A Bologna that deceives, that of Marassi, a team that wears the mask of the strongest for the first 45 minutes, then stumbles over its own mistakes and ends up among everyone’s regrets. The wonderful opportunity to regain the 3 points against a team decimated by injuries and in the midst of a crisis failed in the second half of a match that Bologna managed from the start, only to then let go and free an undoubtedly hungrier Genoa.
The goals from Orsolini and Odgaard were thus answered by a brace from Pinamonti who first took advantage of Casale’s obvious indecision and then soared higher than anyone else on the free kick awarded to the Ligurians from midfield. Thus, for the fourth time since the start of the championship Bologna loses points from disadvantaged situations, thanks to a management of substitutions that is not so much hasty as risky.
On the day of Benjamin Dominguez’s debut in Serie A, the return to goals (or almost) of Orsolini and Odgaard, there are few other positive notes of a result that cannot satisfy Bologna and its supporters. With a few days to go before the next English away match, all that remains is to hope for that extra concentration that only the music of the Champions League can offer.
