JUVE VS ATALANTA 2 - 2

PLAYER STATISTICS
JUVENTUS

Buffon- 6.5: Nothing he could do on either goal and he was visibly frustrated with the slow reactions of his defenders. The Italian international made some smart stops from Doni and Cerci.

Grygera- 5.0: He was not very involved in any capacity, being pinned back in his own half by Atalanta's attack.

Mellberg- 5.5: He is never up to the standard of Chiellini and struggled to deal with any burst of pace, being turned on a few occasions. He did well dealing with aerial threats.

Legrottaglie- 6.0: Unluckily, a deflection off the former Siena player took the ball past Buffon for the opening goal. He nearly made up for it when his header hit the woodwork.

De Ceglie- 7.0: the best of the Juventus backline, he was always well positioned in attack and defence and made plenty of runs forward on the left side.

Camoranesi- 6.0: He made many incisive movements forward in the first half, but the end product was constantly lacking from the winger.

Zanetti- 6.5: He added some poise to the Bianconeri midfield and scored an absolutely stunning goal with a volley from outside the area!

Poulsen- 4.5: Overall, a sloppy match, he was constantly nervous in possession and lost the ball on too many occasions. He nearly gifted Atalanta the winner with a weak header back to Buffon. He also missed a header from point-blank range at the other end.

Nedved- 7.5: The Czech veteran struggled to get into the match at first, but his influence grew as the match went on. He assisted Iaquinta's goal and set up many more chances for his team-mates.

Amauri- 6.5: A frustrating match for the ex-Palermo hitman, who held the ball up well and also saw a header cannon back off the woodwork.

Iaquinta- 7.0: He never stopped running and was rewarded with another goal for his efforts, his tenth in Serie A this season.

ATALANTA

Consigli- 8.0: The Italy Under-21 shot-stopper made a number of fine saves, including a fantastic one from Del Piero in the late stages to keep the scores level at 2-2.

Garics- 6.5: Put in a good display before being subbed due to injury in the 41st minute.

Capelli- 6.0: He was unable to effectively deal with Juventus' build-up play on their first goal, but otherwise turned in a commendable performance.

Manfredini- 7.0: The central-defender made few mistakes and was solid at the back for the entire match.

Bellini- 6.5: The left-back has been a bright spot for the team this season and continued that trend by doing plenty of chasing and blocking crosses.

Defendi- 6.5: He missed a great chance to score at the end of the first-half, when he turned the ball over the net from close range, but he worked hard.

Parravacini- 5.0: He lacks the intensity of the suspended Guarente and was not much of a force in the midfield for the Orobici.

Cigarini- 7.5: His deflected strike opened the scoring and he almost had another when his long range effort smashed against the post. He was one of the top performers in this match with a number of impressive passes.

Cerci- 5.0: The Roma-owned winger has simply been unable to perform in Serie A and misplaced a number of passed throughout the match.

Doni- 7.0: The veteran keeps on ticking, he helped to set up the first goal and was always involved in attack for the visitors.

Plasmati- 7.0: He worked hard to keep Mellberg and Legrottaglie busy and was unfortunate to hit the crossbar, not once, but twice, in the second-half.
