Final result: Bologna-Venice 3-0
BOLOGNA (Edited by Giuseppe Lenoci)
Skorupski 6 – Idle in the first half and almost completely in the second: Pohjanpalo’s conclusion highlights his reflexes.
De Silvestri 6 – Awarded before the match for his 100 appearances with the rossoblù shirt, he played a scholastic attentive match on his area of expertise. Veteran, on and off the pitch. Unlucky during the clash with Oristanio. From 48′ Holm 6 – He comes in cold but takes the measures of the aforementioned winger well, limiting him.
Beukema 6.5 – Careful game from the central defender who makes his experience count and cancels out Pohjanpalo.
Lucumì 6.5 – Precise and punctual interventions, first to restart the offensive maneuvers. Flawless match for the defender.
Miranda 6 – Lots of quality from the full-back at his team’s disposal. His crosses often result
Freuler 6.5 – Class and rockiness for the Swiss, completely recovered and fundamental for the Italian game.
Moro 6 – One of the surprise choices from the first minute: rewards the coach with a match of sacrifice and substance.
Ndoye 7.5 – He broke the deadlock in the championship by scoring from the spot, which he himself procured. His match is certainly positive and puts his direct marker into crisis. In the second half, he scores a double using a perfect assist from Orsolini. From 81′ Dominguez sv –
Odgaard 6.5 – Chiaroscuro performance in the first half for the former Sassuolo player who certainly has excellent ideas, but is not always able to serve his teammates cleanly. In the second half, good initiatives from outside the area guaranteed him the applause of the public upon his exit. From 81′ Urbanski sv –
Karlsson 5.5 – Not the best performance for the rossoblù number 10. Many, too many touches that slow down the maneuver. The class is there, but today it isn’t crystal clear: it also shows in the second half with a blue pencil error. From 63′ Orsolini 7.5 – In four minutes he finishes by creating danger, delivers a through ball which then generates the penalty, converted by the same number 7, then assists Ndoye. What more could you ask for? Class is not water.
Castro 6 – Lots of dirty work for the attacker, often with his back to goal. Useful as a support for your teammates. From 63′ Dallinga 6.5 – Positive entry from the attacker, who lacks a goal to find confidence. Good performance.
Vincenzo Italian 6.5 – Give confidence to Ndoye, author of a great performance. He inserts Orsolini at the ideal moment, changing the flow of the match. He rotates almost all of his players. It has the same points as Motta’s Bologna last year in thirteenth. His hand is starting to show.
VENICE (Edited by Giuseppe Lenoci)
Stankovic 6 – Watch out between the posts, he can do nothing about the goals conceded. Avoids a heavier liability to his team.
Idzes 5 – After a careful first half, in the second he commits the penalty foul that directs the match.
Svoboda 5.5 – They played a decent match in the first half, only to then collapse like the entire backfield in the second half.
Sverko 5.5 – The yellow in the first half could have affected him, but he managed to keep his attention high and close on his opponents. In the second half he was unable to avoid his team’s defeat. From 75′ Altar 6 – His entry gives a little more peace of mind in the back pack, also thanks to Bologna’s slower pace.
Candle 5.5 – Compared to his partner, he is more proactive in attacking the wing and covering Karlsson. He struggles in coverage especially after the break.
Duncan 6 – The midfielder’s match was not easy and he also had a problem in the first half. He grits his teeth and tries to give geometry to his department. He raises the white flag in the second half. From 51′ Yeboah sv – His race lasts a few minutes. He leaves due to an injury: the number 10 is unlucky. From 75′ Crnigoj 6 – He enters with the race now closed: he still tries to be seen by his teammates.
Nicolussi Ankle 5.5 – The midfielder has the opportunity to put the match back in balance but doesn’t find the best impact with the ball.
Haps 5 – Ndoye is not an easy player to mark, but the error during the penalty kick is important. Stay in the locker room after the break. From 46′ Ellertsson 5.5 – His entry fails to give new strength to his team.
Oristanio 6.5 – The best of his. He always looks for the play to get behind the defense and offers interesting balls for his teammates.
Busio 5.5 – The midfielder is nervous and has some shots under his belt but is unable to express his full potential.
Pohjanpalo 5.5 – The attacker is in the shade, never really dangerous in the penalty area. Several lost balls on an evening in which he certainly wasn’t brilliant. Only opportunity created in the second half. From 85′ Raimondo sv –
Eusebio Di Francesco 5.5 – The coach tries to shake up his team with a balanced formation. Collapses in the second half, unlucky with injuries: the performance, however, is insufficient. Watch out for developments this week.
