Bologna-Lazio 1-0: Bologna Defeats Lazio in an Exciting Match for European Qualification

Bologna-Lazio 1-0 NEWS

The direct match for Europe is won by Bologna. Open stage applause for Motta’s team, which grows at a distance and beats Lazio 1-0, with the signatures of the jewels Zirkzee and Ferguson: assist from the Dutchman, goal from the Scotsman, his third goal in the championship. Bologna passes the final exam and rises to fifth place cohabitation with Napoli.

Regrets for Lazio, who instead stopped at the best moment and ended with frustration and tense stories at the moment of leaving the pitch in the tunnel, with Romagnoli, Guendouzi and Isaksen among the most nervous with opponents and referee La Penna, who struggled to keep the match on point. Relaunched by victories against Atalanta, Sassuolo and Fiorentina, Lazio arrives in Bologna in search of poker in the championship. But at the Dall’Ara it is also a final exam for Motta’s Bologna, fresh from nine consecutive useful results in the championship, 11 if we consider the victory in the Italian Cup over Verona. Thinking about the European match and the derby with Roma, Sarri manages his energy and renounces, in addition to the injured Casale, Vecino, Kamada, Immobile and Zaccagni, confirming Rovella as director and inserting Castellanos and Pedro into the trident with Felipe Anderson. The rossoblù coach instead returns Beukema to the center of defense (not De Silvestri and El Azzouzi), but has to deal with the tiredness of the third match in six days. In fact, Lazio started strong, with Rovella in front of the defense and Luis Alberto speeding up the maneuver, often finding numerical superiority on the right, where the overlapping of Lazzari and Guendouzi created difficulties for Bologna.

Lazio takes 20 seconds to put the first dangerous cross into the area with Lazzari and in the fifth, again on the full-back’s cross, Castellanos hits the post with his head. The Pen stops everything due to a push by the Argentine on Beukema, but in the event of a goal the verdict would probably have passed to the VAR. Luis Alberto lights up, who in the quarter of an hour, from a corner, brushes a cross for Romagnoli, who all alone he hits centrally, sending the header into the arms of Skorupski, who three minutes later saves himself from an Olympic goal attempt (directly from a corner) again by Luis Alberto: on the rebound, Castellanos wastes a double opportunity. Lazio dominates in the first half hour, but fails to materialize and Bologna scares them in the last quarter of an hour, with a header from Zirkzee and a conclusion from the edge of the Dutchman, a solitary striker but capable of acting alone. Bologna resists and the score is equal at half-time. And at the start of the second half Bologna started strongly, 35 seconds and were ahead: Saelemaekers ran down the left and triggered Zirkzee, who stole time from Patric and found the hole for the insertion of Ferguson, who face to face with Provedel did not forgive.

It’s the advantage you don’t expect and which Bologna then tries to legitimize, coming close to doubling the lead with an Orsolini free kick deflected into a corner caused by an intervention by Luis Alberto, who saves on the counterattack. Sarri runs for cover: Marusic out, who keeps Ferguson in the game on the goal, Castellanos and Pedro, Immobile, Zaccagni and Pellegrini in, but Lazio can’t find the thread of the conversation. No conclusion, while Bologna grows at a distance and appears near Provedel also with Ndoye. Lazio didn’t make an impact in the first half, with the match in hand: Bologna did and took three points and fifth place. Motta’s team studies like adults and looks up.

46′ GOAL! BOLOGNA-Lazio 1-0! Lewis Ferguson’s goal. Show start for the rossoblu, with Saelemaekers finding Zirkzee horizontally. The imprecise control prevents the number 9 from hitting the net from the edge, but not from embroidering an excellent assist for Ferguson. The Scotsman, kept in play by Marusic, beats Provedel with his right foot at the spot.
