Leao (7): Created the second goal all by himself and also ‘assisted’ the own-goal after a nice run. Rebic (6): Certainly not his finest performance with a lot of rocky moves but he improved a little as the game went on. Won the penalty after he made the run into the box and – as alluded to – got the assist for Gabbia. Hernandez (6.5): A few runs made life difficult for the home side but we didn’t really see that much of it this evening. Always followed his man closely and won the duels as well, which was nice to see. Stopped the strikers with ease and also showed off his passing a few times.
