Player ratings14 Sep 2026
Both of them Gioele Conte's — 8.31
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.31, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Giana Erminio come up short against Lecco
Lecco left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The crowd has taken to Gioele Conte
At 19 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.

Ernesto Matteazzi beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Alessandro Monti answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 2‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Kevin Bonifazi: “I am not a substitute”
“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Giana Erminio will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

A Giana Erminio teenager takes the young player award
Gioele Conte is 19, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Jacopo Nelli knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Giana Erminio, and both men came out saying it was fine.
The dugout14 Sep 2026
Andrea Piazza does not fit this one
Ninety specific minutes wanted a different sort of player, and the manager picked one. He is not out of form and he is not in the side, and both are true.
