Before that, Carlos Augusto drew first blood at the start of the second half.

In addition to the goal, he led by example all night.

Furthermore, he could’ve registered an assist moments after netting his 11th Serie A goal this term.

However, Davide Frattesi failed to beat Marco Carnesecchi from point-blank range.

Nonetheless, Lautaro’s performance at the Gewiss Stadium was commendable.

Meanwhile, Alessandro Bastoni fared well, warranting a decent rate despite receiving a late red card.
