Juventus vs BATE 0-0 Players Rating
JUVENTUS
Manninger - 6.0: Did not have a single save of note to make all game. Cigar and slippers evening for the Austrian.
Grygera - 6.0: Not troubled at all defensively, and a few nice moves coming forward in the first half.
Legrottaglie - 6.5: Breezed through the evening due to the impotence of the BATE attack, but made on excellent tackle in the first half.
Mellberg - 6.5: Like Legrottaglie, had very little real defending to do tonight. A nuisance down the other end on set pieces.
Molinaro - 6.5: Did very well as an attacking force in the first half, using his pace to good effect, but was less prominent after the break.
Marchionni - 7.0: Was involved in a number of Juve's best moments, heading against the post, and creating an excellent chance for Del Piero.
Nedved - 6.0: Not for the first time this season, Nedved looked to be lacking the energy, and it was a touch surprising he lasted 91 minutes.
Zanetti - 6.0: Returned after his long injury layoff, and largely did okay. Kept the ball, and won a number of tackles.
De Ceglie - 6.0: Showed some battling qualities down the left hand side, but not too much danger came through De Ceglie.
Giovinco - 6.5: Had some excellent moments, and flashes of brilliance, but will regret his penalty miss early in the second half when he skied over the bar.
Amauri - 7.0: The best player on the pitch for 56 minutes before he was rested ahead of the Milan game. Showed some silky skills for such a big man, and created the chance for Marchionni.
Subs: Del Piero 6.5, Esposito N/A, Castiglia N/A
BATE
Veremko- 7.5: Was the reason why Juventus didn't win the game, with some smart stops, including one exceptional save from Del Piero late on.
Khagush - 6.0: Solid for most of the game, even if he occasionally found himself out of position.
Sosnovsky - 6.5: Was taken on by Amauri at times, but also made a host of key last gasp tackles inside the area.
Kazantev - 6.5: Like Sosnovsky, did well at the back, and limited Juve to not as many chances as they would have expected.
Yurevic - 5.5: The weak link of the BATE backline. Allowed Marchionni to get in behind a few too many times.
Likhtarovic- 6.0: Quietly went about his job in the middle-of-the-park, but never really stamped his authority on the game.
Sivakov - 5.5: Not a game Sivakov will look back to fondly on, and he was fortunate not to be punished after conceding a foolish penalty for handball.
Stasevich- 5.5: A passenger for almost all the time he was on the pitch, which led to his premature substitution.
Kryvets- 6.0: Did not have the same impact as he did in the reverse match in Minsk, but some neat touches.
Bliznyuk - 7.0: BATE's best player tonight. Dangerous on the ball, but he was guilty of missing a gilt-edged chance 12 minutes from time.
Rodionov - 4.0 Was completely invisible tonight. Indeed you could count on one hand the number of times his name was mentioned.
