Bologna-Monza 4-0 in the Italian Cup: ossoblu in the quarterfinals

Bologna drops the poker at the Dall’Ara against Monza, wins 4-0 and qualifies for the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup where they will face the winner of the match between Cesena and Atalanta. Two goals in each half for Italiano’s team, which took to the field with the starting lineup and appeared too superior to Nesta’s team, which also lagged behind in the championship.

In the 9th minute Iling-Junior wasted badly: after a oriented control the ex-Juve winger jumped 2 men and opened up the pitch creating a 3 against 1 situation but then chose not to serve his teammates and go for the conclusion by shooting high. Rossoblu ahead in the 32nd minute: Orsolini receives on the left and serves for Castro on the edge of the penalty area. The attacker passes for Pobega who unleashes a great shot that goes under the top corner for the 1-0. Three minutes pass and Bologna doubles their lead. Lightning fast counterattack by Bologna after a restart from a corner for the Brianza, Castro sends Orsolini deep who with a soft touch beats Pizzignacco for 2-0. Monza protests for a previous foul on Valoti but after a very brief consultation with the VAR the Bolognese goal is awarded.

At the beginning of the second half Bologna again with Iling-Junior who manages to serve Ferguson in the center of the area who initially shoots hard and central but Pizzignacco lifts the ball over the crossbar. In the 63rd minute, an opening for Iling-Junior who from the left puts the ball low into the center of the area, slightly touches Castro and the ball reaches the far post where Dominguez scores the 3-0 goal. The rossoblu continue to push and in the 76th minute they reduce the poker with Castro: Dominguez recovers a ball in the offensive zone and serves Castro on the edge of the area with the attacker beating the rossoblu goalkeeper again. In the 86th minute Iling-Junior is still the protagonist but the left-footed shot crashes into the top corner.
