BOLOGNA 2-4 AC MILAN
(49′ aut. Ibrahimovic, 52′ Barrow; 16′ Leao, 35′ Calabria, 84′ Bennacer, 90′ Ibrahimovic)
BOLOGNA –
Skorupski 6 – Mocked by Leao’s shot and Medel’s deviation, he has more than one responsibility for the Rossoneri’s doubling. He redeems himself, in a big way, with a Banks-style intervention on Giroud that would be worth a point if it were not that in the end comes defeat.
Soumaoro 4 – Pioli will have to send him at least one thank-you note. In twenty minutes he dramatically puts Milan’s game downhill: he loses Leao and he scores, knocks out Krunic and Valeri expels him.
Average 5.5 – The decisive touch on Leao’s jab, he has his work cut out and is not exactly the player you would like to mark the Ibra-Giroud duo. A few smudges, a lot of heart.
Theate 6 – It had to be a complicated game, from a certain point on it becomes almost impossible but somehow it stays inside her and even touches the goal.
De Silvestri 6.5 – There are trots in those parts, because Milan attack, and often break through, right on their sector. There are difficulties, it grows with the passing of the minutes, putting in a lot, a lot, a lot of leadership.
Svanberg 6,5 – The antiphon soon happens, it goes less than usual to sow panic on the sides of the opposing defense. When it does, however, it still affects. You say quantity and quality, right?
Dominguez 6 – Nothing unforgettable, but he struggles and makes little mistakes in the support phase. (Dal 63′ Schouten 6 – Enter that the race is a battle. Fights it).
Hickey 6 – Not exactly a constant danger, but it holds good and offends the just. (Dal 63′ Dijks 5.5 – Less well than the partner).
Soriano 5 – Many good things, above all the ball that Barrow sends into goal for the 2-2. However. On a draw that seemed unthinkable and with the team in ten, was all that enthusiasm needed?
Barrow 7 – Purposeful from the start, he slips away and scores a very heavy goal. It comes out only for tactical needs. (Dal 63’ Binks 6 – More minutes, in an almost impossible match).
Arnautovic 7 – Nervous, annoyed and also annoying in the second half, he wakes up when his parents need someone to do something up front. And it puts the opposing defense in check alone. (Dall’83’ Santander s.v.).
Mihajlovic 6 – And what can you tell him? Taking a goal from Milan can be there, going under two men a little less. He intervenes as he can with the changes, taking home the first home defeat of this championship.
MILAN –
Tatarusanu 6 – Not a feline on Ibra’s unfortunate and masochistic detour, he offers a couple of interventions, including parades and exits, which are worthwhile.
Calabria 6,5 – On a normal evening, his goal would have ended the conversation. Not today, but he doesn’t let himself down. Push, defense, and above all geometry.
Kjaer 5 – In the end, he swerves too. He keeps Barrow in play on the goal, a defensive reading that conditions a match that is not unforgettable for the Rossoneri’s defensive duo.
Tomori 5.5 – A lot, too much difficulty against Arnautovic, especially in the second half.
Ballo-Toure 6.5 – A step forward, even two, compared to the performances with Verona and Porto. Behind it swerves and offers space, in front it puts a lot of dangerous balls.
Bennacer 7,5 – He had to go out, stay on the pitch and keep his head up. Indeed, it puts that of Milan ahead of that of Bologna. A jewel goal, which is worth three gold points.
Tonals 5.5 – Not the best race of his season, when it comes out you understand even more how important it is. (From 46 ‘Bakayoko 5,5 – It seemed like the wrong race to take minutes, it becomes the worst. Half a vote more because in the final he works on the action of the decisive goal.).
Castillejo 5,5 – Dragger with Verona, he records little and nothing at Dall’Ara. Out with a physical problem. (From 46 ‘Saelemaekers 5 – Another impact is expected from a very titular one).
Krunic 5,5 – The best thing, the only important thing, is that which leads to the expulsion of Soumaoro. (From 60 ‘Giroud 6 – He tries, Skorupski tells him no. If he had entered …).
Leao 7 – The goal and much more in the first half disappears as the minutes pass. The aspect he has to work on more, because he can be a champion.
Ibrahimovic 6 – Owner five months later. In terms of mentality and quality, no one like him on the pitch. As for the physical contribution, age cannot but weigh. Is his class enough in Serie A? We would say no, in the end he finds the goal, even a nice one, redeems the unfortunate own goal. And so it leaves us the doubt.
Pioli 5,5 – The birthday was bitter because of Porto, the 100 Rossoneri benches are happy thanks to Bologna. Happy, but complicated. Bad Milan tonight, despite the victory, because in eleven against nine you can’t risk it like this. He puts in the two towers, the team gives up playing as it usually knows and does. Take home the result, that’s what counts in the end.
