Torino privateer, Pisa getting closer to Serie B

External blow for Torino, which in its Sunday match valid for the thirty-first day of Serie A overcomes Pisa 1-0 and gains oxygen in the salvation race. In the first half the granata tried from the distance: first Pedersen, then twice Gineitis, but without being able to really trouble the opponent’s goal. The hosts answer with Angori, also inaccurate from long distance. So it goes to halftime at 0-0.

In the start of the second half Hiljemark’s team comes close to taking the lead, but Tramoni and Stojilkovic do not intend to and waste a great chance. When the match seemed destined for a draw, the turning point came: in the 80th minute Pedersen picked up Ebosse’s throw and served first to the newly-entered Che Adams, who signed the decisive goal from a few steps. With this success, Torino climbs to 36 points and overtakes Parma in 12th place. Pisa, on the other hand, remains last at 18, along with Verona.

Bologna, on the other hand, brings home an important victory in Cremona without getting distracted by thoughts of the Europa League. At the Zini it ends 2-1 for the Rossoblù, who put Cremonese in extreme difficulty in terms of salvation. In the match that opens Serie A’s Easter Sunday, the Emiliani dominated the first half: after just a quarter of an hour they were already ahead by two goals thanks to Joao Mario and Rowe. Bologna also came close to the third with Castro and especially Moro, who hit the crossbar on a free kick in the final.

In the second half, Italiano’s team lowered the pace and managed the lead, while Cremonese, trying to take advantage of a triple change made by Giampaolo at halftime, tried to push without, however, finding space. The goal that reopened the game came only in the 91st minute, on a penalty kick converted by Bonazzoli. There is also tension in the final, with one expulsion on each side: out go Maleh and Ferguson. The result, however, does not change: Bologna wins 2-1, rising to 45 points, while Cremonese remains stuck at 27.
