A hand in 2 of them from Carmelo Limonelli — 7.79
Marked 7.79. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Nicola Valente in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Siracusa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Casertana take the points off Siracusa
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

No hiding place for Giulio Frisenna
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Giulio Frisenna, and the manager let it.

Nicola Valente runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 12. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Carmelo Limonelli finally opens his account
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Siracusa have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
Squad31 Aug 2026
The plan did not have a place for Enrico Di Gesù
Nobody at Siracusa is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Off the bench and decisive: Matteo Zanini
The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. Siracusa were going nowhere until he came on.
