Samir Handanovic (Inter Milan) – The Slovenian has been the Nerazzuri’s saviour for the past four seasons, and this match was no different. Handanovic made crucial saves especially in the dying minutes of the game to help his team take a point back to Milan.
Radja Nainggolan (Roma) – The scorer of the equaliser was his usually brutal self, breaking up play, tracking back and winning the ball in midfield. The Belgian was also crucial to beginning counter-attacks and he distributed the ball quite well.
