Austrian Marko Arnautovic gave Bologna the win (2-0) on Monday with a brace against Sampdoria, a result that brings the ‘rossoblú’ team closer to mathematical safety after matchday 32 of Serie A, which ended on the contrary.
Bologna got three gold points at home that could be worth the stay. Arnautovic reappeared to unclog an intense game in which Samp also scored.
Bologna started well in the first half. He is not clearly dominant, but he has the clearest opportunities and ideas. Sampdoria was out of control, but landed with enough risk.
In the second half, except for the ten minutes where the visitors dominated, the match was always in the hands of Bologna. And to the Arnautovics, the most dangerous man in his squad.
When it appears it is customary, but it is not always done. When match time ended, Arnautovic opened the scoring with a pure ‘9’ goal. Cross passed the area to touch left winger Dijks and the Austrian, who was faster than his markers, inserted the ball into the goal.
Bologna then showed their best moments and ran into the woodwork twice in less than two minutes. One of them from the man of the night, who hit a left-footed shot from the front directly into a square. But in the 75th minute, once again the smartest, he took advantage of a failed clearance by the Samp defense to dribble past the goalkeeper and sentence the game.
He looked for the ‘hat trick’ taking advantage of the gaps left by a Sampdoria focused attack in the final minutes, but it was impossible for him to get the ball.
On defense, Chilean Gary Medel led Bologna’s defense in 75 minutes of his play, where he received an intense tackle on the upper part of a tibia where he needed medical attention.
The team led by Serbian Sinisa Mihajlovic was unable to penetrate the rival goal in four days, against the lowest team, Salernitana, and it was itself the Austrian striker who scored the goal.
With this victory, with six games left, Bologna breathed, knowing that, except for the surprise, 12th, with 37 points, they had fulfilled the safety goal, although not yet mathematically. Sampdoria is 16th with 29 points and needs to add to maintain the category.
