Bologna-Monaco 0-1
BOLOGNA (edited by Lorenzo Di Benedetto)
Skorupski 6.5 – Decisive three times in the first half, with a great save from Embolo at the start. He can’t do anything about Kehrer’s goal, otherwise he does his best.
Posch 6 – After the rest in the championship he returns to the starting line-up and makes his presence felt on the right lane. In the second half it rises a little, but without making an impact.
Beukema 5 – Saves a goal already scored with a save from behind on Embolo. At the end of the action, offside is reported, which perhaps wasn’t there. However, the mistake that costs the defeat weighs like a boulder. It’s not like him to puncture a ball like that with his head in the center of the penalty area.
Lucumì 5.5 – A few more difficulties than his teammate, overall, but he is still precise in his advances and almost always punctual. He doesn’t make any glaring mistakes.
Miranda 5.5 – The first scoring ball of the match is on his left, but he shoots high. Italian asked him to be enterprising like at the end of the match against Lecce last Saturday, but his performance was not entirely positive.
Moro 6 – A solid game from the midfielder, with a very high pace in the first half. The yellow card he received in the 27th minute “cost” him a substitution at half-time.
From 46′ Pobega 6 – He tries to show himself more forward than in the defensive phase, but often crashes into the Monaco defense. No ringing and ordinary administration for the former Torino and Milan player.
Freuler 5.5 – After the bad performance against Lecce, an answer was needed and the answer arrived, but not 100%. Not the best version of the splendid midfielder who made the fortune of the teams he played for in recent years.
Iling-Junior 5.5 – The surprise choice of Italiano, who sends him onto the field in place of Orsolini. Never incisive, or almost never, no noteworthy ideas. Until the time of replacement.
From 68′ Orsolini 6 – He enters and makes himself seen immediately, with a much more enterprising attitude than Iling. 22 minutes were too few for a player in form like him, who had also decided the last match of the championship.
Fabbian 6.5 – One of the most dangerous in the first half, he warmed up Majecki’s gloves after a few minutes in the second half. The best on the pitch in Bologna.
From 81′ Ferguson sv.
Ndoye 6 – He works hard in both phases but sometimes he isn’t clear in his choice. However, this remains sufficient proof.
Castro 5.5 – He fights, he struggles, but he never makes an impact. Ndoye’s offside at the start of the play takes away the joy of scoring, which would have been wonderful, but unfortunately for him and for Bologna it doesn’t count.
From the 68th minute Dallinga 5 – A ghost. He came on with just over 20 minutes to go but never managed to be dangerous. He doesn’t seem to be in condition, but at this point we have to start wondering if his game is suitable for Bologna.
Italian 5.5 – Why Orsolini out? The choice to keep the player who decided the last two league matches against Cagliari and Lecce on the bench is incomprehensible. The changes then arrive too late. The defeat is undeserved, but some choices should and could have been better.

Majecki 6 – Attentive to a deflection from Beukema and a shot from Fabbian, otherwise he is well protected by a muscular and fast defense which allows Bologna shots from outside which do not hit the target.
Venderson 7 – If Brazil calls you in that role, it means something. Racing, constant thrust quality. And it’s not that it’s that easy to pass him behind.
Single 7.5 – There was a moment in which Castro managed to have the ball, but then Singo came back to steal it from him too. The Argentine certainly doesn’t hold back from taking shots, but the former Torino player takes no prisoners. Then it’s twice as dangerous up front. What game did he play?
Kehrer 7 – Attention and quality in his feet, he leaves a little more space than his teammate, but overall he allows only crumbs. Then the 1-0 shot, very heavy and worth 3 points.
Mawissa 6.5 – If Vanderson pushes, it’s not like he stays behind and watches, on the contrary. When Italiano talked about a fast team in all departments, he wasn’t wrong.
From 79′ Henrique sv
Magassa 7 – Surprised by Hutter, he plays a great game. Lots of recovered balls and runs that aren’t seen, but they count a lot to give balance to Hutter’s team. Then always polished during construction.
Room 6.5 – Like his teammate in the midfield, he acts as a screen before the ball reaches the person responsible for inventing and creating: he does it well, without sparing himself.
From 79′ Matazo sv
Akliouche 7.5 – What a player. Quality and ideas, touches of sole and finesse, he even comes close to scoring, but Skorupski tells him no. Iniesta-style ball for Embolo, who decides to wait for Beukema’s return until the last minute, taking away a great assist. Half a vote less because we don’t see much in the second half.
Golovin 6 – Always active, but a little more caged than his teammates. He lowers himself realizing that not many playable balls are coming to him, he is only dangerous on a free kick for which Skorupski is careful in his dive.
Ben Seghir 7 – Match along the lines of the one played by Akliouche. He also provides an assist for Embolo who, however, doesn’t want to score tonight. Then dribbling and plenty of ideas.
From the 72nd minute Minamino 5.5 He comes in and doesn’t replicate his teammate’s plays. He is controlled by the rossoblu defense in his 1-on-1 attempts.
Blood clot 6.5 – He really didn’t want to score tonight: twice in front of Skorupski, first he was hypnotized by the Polish goalkeeper, then he waited too long and Beukema recovered it (the VAR would have removed the offside which was whistled). But for the rest of the match he only did things well and in the end he made amends with the spark that became an assist for Kehrer. And how much generosity in pressing, until the 90th minute.
Coach Adolf Hutter 7 – He has built a team that is a perfect mix of running, intensity and talent. Endless push on the wings, great quality in the hot area of the pitch. Pay attention to his Monaco, in the Champions League and in Ligue 1.
