  Marco Storari

  Made two good saves in one-on-one situations with Pozzi and Cassano. Got a hand to the second goal he conceded, but wasn't strong enough to keep it out.

  Marco Motta

  A poor outing from the full-back, who had all kinds of trouble with Cassano and things got worse as he picked up an injury and had to be replaced.

  Leonardo Bonucci

  Average outing from the former Bari defender, who is still working on his relationship with Giorgio Chiellini.

  Giorgio Chiellini

  Tracked runs into the area well and made some very good challenges, but was left flat-footed on a few occasions.

  Paolo De Ceglie

  Did his defensive duties fairly efficiently, but was troubled by substitute Marilungo when he came on.

  Milos Krasic

  Man of the match for Juventus. His pace, passing, and dribbling were superb. Got one assist and started the move for the second goal.

  Claudio Marchisio

  The midfielder is certainly more comfortable in a central role and scored a nice goal on the volley to equalise in the first-half.

  Felipe Melo

  The Brazilian was the main winner of the midfield battle for large portions on the contest. A couple of lapses in concentration, but otherwise he did everything asked of him by Del Neri.

  Simone Pepe

  The winger was in and out of this thrilling contest, but did tap home a rebound and hit another shot off the post that led to their second goal.

  Fabio Quagliarella

  Tried the spectacular too often, but did react quickest to finish from close range.

  Alessandro Del Piero

  Showed flashes of what he is capable of and came close on a few set-pieces. Also involved in the build-up to their first goal.

  Erratic, but made a very big save late on from Iaquinta and stopped a number of other chances when his side were being pushed back.

  Stefano Lucchini Flop of the Match

  The centre-back made a crucial interception against Krasic when his opponent's had numbers coming forward and would have been clear. Was subbed off late on for Volta.

  Daniele Gastaldello

  An average performance, like many of the defenders in this match, it was not his best showing.

  Reto Ziegler

  Invisible for large portions of the match - he was often pinned back by wingers Pepe and Krasic, who tormented him in Turin.

  Daniele Dessena

  Fought very hard in the first half and showed he is a capable player, but was outworked in the second period. Will have a tough time keeping his place once Poli returns to full fitness.

  Angelo Palombo

  It wasn't a vintage performance from the ball-winner, but he did his job and combined well with Cassano for their second goal.

  Franco Semioli

  The former Fiorentina man never got involved in the match and it was no surprise when he was subbed off in the second-half by coach Domenico Di Carlo.

  V. Koman

  A very nice dummy to set up the team's opener, but typically he was bullied when coming forward and did not look settled at any point.

  Antonio Cassano

  His good form continues. One assist and a goal for the Italian talisman, who directed his side's attack whenever he got his foot on the ball.

  Nicola Pozzi Top of the Match

  Two very well-taken goals by Pozzi, who filled in for the injured Pazzini admirably. His hold-up play could still use some work, but his finishing was sublime.

  Guido Marilungo

  A positive impact from the substitute, who set up the final goal and used plenty of tricks to draw fouls and beat defenders. There is a bright future for the Italy Under-21 international.
