Sassuolo-Bologna 0-1, Dallinga decides the Emilian derby

In the midst of the double challenge of Europa League against Roma, il Bologna brings home full loot in derby emiliano against the Sassuolo. At the Mapei Stadium, the final 1-0 was scored by Dallingascoring in the first minutes. After playing an excellent first half, Bologna managed to manage the result in the second half, facilitated by an imprecise and not very intense Sassuolo. However, in terms of injuries, the guests’ afternoon was not at all lucky: in addition to the forced exits first of De Silvestri and then of Moro, in the end there was also apprehension about Skorupski’s condition.

Ahead of the return of Europa LeagueItaliano opts for several lineup changes: in addition to Orsolini and Odgaard, Dallinga is chosen to initially give Castro a chance to catch his breath. The rossoblù coach’s move proved to be a good one already in the 6th minute. In fact, thanks to a splendid right-footed turn, the Dutch attacker immediately broke the deadlock, scoring his second goal of the championship. The guests are not satisfied with the 1-0 and continue to push in search of a double. Moro’s free kick in the 38th minute near the top corner and the attempts by Orsolini and Cambiaghi certify the offensive efforts produced by the Italian team.

Sassuolo’s reaction

Sassuolo, on the other hand, is only dangerous in the 8th minute, when Skorupski he is forced to dirty his gloves on Pinamonti’s right-footed shot. The neroverdi did little or nothing even at the beginning of the second half: Grosso then tried to shake things up, introducing Nzola and Volpato. The latter was immediately the protagonist in the 62nd minute, challenging Skorupski with a shot from a tight angle. The home team’s offensive production, however, was limited to Volpato’s chance.

Consequences and prospects

Sassuolo didn’t even take advantage of Skorupski’s muscle problem at the end, never managing to get a shot. This defeat thus moving the neroverdi away from eighth position, occupied by Bologna, now four points away. THE three points achieved will allow Italiano to prepare for Thursday’s match at the Olimpico with greater serenity, even if the account presented today by the injuries it’s very salty.
