For Mazzarri’s team, third defeat in a row: in the recovery, Caceres is sent off, a sensational opportunity for Lykogiannis and a doubling of the Emilians before the striker’s doubling
All standing for Bologna. So shout the fans who, happy, celebrate for the three points that project Sinisa Mihajlovic’s team together with the Juve group at 15 points. Two to zero in Cagliari, more and more last (at 6), more and more alone. The plan devised by Walter Mazzarri to take a point away from the Dall’Ara lasts only 49 minutes, when he is shot in the heart by Dr. De Silvestri. The problem is that there is no reaction, only confusion from which neither Pavoletti, who slams to death, nor Joao Pedro can benefit. Indeed the final leads to a shameful fight that leads to the expulsion of Caceres.
There are shadows on the Tuscan coach, even if the president Giulini comes to speak in the press room after the game and seems to want to remove any doubts about the position of the coach and “limits” himself to alluding to a retirement (not punitive) because the team can make up. The management of Bologna instead gets the answer that Mihajlovic wanted. That is the victory. Sealed in the recovery by Arnautovic, void in the first part, super incisive in the second.
First half
–
Bologna is the one announced with captain Soriano and Musa Barrow behind the idol Arnautovic. Gary Medel rules the three-man defense in the middle and has to fight with Pavoletti’s inches and size. Mazzarri recovers three, but loses one in the hotel: Ceppitelli, suffering from low back pain, does not even go to the bench. On the other hand in Cagliari, which shows off the celestial uniform for the first time in the league in homage to its Uruguayans, there is Godin, leader of the Celeste, at the center of the back four, there is Strootman in the middle of the field and Nandez, another Uruguayan of merit, right to try to annoy. And it is precisely the number 18 that creates more problems for a Bologna that immediately starts the attack with thrust and courage dragged by the Bulgarelli curve (the distinct ones are full only in the center) but then never manages to find a way to get around the bunker of Cagliari close in his 4-4-2 with all the men to protect, Godin and Carboni very attentive on Arnautovic, Nandez who often comes to play the full-back (complaining) to help Zappa by making him invent almost a 5-3-2 and Joao Pedro ready to leave. The problem is that the Brazilian is always alone in the middle of three or four when he wants to get Cagliari out of the shell.
But it is Mazzarri’s team that becomes more dangerous. With Nandez who kicks weakly in front of Skorupski and with Marin who kicks high, around, a favorable free-kick, granted following another that Svanberg touches with his arm. There is little, however, in the first half, especially in Bologna that Mihajlovic wants to see victorious at all costs.
Second half
–
And in fact, on the return to the field it takes 3 minutes and 50 seconds for the rossoblùs at home to unlock it: Medel directs from his center of gravity, Arnautovic does the first good thing of the game, a veil that deceives Carboni and launches de Silvestri. Lollo is good at squeezing in, burning Lykogiannis and beating Cragno. All standing for Bologna. Mazzarri’s move is to insert Bellanova for Strootman. And Nandez goes to be a mezzala. But there is also the move of desperation to give more weight to the attack: in Farias for Deiola and also Caceres for Carboni. Farias and Nandez become two more supports for the tips. A shock that does not come if not with a few spikes by Pavoletti and a high shot by Marin. Indeed it is Bologna to scare, before the exit Barrow serves a great ball to Arnautovic and Cragno is very good. When he enters, Samson takes the stake at the earliest opportunity.
Only in the final Cagliari shows its teeth and attributes but in the chaos of a corner kick it is Caceres who pays the price. The fight involves all the players, Massa chases the Uruguayan who threw a ball at an opponent. From there the turmoil. But in the frantic final Cagliari also has the equalizer: Lykogiannis kicks it but Skorupski with a leap sends it to the corner. It is an infinite recovery (in the beginning 3 minutes) but the final is by Bologna, or rather by Arnautovic who, served by Samson (Bellanova slips) puts on Cragno and puts an end to it.
