Player ratings28 Sep 2026
Clemente Perotti runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 46. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Pro Vercelli through in the cup
A 2‑1 win over Lumezzane, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Ouseynou Sow wins it after the whistle should have gone
96 minutes played. Ouseynou Sow found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Lumezzane went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Eduard Ihnatov, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.90
A mark of 7.90 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Tempers go at Pro Vercelli
Dean Huiberts was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Words at Pro Vercelli training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Achraf el Bouchataoui is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The crowd has taken to Mattia Rutigliano
At 20 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Squad28 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Cristiano Furno
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Cristiano Furno, and the manager let it.
Match26 Sep 2026
Pro Vercelli and Vicenza cancel each other out
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. Vicenza came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.
