The votes for the protagonists of Bologna-Parma 2-1.
Ravaglia 6.5 – He intervenes very well on Benedyczak in a couple of situations, using his feet first and then his fists. But again from the Pole he concedes a goal that is perhaps not unstoppable. Apart from this, he makes no mistakes and remains lucid until the end.
Holm 6 – His neighbor Lovik constantly puts him in difficulty. If it weren’t for the decisive cross to Castro’s head, the Swede would be significantly below the passing mark. But that decisive joker changes the vote and brings it back to the surface.
Heggem 5.5 – He arrives late on the play that opens the score for the Crusaders. At the moment he is not the brilliant and reassuring defender seen a few weeks ago, but a bit of tiredness from playing a lot of playing time is understandable.
Lucumi 6 – He doesn’t allow any gaps and even comes close to scoring with a header at the start of the second half. He is the one who keeps Benedyczak in the game on the away goal, but it is a truly millimetric and therefore venial error.
Lykogiannis 6 – It takes a while to get going and for long stretches it just seems to go out of the game. But in the second half, instead of decreasing, it grows. He took a dangerous shot from outside the area and some nice crosses from the left.
Sulemana 6 – Debut from the first minute, tenacious and tidy but without flashes. An honest testing game, which ended after just over an hour of play.
Ferguson 5 – It’s painful to say, but for a good portion of the match today the captain was among the worst on the pitch. Imprecise, late, not very conclusive.
Bernardeschi 5.5 – A strong-willed but far from sparkling performance, without the ideas or precision worthy of his talent, with the exception of the throw to Rowe which resulted in the equaliser.
Fabbian 5.5 – In Bologna they say that there is always a penny left to make a lira, when you want to tell about someone incomplete or unfinished. Here, he is now in this state. Always a little late for the right moment.
Rowe 7,5 – The most inspired of Bologna. He scored thanks to a personal play (post and tap-in on the lucky rebound) and throughout the match he outpaced his opponents by showing off a wide repertoire of feints. We probably found the reason why 19 million euros were spent.
Dallinga 5 – He never finds spaces or solutions to make himself dangerous. Then he disappears from the match without a shot being fired. Totally removed from context, a test similar to many of the past season.
Dominguez (25′ st) 6 – He enters with good concentration, even if he doesn’t always have the pace and above all the physique to make an impact in the final metres.
Escape (25′ st) 5.5 – A few too many wrong supports and even a yellow card close to the 90th minute.
Castro (25′ st) 8 – Specialist in indoor or outdoor evenings. He headed the goal that puts everything back in order and erases the fear of early elimination, which would have cast an unpleasant light on the rest of the season.
Odgaard (35′ st) st – He positions himself on the right track and in the final minutes protects the ball with strength and clarity, helping the team to breathe.
Immobile (35′ st) s.v. – He hadn’t been seen since August. Italian gives him ten minutes to familiarize himself with the pitch. And he puts all the energy he can have into it at this moment.
Italian 6 – Especially in the first half, Bologna appears rigid, with a defense that still concedes too much. And Parma, a modest opponent, puts the rossoblù in serious difficulty. To defend the title, as well as to get back on track in the championship, much more will be needed, even if the growing recovery gives us hope.
