Lazio-Bologna 1-2

Bologna continues to dream: Thiago Motta’s men beat Lazio 2-1 by coming back from a one-goal deficit in the 'lunch match' of the twenty-fifth day of Serie A and thus go on to win three points that could have a considerable specific weight in the economy of the race for qualification to the next Champions League.

To start better are the biancocelesti, despite Patric's injury that forces Maurizio Sarri to replace him with Casale after 11': a couple of laps of hands later Immobile goes in on goal but the referee cancels for offside on the assistant's signal, while at 18' there are no problems in validating Isaksen's goal, scoring after an exchange with the Lazio captain.

Bologna takes a while to regroup but strikes at the first real lunge, at 39' taking advantage of a glaring Lazio error: Luis Alberto and Provedel miss the disengagement, Fabbian recovers the ball and fishes El Azzouzi, free to make the 1-1, the result with which the two teams will go into the locker room for halftime.

The pace seemed to drop in the second half, Bologna grew minute by minute and in 78' took the lead: Kristiansen crossed from the left, Zirkzee è unleashed in the box and could do nothing but put his signature on 2-1. With all the substitutions already exhausted, Sarri has no more weapons at his disposal and the Biancocelesti on the pitch, despite the final assault, fail to avoid defeat.

Thus won Bologna, which rejoined Atalanta in fourth place, climbing to 45 points. For Lazio, after the success in the Champions League against Bayern, è a step backwards not only from the point of view of morale but also from that of the standings: orobici and felsinei, in fact, now have a good eight points ahead of the biancocelesti.
