - 6.0: He was busy all game, racking up six clearances and maintaining a high pass accuracy under pressure. What stood out was his willingness to put his body on the line. Still, he was dribbled past once, and the defence he marshalled eventually crumbled. A decent effort, but not enough.

Raúl Albiol - 5.5: A difficult evening for the veteran defender. He was booked and committed three fouls before being substituted. While he made plenty of clearances, he struggled in his duels and lost possession too often. Looked a step off the pace against Inter's sharp attackers.

Midfielders

Samuele Angori - 6.0: Played for 71 minutes but struggled to make a significant impact on the game. He had very few touches and his crossing was inconsistent. He worked hard defensively but offered little going forward before being taken off. An average display.

Marius Marin - 5.5: From our perspective, this was a day to forget for Marin. He was a passenger in midfield, getting dribbled past three times and winning just one of his seven duels. He looked overwhelmed by Inter's midfield trio and couldn't get a foothold in the match at all.

Idrissa Touré - 7.5: The brightest spark in a losing side. He was everywhere. Touré created three chances, battled hard to win his duels, and was a constant source of energy. His performance was full of drive and determination. He was one of the few Pisa players who truly looked like he belonged on the same pitch as Inter.

Michel Aebischer - 6.5: A tidy performance in the middle of the park. His passing was accurate and he recovered the ball an impressive eight times. However, he also lost possession frequently and didn't provide the creative spark Pisa needed to unlock the Inter defence. A solid, workmanlike effort.

Gabriele Piccinini - 7.0: He was excellent before his substitution. Piccinini was a terrier, winning a staggering number of his duels and making four tackles. He even created a big chance for his team. We were genuinely surprised to see him taken off, as he was causing Inter real problems.

Forwards

Henrik Meister - 5.5: A frustrating outing for the attacker. He had three shots but none hit the target, and he missed a big chance that could have changed the game. He worked hard off the ball but his lack of composure in key moments was costly. He never really looked like scoring.

M'Bala Nzola - 6.5: A powerhouse performance with little to show for it. He won an incredible eight duels and was a real handful for the Inter defenders. Despite his physical dominance, he missed a big chance and his final product was lacking. A classic case of so close, yet so far.

Manager

A. Gilardino - 6.0: His game plan worked perfectly for the first hour. Pisa were organized, compact, and frustrated Inter. However, his side couldn't maintain that intensity, and once the first goal went in, there was no Plan B. The substitutions didn't change the flow of the game either.

Goalkeeper

Yann Sommer - 7.5: A very assured performance from the Swiss international. He wasn't tested often, but when he was, he was flawless. He made a crucial save just before halftime to keep the score level. His distribution was also on point, contributing to Inter's build-up play. A clean sheet and a confident display.

Defenders

Francesco Acerbi - 7.0: Rock solid at the back before his substitution. He won most of his aerial duels and made several key clearances and interceptions. The yellow card was the only blemish on an otherwise strong defensive showing. He did his job effectively.

Manuel Akanji - 7.5: What a reliable defender. His passing was almost perfect, and he made a crucial last-man tackle that likely saved a goal. While he was dribbled past a couple of times, his overall reading of the game and positioning were excellent. A classy performance.

Alessandro Bastoni - 8.0: An absolute warrior. Bastoni was immense, throwing himself into challenges and winning the majority of his duels. He made seven clearances and two successful tackles. It felt like he was everywhere, snuffing out danger before it could escalate. A truly dominant defensive display.

Midfielders

Petar Sučić - 6.0: A quiet first half for the midfielder. He was neat and tidy in possession but didn't offer much in an attacking sense. He was substituted at halftime, which felt like a tactical move to inject more creativity into the side. An unremarkable 45 minutes.

Luis Henrique - 6.5: A very safe and controlled performance. He kept the ball moving with an impressive 89% pass accuracy but rarely ventured into risky areas. He did his job without any fuss, but didn't provide the flair or penetration needed to break down Pisa in the first half.

Hakan Çalhanoğlu - 8.5: The maestro in midfield. He dictated the entire tempo of the game, with over 100 touches of the ball. His range of passing was sublime, and he was the central hub for everything Inter did well. He controlled the game with effortless ease. A masterful performance.

Nicolò Barella - 8.5: All-action, all-energy. Barella was the creative engine for Inter, creating five chances and providing the assist for the second goal. His link-up play was brilliant and he constantly drove the team forward. It was a tireless and inventive performance from one of the league's best midfielders.

Federico Dimarco - 6.5: A mixed bag from Dimarco. He was a willing runner down the left flank and sent in a barrage of crosses, but his final ball was often lacking quality. He lost possession far too many times for our liking. His work rate was high, but the execution just wasn't there today.

Forwards

Marcus Thuram - 6.5: He played the role of the foil for Martínez well. Thuram worked hard, drew fouls, and occupied the defenders, creating space for his strike partner. However, he didn't pose much of a direct goal threat himself before being substituted. A selfless but quiet game.

Lautaro Martínez - 9.0: Unquestionably the Man of the Match. He was simply on another level. Two clinical goals, six shots, and he even created three chances for his teammates. He hit the woodwork and could have easily had a hat-trick. A devastatingly effective performance from the captain. He was the difference maker.

Manager

C. Chivu - 8.0: He deserves credit for his patience. His team didn't panic when the game was goalless at halftime. He trusted his star players to deliver, and they did. The tactical setup in the second half was perfect, allowing Inter to dominate and secure a comfortable win in the end. A job well done.
