Rown. Bologna, led by Italian-Brazilian Thiago Motta, beat Salernitana 3-0 this Monday, their eighth victory in nine games to move two points away from third place in Serie A, owned by Juventus. Mexican goalkeeper Francisco Guillermo Ochoa was not called up for the defeated team due to physical problems, after playing with the Mexican National Team in the final of the Concacaf Nations League against the United States.
Goals from Riccardo Orsolini (14), Alexis Saelemaekers (44) and Charis Lykogiannis (90+2) gave the victory to the local team, which has 24 of the last 27 points it has played. Their only slip since the beginning of February was the 1-0 defeat against Inter, the undisputed leader of the competition.
With 57 points, Bologna consolidates its fourth position, which would take it to the Champions League next season, hot on the heels of a Juventus in free fall that lost 1-0 to Lazio (7th) on Saturday, achieving only seven points in his last nine games.
La Salernitana is heading towards the second division. Led this Monday for the first time by Stefano Colantuono, their fourth coach this season, they have eleven points less with the first team that would not be relegated, Empoli (17th).
The 30th Italian round had its first turn on Saturday with five games. On Easter Sunday there was no football, as tradition dictates in the country, and the second round of duels will be played this Monday.
Also this Monday, Roma (5th) tied 0-0 at Lecce (13th) and remains five points behind Bologna.
Inter, leader with 11 points ahead of Milan (2nd), closes the date by hosting Empoli (17th).
