Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 22 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The Pergolettese game.)

Midfield player Mattia Mustacchio was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.43/10. Mustacchio hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.
