Final result: Turin-Bologna 0-2
TORINO
Milinkovic-Savic 7 – In a first half lacking in emotion, he played the part of the protagonist by neutralizing Castro's penalty and keeping the score at 0-0. There's little to complain about about the two goals conceded in the second half.
Walukiewicz 6 – He played a good first half hour, only to then have to leave the field due to a side problem. Dal 35' Vojvoda 5.5 – He starts with a good attitude, but then suffers in conjunction with the growth of Bologna on his side.
Maripan 6.5 – He has to keep a tough guy like Castro at bay and he does it to his best, even moving forward when he has the opportunity. Among the most positive in the home team.
Month 5 – It drops noticeably in the second half, when in particular he punctures the ball put in by Miranda and sent into the net by Dallinga.
Pedersen 5,5 – He grew as the minutes passed in the first half, in terms of push on the right and balls served in the Bolognese area. More opaque after the break.
Ricci 5,5 – In the shade during the setup phase, due to the pressing of the opposing midfield. A little better at helping the defense in containment.
Linetty 6 – The usual dam in the middle of the pitch, what a battle, sixth stop in a match with many duels in that area. From 63' Vlasic 5.5 – He doesn't give the change of pace that Toro needs at the end, with greater accompaniment of the offensive action.
Gineitis 6.5 – The best of the Granata midfield and, more generally, among the most positive in Vanoli's eleven. He doesn't save when it comes to slowing down Bologna's initiatives, but he also shows up in the final metres. Dal 63′ Ilic 5,5 – The former Verona player should allow Turin's maneuver to be more fluent and productive, but he fails in his aim.
Sosa 5 – It started badly, leading to the penalty that Castro then missed. He suffers for large parts of the match in the duel with Holm.
Karamoh 5.5 – Although he did not create excessive danger for Ravaglia, in the first half with his speed he created more than a headache for Italiano's defence. Then his measurements are taken and he appears decidedly more anonymous. From 79' Njie sv.
Sanabria 5 – Served little and badly, he had a dull afternoon, in which he only stood out a couple of times with some help for his teammates. Dal 63′ Adams 5,5 – He doesn't repeat Empoli's exploits, instead being rather imprecise in many of his plays.
Paolo Vanoli 5 – His Toro did not give continuity to Empoli's success, suffering another defeat at the end of a match not played at its best. Paid for defensive inattention and the usual sterility in the final meters.
BOLOGNA
Ravaglia 6 – He isn't called upon to perform sensational miracles, but he still stands out with some good performances, especially in the first half of the game.
Holm 6,5 – Constant push from him in the right lane. Precisely with one of these initiatives, the penalty that could have been worth the advantage already at the start of the match was propitious.
Beukema 6 – Evidence of great attention for the central defender, who is unlikely to be caught by surprise when some ball arrives in the area.
Lucumì 6 – Together with Beukema he forms a tough tandem, which protects Ravaglia in the best possible way. He made numerous rebounds, avoiding possible dangers for his goalkeeper.
Miranda 6,5 – A rather negative first half for the full-back who was put in difficulty both by Pedersen and, when he acts from that side, also by Karamoh. He improved a lot in the second half, serving the ball to Dallinga to make it 0-1. From 79' Lykogiannis sv.
Freuler 6 – Substantial match for the Swiss, who doesn't excel like other times but still does his duty in midfield without ever dropping his tone.
Escape 7 – The ex of the day does not spare himself in pressing and interventions, nipping Toro's maneuver in the bud on several occasions. Even more evident after the break, as he first hits the crossbar and then scores the second.
Dominguez 5,5 – A shot at the end of the first half, which wasn't very dangerous, and little else from him. From 46' Orsolini 6 – It's not the gearbox that turns the race, but it certainly does something more than the teammate it takes over.
Ferguson 5,5 – It should connect the midfield and attack, but is quite anonymous because it is in fact swallowed up by the grim Granata midfielder. Dal 46' Fabbian 6 – He brings freshness to the attacking midfield, deserving credit for his contribution in the second half.
Odgaard 5.5 – On the left front of the attack he creates almost nothing, neither in the finishing phase nor in conclusions towards the goal. It doesn't get much better as the challenge progresses. From 89' Casale sv.
Castro 5 – His match started on the wrong foot, missing an opportunity from the spot. The continuation is not the best, struggling to make an impact in the last meters and in the duel with Maripan. From 70' Dallinga 7.5 – Dream impact for the attacker, who scores the goal that unlocks the match (and his first for the rossoblù) a few moments after his entrance. He also participates in the doubling action: his season may be at a turning point.
Vincenzo Italiano 7 – His Bologna continues to win, convince and have legitimate European ambitions. Anonymous first half, then growth in the second with changes (especially with the entry of Dallinga).
