Inter 2-2 Bologna: Player Ratings
Between: Age 6; Darmian 5.5 (70′ Pavard 6), De Vrij 5.5, Bastoni 5.5 (83′ Buchanan n/a) ; Dumfries 6.5, Barella 7, Asllani 5.5 (70′ Frattesi 5.5), Zielinski 5.5, Dimarco 6 (70′ Carlos Augusto 6) ; Thuram 6.5, L. Martinez 6.5 (74′ Taremi 5.5).
Best Inter player: Barella 7 – The engine the Nerazzurri need to keep going. The Italian international provided his team with tireless running, defensive coverage and quality passing to all areas of the pitch. Simply irreplaceable.
Coach: Simone Inzaghi 5.5 – It was clear from the start that the evening would never be easy for Inter, an impression that resisted the passage of minutes and even Inter’s temporary turnaround. The Nerazzurri were too soft at the back against a stubborn Rossoblu side and lacked the determination to kill the game, with the coach’s adjustments doing little to change that.
Bologna: Skorupski 6.5 ; Holm 7 (76′ De Silvestri 6), Beukema 6, Casale 5.5, Lykogiannis 6 ; Freuler (87′ Erlic n/a), Moro 7 (67′ Pobega 6) ; Orsolini 6.5, Odgaard 5.5 (67′ Ferguson 6), Ndoye 6.5 ; Castro 7 (87′ Dallinga n/a).
Best Bologna player: Castro 7 – He showed that he would have everything to be a worthy heir to Lautaro Martinez: his courage, his technique and his presence in the area make him a versatile attacker and a constant threat for his team’s opponents.
Coach: Vincenzo Italian 7 – The Rossoblu boss deserves credit for crafting a team capable of taking on the biggest sides in Serie A. Bologna’s courage and willingness to take risks saw them exert almost stifling pressure for the hosts during of the first stages. Furthermore, they fought back after Inter’s comeback and grabbed a deserved point.
