Dall’Ara’s first half ends, at half-time Bologna-Monza is 2-0. Pobega scored in the 32nd minute and Orsolini in the 350th minute.
Bologna starts very strongly and in the 4th minute they are already close to taking the lead with the usual Santiago Castro, who protects the ball on a long throw, gets rid of the direct opponent and then finishes with the left-footed shot from outside, urging Pizzignacco, who is attentive and deflects for a corner. In the 9th minute what happens in Brianza’s penalty area is sensational: Iling-Junior sows panic by dribbling past two defenders, leads the ball inside 16 metres, but then doesn’t take advantage of a three-on-one situation, ignoring Ferguson and Orsolini and kicking high alone in front of the visiting goalkeeper. Vincenzo Italiano’s men still play the game, but they don’t manage to pose much of a threat until the 32nd minute, when Tommaso Pobega breaks the deadlock with a left-footed shot from outside the area: nice move moved to the right, Orsolini finds Castro on the limit, who passes it to the former Milan player, who unloads the left foot behind Pizzignacco. Alessandro Nesta asks his team to react, who immediately try to get a corner and ask for a penalty, which however is not awarded and on the turnaround in front Castro is very capable of serving Orsolini in depth. The winger in front of the goalkeeper is very cold and with a soft touch in the 35th minute it makes it 2-0. However, the Italian immediately requests a substitution due to a physical problem that is keeping Bologna worried. It is the last emotion of the first 45 minutes, which close with a partial that already directs the match in a clear direction.
