Serie A: Sassuolo-Bologna ends with a 1-1 – Football

Sassuolo-Bologna 1-1 The news

It’s a play-off for eighth place at the Mapei Stadium, but more than the desire to win, it’s the desire not to lose that dominates. Berardi tries the initial break to mark the overtaking of the rossoblùs, at the end of the first half Dominguez replies, and so between two teams returning from the knockouts with Lazio and Empoli it ends in a draw. Equal profit for Bologna, who risked sinking to 13th place and who find themselves in eighth on equal points with Fiorentina, Udinese, Turin and Monza, while Sassuolo remain two lengths away. The sprint will continue in the last four days.

Dionisi was meditating revenge, who hadn’t digested the 3-0 knockout in the first leg. The rossoblù coach had smelled an air of danger from Motta, after the defeat at Empoli. The reaction hoped for by both arrives, but halfway. Just like in Empoli, the start of the match was fatal for Bologna: Berardi gave Sassuolo the lead in the quarter of an hour with the hosts, with a close right-footed shot under the crossbar. And Bologna’s reaction is struggling to arrive: Bologna are too light, with Aebischer false nine, Barrow and Orsolini as wingers and Dominguez brought back to the median with Ferguson and Schouten. Sassuolo’s tactic is clear: pressuring the rossoblù game sources (Dominguez and Schouten) and it pays off. Ball recovery and restarts within a very tactical match. Bologna need a personal invention to get back on track and the captain, Nicolas Dominguez finds it, who in the 42nd minute from the limit, after an action led by Cambiaso and Barrow, finds the intersection with a right-footed shot.

The start of shooting he is from Bologna, with Cambiaso who in the 54th minute almost overtakes with a left-handed finish and Sassuolo suffering in the right lane, where Frattesi then increases in tone looking for snags that put Bologna in difficulty but do not lead to real opportunities, accomplices finishing mistakes . And then hand to the exchanges: inside Harroui and Laurientè for Dionisi, who tries to win it. The same intention for Motta, who throws Arnautovic back into the fray, on the field after 50 days of absence and who tries ten from the end, with a central conclusion on which Consigli replies presently. Nothing happens anymore: the match for eighth place is destined to continue at a distance.
