COMO-BOLOGNA 2-2
(5′ author Casale, 54′ Cutrone, 76′ Castro, 91′ Iling)
Skorupski 6 – He is alert to every trajectory that rains down on the six-yard box, but he can’t actually do anything about Casale’s unfortunate deflection into the goal.
Post 6 – Like a diesel: shy at the beginning, then as the minutes pass he understands that he also needs some forward runs to break the mold.
Beukema 5.5 – Not particularly brilliant, both in marking and in one-on-one duels. Cutrone puts him in trouble on more than one occasion. And in the second half he risks big, like Casale, on a couple of counterattacks.
Farmhouse 5.5 – Despite the own goal, which can happen in football, he holds his ground against Cutrone’s movements. And at the end of the first half he saves a “safe” conclusion from the attacker. Too many risks in the second half (From 81′ Lucumì sv).
Miranda 5 – When Iovine and Strefezza decide to change pace, he struggles to contain them. He gives too much space to Cutrone on the occasion of the 2-0. He is seen little or nothing, however, beyond the midline.
Aebischer 5 – Particularly slow and cumbersome, he often finds himself chasing opposing midfielders (From 46′ Fabbian 6 – A couple of conclusions, gives quality and unpredictability in the three-quarter line).
Freuler 6 – In the first half he doesn’t take the stage and it shows, the entire team struggles to manage the ball and he can’t dictate the tempo as he would like. Little filter even in defense. At the end the charge sounds.
Pobega 5.5 – A few insertions, but little else. He even has a chance, on a cross from the right, but he gets there uncomposed and without causing problems for Audero.
Ursolini 5 – He had Bologna’s only real chance to score in the first half, with a strong diagonal shot that ended just wide. But it was the only flash of hope in a match in which he failed to make the difference (From 63′ Iling 7 – With his speed he creates more than a few headaches for Moreno. And then, in the 91st minute, a gem comes out of the hat that is worth a precious point).
Dallinga 5 – Practically not found. Squeezed between Dossena and Kempf, he is unable to get into the thick of the game and get the team moving. Impalpable (From 63′ Castro 7.5 – He is the man of the match, he comes in and changes history. First he scores like a predator in the penalty area to make it 1-2, then he serves Iling the equaliser after an excellent breakthrough work).
Odgaard 5.5 – Iovine contains him, but with extreme ease. He is not as lively as usual and especially in the last play he is often imprecise. From his shot, deflected, comes the action that reopens the match (From 81′ Ndoye sv).
Vincenzo Italian 6.5 – Not much Bologna in the first half, with Como having even the chances to run riot and not taking advantage of them with Strefezza and Fadera. A dull match without any great chances, until the substitutions fix everything: Fabbian, Castro and Iling come in and in the end a golden draw arrives. May it serve as an injection of confidence.
