Bologna-Inter 2-1: Radu duck, Samson scores the winning goal

Incredible at the Dall’Ara. Inter gave Milan half the Scudetto and managed to lose a match dominated for long stretches and immediately downhill with a great goal from Perisic. Failed to double while he dominated, Inzaghi’s team first suffers the equalizer of the former Arnautovic and then in the 82nd minute, after a restart at the boarding, gives Samson the winning goal with an incredible error by Radu, who replaced Handanovic, blocked from back pain.

First half

–

Taniga prefers Svanberg to Dominguez in the middle of the field with Schouten and Soriano. De Silvestri and Hickey preside over the wings, Barrow supports Arnautovic in attack. Inzaghi loses Handanovic (back pain) and Radu goes into goal, who had only played the eighth of the Coppa Italia against Empoli this season. Not even Bastoni at his best, so Dimarco is confirmed. Ahead it’s up to Lautaro and Correa. Inter started at full strength, placing themselves in the opposing half of the pitch with continuous overlapping on the outside. Perisic at 3 ‘puts the match down with a great goal. This time the Croatian starts from the right, jumps an opponent, focuses and throws a big left under the crossbar from the edge that surprises Skorupski. The Nerazzurri don’t stop and waste more than one opportunity (Dimarco, Lautaro, Skriniar) to double. Bologna seems annihilated, but Inter are to blame for not taking advantage of it. At 22 ‘the Emilians look out for the first time in the parts of Radu, good at the exit to anticipate Arnautovic on the cross from Svanberg. However, there remains a signal of the wind that is turning. At 26 ‘Lautaro kicks too centrally and two minutes later the photocopy of Bologna has a very different outcome. Barrow’s cross from the trocar, little Dimarco remains inexplicably on Arnautovic and the former head finds the corner for the 1-1. All to be redone for Inzaghi, who is also booked for protests. Perisic, however, remains out of the category and at 33 ‘goes to the bottom and brush for Dumfries, who does not hit the mirror on the far post. Inter are back to press, but Bologna are now better placed on the pitch, conceding less and with the usual pattern – ball in the middle on the trocar, where Arnautovic and De Silvestri attack the far post – still puts the Austrian in a position to hit. at the end of time. Good for Radu that the header is weak and central. Lautaro first tries in full recovery, then Theate almost on the line anticipates De Vrij and on the rebound Dimarco’s left hits the rossoblu wall.

Second half

–

We start again with the same 22 and the same script: Inter playing the game and Bologna ending with two compact lines and trying to restart. Dimarco knocks even four times in the first 9 ‘with his left-handed, first high and then central ball on two occasions and finally deflected for a corner by Medel. On the corner Skorupski is saved on Correa. In the absence of spaces, an invention by Calha or Correa would be needed, but speed of execution and the right flicker are lacking. With fatigue, at the stroke of the hour of play, nervousness and opportunities grow, because the teams get longer. Inzaghi plays the trident card, with Dzeko and Sanchez taking over Correa and the yellow card Barella. The pressure at this point turns into a siege, but grasslands also open up on the other side and at 65 ‘Skriniar is very good at recovering Arnautovic. Taniga is looking for fresh forces in the middle of the field with Dominguez and Aebischer for Soriano and Svanberg. At 70 ‘he touches the defender goalkeeper D’Ambrosio and Dimarco comes out. However, Inter have spent a lot and Bologna raises the center of gravity by about ten meters. Theate is exalted in the battle, first provoking a warning from Dumfries and then anticipating Dzeko on Sanchez’s cross. Lautaro head does not find the mirror, clarity becomes an optional and Calha falls and lets Theate start again, knocks him out and takes the yellow that will make him miss the trip to Udine on Sunday. But the worst for the Nerazzurri is yet to come. In fact, on a lightening throw-in, Radu incredibly smoothes the ball that Samson, as soon as he enters, only has to put into the goal before it crosses the line by himself. Of the many ways to throw away a Scudetto, Inter really finds the most unthinkable.
