Serie A, Napoli-Bologna 3-1: Insigne and Osimhen don’t discount | News

Double from the blue captain and a counterattack goal from the Nigerian. Soriano’s network is illusory

Internal success for the Naples that in the 26th day of A league beat the 3-1 Bologna by Mihajlovic consolidating the sixth place. Azzurri already ahead in the eighth with a precise right of Badge. Bologna’s reaction led to a Skov Olsen post and two goals disallowed in Palacio, but in the second half Osimhen sign the doubling. The network of Soriano in the 73rd minute he deceives Mihajlovic, beaten again by Badge who signed the brace three minutes later.

THE MATCH

It took the field to bring the smile back to Naples, a Gattuso it’s at Badge after midweek slag. The blue captain with a brace scored double on the three points in the postponement against Bologna, in a challenge played openly by both teams and full of scoring chances. In the 3-1 there was also room for the return to the goal of Osimhen, with a “Lukaku” ride in the open field to put an end to the ordeal that lasted months for the Nigerian. Soriano’s goal was useless for a good Bologna, curiously punished in the second half immediately after the changes made by Mihajlovic.

That the dispute could be sparkling, however, had already been understood from the very first bars. An error by Mbaye in the dribble started Ruiz’s special slalom, undecided, however, on the most beautiful. The action of the advantage, however, Napoli built it up a few minutes later, more precisely in the eighth, when the Spaniard in collaboration with Zielinski’s unmarked heel shot allowed to Badge to beat Skorupski with precision from the edge of the area. However, Bologna’s reaction was courageous and immediate. The rossoblù exploiting the good vein of Palacio and Skov Olsen they were able to put Gattuso’s defensive phase in difficulty, also finding a post with the Danish winger as well as two goals canceled by the Argentine striker.

To bring home the three points Gattuso studied the right move in the second half. After twenty balanced minutes, the Napoli coach decided to enter Osimhen lowering the center of gravity of their formation and opening spaces in the offensive half. Solution that became perfect in the 65th minute when from an opportunity for Bologna, the Azzurri quickly reversed the action with Zielinski by throwing the Nigerian in one on one with Danilo, overwhelmed by the 2-0 goal. Not only that, always restarting three minutes later the same Osimhen sensationally devoured the brace with an empty net, uncovering the blue side of the old unwritten law of football that at 73 ‘allowed to Soriano, on a ball recovered very high from Palacio on Demme, to reopen the games.

An illusion that lasted a few minutes for Bologna, surprised in the 76th minute at the resumption of play after a triple change made by Mihajlovic: on the long ball Osimhen spiked a ball that Badgeexploiting a mistake by De Silvestri, he slipped behind Skorupski for the 3-1, leaving Ospina and Skorupski with the flashes of the photographers in the final on Barrow and Politano. For Napoli came the fifth home victory in a row in this Serie A, vital to continue the race for a Champions League position with the direct clash against Milan on the horizon. For Bologna, however, the travel sickness continues.


REPORT CARDS

Badge 7.5 – Leave the Reggio Emilia controversy behind you by releasing the match coldly from the edge of the area. Find the brace that closes the match a quarter of an hour from the end, but he also makes the difference in the coverage phase by doubling steadily.

Zielinski 7 – He set up the winning assist for Insigne’s advantage, then played the whole contest with a muscle discomfort. On the trocar he always gives the impression of being able to invent something decisive and also sends Osimhen on goal.

Osimhen 6,5 – He leaves behind difficult months with a gallop full of power and speed for the goal of doubling. He enters the second half to take advantage of the spaces and does it perfectly, but he devours an empty goal goal.

Skov Olsen 6.5 – He is inspired by the “Diego Maradona”. Last season he found his first goal in Serie A, this time the post denies him the joy. Very useful in helping De Silvestri, he tries to embarrass first Ghoulam and then Hysaj with his dribbles. Sign the assist for Soriano.

Palacio 6,5 – The relationship with the goal remains complicated, this time they have (rightly) canceled two of them. For the rest he makes a lot of movement and is a constant apprehension for the defense of Napoli and Ospina, as demonstrated with the very high recovery that leads to the network.
