LAS CUEVAS - Analysis

LEONARDO PERUGINI
His debut came against the only side capable of defeating The Pars on the pitch, and doubts were raised as Semino proved an influential figure inside the dressing room and, more importantly, on the pitch.
However, Leo produced the finest of performances to deny Las Cuevas and could only watch the ball hitting the back of the net when it did. No responsibilities on that, and plenty of goalkeeping quality when called upon. The Pars may have found a new asset.

FABIO FRASSINELLI
There must be some reasons to justify the fact Dunfermline's defence is the best of the league group. Once again, he used his marking and tactical awareness to snuff out attacks, and then turned into stand-in manager at half time, decisively contributing to the coasting to victory.

DAVIDE FILIPPI
Pace and tackling are in amongst his most recognisable skills, and he once again fully used them to partner Frassi in the first half and Buttitta in the second. As for Frassinelli, there must be some reasons to justify the fact Dunfermline have conceded the fewest goals in the league.

GIUSEPPE BUTTITTA
There must be some reasons to justify etc... Giuseppe produced yet another brilliant performance, staking his claim for more regular first team football, which he's getting, though.
He's a reliable and trustworthy defender, definitely.

MATTEO BOVALINO
His delivery for Cantelli's 18th of the season was absolutely magnificent. Moreover, he constantly helped his side in midfield and produced a number of fine passes upfront, notably he contributed to Buccianti's opener in quite some style. Man of the match.

ALDO MARLETTA
Away games, he fires from all positions and slots. Home games, his shooting is often restrained to a few chances. He took three free-kicks and converted one of those into the 2-0 goal.
Took a few corner-kicks which proved dangerous enough, and that let alone, he was left to battle it out against Las Cuevas' midfielders.

ANDREA BORREANI
His running was sparkling and caused a few too many problems to the opponents' defence.
He forced a red-card and number of dangerous set pieces. He's an added value to the side and seems to have fully recovered from his niggling injury problems.

MARCO CANTELLI
No news, good news. When Marco plays at his standard level, he often scores, and the team often wins. He scored the goal which sealed Dunfermline's victory in style, unfortunately he was cautioned, which will result in a one-match-ban against New Reds. His presence will be sorely missed for sure, although the lads have widely shown they can cope with anyone's absence.

ALBERTO BUCCIANTI
He scored two stylish goals, to cap as many brilliant collective moves. He flicked on a few as well, which is absolutely pivotal when the midfielders have a chance to attack space and wreak havoc.
He surely is a natural born goalscorer.

GIUSEPPE ALBERGA
His second cap of the season came against a much tougher side than Aston Villa Scassi, and he proved his worth upfront, going close once or twice.
His real chances may soon come, meanwhile he's a beloved presence inside the dressing room.

REFEREE CAVIGLIA
He had a good game, overall. He correctly dismissed a Las Cuevas' defender for a lunge at Borreani, however Cantelli shouldn't have been carded, and that may prove costly. Apart from that, he handled the game calmly and easily.
