BORUSSIA - Analysis

MARCO SEMINO
His goalkeeping has often come to the Pars rescue, and last night performance was absolutely no exception. He pulled off a number of great saves, with his hands, feet, thigh, chest, whatever.
No responsibilities whatsoever about Borussia's goals, Marco is basically indispensible for his team.

FABIO FRASSINELLI
Once again, he ran the defensive pack with his grit, determination and skills. Snuffed out a number of attacks and cleared the lines effectively. Top-notch defending.

GIUSEPPE BUTTITTA
He did well alongside Fabio. He does have a bit of a tendency to foul his opponents a wee bit too often, but his physical presence is second to none and he made his contribution felt on the night.

DAVIDE FILIPPI
Fernandez was a surprise sub, whilst most would've expected him to start. When he came on, though, he handled things extremely well just as usual, proving crucial in blocking shots and runs from the opponents.

ALDO MARLETTA
Not his best game to date, as he lost his man on the 3-2 goal and his free kicks were not as sharp as usual. However, he notched another 2 goals, to bring his season tally to 12 and gift the Pars some relief at a very edgy stage of the game with his 4-2 low drive

MATTEO BOVALINO
Man of the match, by all standards. He ran, passed the ball intelligently and scored a superb goal with his right-footed volley on the juggle. Welcome back to the starting lineup after a couple of games starting as a sub, his partnership with Clegg is as effective as ever.

ANDREA BORREANI
He was given his first start for The Pars since fracturing his ankle back in November. He was the object of a few too many bad tackles flying in from the opponents, but his technique is absolutely out of question. He set up two goals, for Clegg & Bova to coolly finish. Massive addition to the side.

MARCO CANTELLI
Deployed as the lone striker, his presence was missed a few yards back, where he can cause more havoc. In spite of that, he still managed to create a number of openings which tore Borussia's back two apart.
Scored yet another wonderful goal to establish Dunfermline in the lead and was unlucky on another couple of occasions.

ALESSIO DI NOTO
Dino's performance was marked by his intelligent corner-kick, which found Clegg outside the area to make it 4-2 and finish the opposition off. Not quite as brilliant as usual, he kept the ball and allowed his team-mates more options.

GAFFER LUIGI VANIN
He surprised many by fielding an altered side following the triumph against Le Café. Even so, his team responded in terms of results, albeit not performances, but it's 9 in a row now and no one can question his handling of the players.

REFEREE PARODI
He didn't use his cards enough, which may have lead to a few injuries. His judgements on a few free-kicks were not entirely comprehensible, however he did not affect either the run of play or the final score.
