Darmian: A quiet first half, had to do better on the Croatia opener. 5.0/10
Dimarco: An average opening half, really lacking at both ends. 5.5/10
Di Lorenzo: Got into the right positions, but his delivery lacked in the final third. 5.5/10
Jorginho: Solid without doing anything spectacular. 5.5/10
Barella: Excellent on the ball, created a great chance for Bastoni in the first half. 6.0/10
