Turin-Bologna 0-2: Dallinga and Pobega launch Italiano

by our correspondent Matteo Dalla Vite

December 21, 2024 (changed at 5.17pm) – TORINO

Bologna wins, they do it with Dallinga's first goal and a second goal in which it took a minute and a half to understand the Dutchman's position on Pobega's shot. Torino showed will, plots, offensive situations, especially by exploiting the flanks but Bologna, who had missed a generous penalty in the first half, showed themselves more concrete and regained seventh place in the standings, momentarily catching Juventus.

Paolo Vanoli chooses Karamoh alongside Sanabria, behind is Maripan in place of the disqualified Coco; Vincenzo Italiano chooses Ravaglia in place of Skorupski and for the rest confirms the three-way midfield Freuler-Pobega-Ferguson by moving Odgaard to the left and putting “El Nene” Dominguez again on the right wing in place of Orsolini, who returned two days ago from injury. The beginning, after the embrace between the two coaches who were teammates from '96 to '98 in Verona, is a corner kick won by Pedersen in the duel with Miranda: Karamoh's header in front of goal, out. Toro presses high, Bologna tries to maneuver and comes close to taking the lead in the 6th minute: Piccinini doesn't notice a light touch from Sosa to Holm, VAR (Mazzoleni) calls and the referee awards the penalty which, 8 ', the Totem Milinkovic-Savic saves Santiago Castro, then rejects the rebound from Pobega, one of the former players on duty. Still zero zero in the tenth, with Toro now trying to unleash himself especially on the left-handed lane while in the middle Ricci and Linetty engage in a not bad fight with the Bologna interior. In the 26th minute, a good opportunity for Torino: from fifth to fifth, Pedersen from the right crosses it to the far post and Sosa (with Holm who heads the ball) creates a diagonal shot that comes out to Ravaglia's left. In the 30th minute, Vanoli had to notice another defection in defense (considering Coco's disqualification): Walukiewicz collapsed to the ground, on a stretcher, moments of apprehension. Inside Vojvoda who has already acted as the third central defender in the grenade system. At 44', sprint-grenade: rising in midfield, Maripan offers a nice deep ball for Karamoh, Beukema is late but manages to dirty the ball which then becomes Ravaglia's thing.

In the second half, Italiano puts on Orsolini for Dominguez and Fabbian for Ferguson, Vanoli initially maintains the backbone of the first half. After two occasions against Bologna, here is the other situation in which the Italian team can find the advantage: from thirty meters away, Pobega unleashes a left-footed shot with the ball hitting Milinkovic-Savic's crossbar and falling back onto the full line: no goals. Danger, with Toro reacting well and arriving in the opponent's area but without taking advantage of the opportunity between Ilic and Adams, who entered in the second half. Bologna puts Dallinga on for Castro in the 25th minute and it is he who scores after twenty seconds for his first goal since being in Italy: Odgaard's breakthrough, Miranda's cross and the Dutchman puts it one meter away. In the 35th minute Bologna doubled their lead but it took more than a minute to see Dallinga's position following a shot from Pobega (also deflected). Sixth victory in the last eight games for the Italian, Torino who did not find the right pace in the offensive phase.
