BOLOGNA (ITALPRESS) – Bologna wins the Emilian derby against Sassuolo 4-2, Motta’s team is back to winning ways after four rounds without the three points. The rossoblù catch Atalanta in fourth place, awaiting the Bergamo team’s match against Lazio, a late night for the neroverdi with their thirteenth defeat of the season. Motta relied on the usual 4-2-3-1 with Zirkzee as the sole striker supported by Fabbian, Ferguson and Urbanski: Orsolini still on the bench, with space in the middle of the pitch for the Swiss duo Freuler-Aebischer. Dionisi responded with a mirror-image form, with many absences for the black and green coach, starting with Berardi, who was out due to a meniscus injury. Dall’Ara’s match did not disappoint expectations, the score broke the deadlock in the 13th minute when, following an error in the build-up phase from low by the hosts, Thorstvedt found the opening goal. The Bolognese clung to the quality of Zirkzee, the Dutchman in the 24th minute – after several dangerous plays, he equalized the score following the development of a corner thanks to a precise conclusion at the far post (Vita’s deflection was decisive, the ball was destined outside the mirror).
Ten minutes later the guests took the lead again thanks to Volpato, the Roma attacking midfielder overcoming Skorupski for the second time thanks to a shot to the far post from the edge of the area. The rossoblù significantly increased the pace in the second half, the entry of Saelemaekers and Orsolini increased the offensive weight of the hosts: the choices paid off for Motta in the 28th minute of the second half when Fabbian, caught by a cross from Kristiansen, passed by head Tips. In the final minutes Bologna changed gear, in the 38th minute Ferguson signed the overtaking with a precise shot from the edge of the area, three minutes later Saelemaekers, following a clumsy clearance from Tressoldi, ended the match definitively.
