Bologna He hit the Olympic of Rome: he beat 1-0 to the Milan With goal of Dan ndoy And he cut a 27 -year -old drought without titles when he was crowned Italian Cup champion, Trophy that did not get 51 years ago.
The set that Vicenzo Italiano leads was intelligent from beginning to end in the decisive game: he studied the rival, was encouraged to play the same, won the goal and then knew how to take care of his advantage.
The Rossoblú had in the Colombian Jhon Lucumí A beast when marking and in the Argentine Santi Castro A soldier delivered to the cause, who went beyond looking for goals. The two South Americans were holders, while Benjamín Domínguez He saw it from the bank.
Milan, on the other hand, could not live up to it. He wanted, but he barely lasted a few minutes at each stage until the opponent found him the return. The Lombardo painting, unlike Bologna, could not counteract what they proposed.
A promising start and a smarter team: Bologna
The start of the game had two different teams: Milan assuming the offensive prominence and Bologna closed behind, waiting for the contract and the search to force errors in the Rossonero background. But that was just a print. Initial Zion.
It seemed that it would be a final of great emotions. Three minutes away, Alex Jiménez He could not control a last center by Rafael Leao and threw very high in front of the arch. The Rossoblú response was immediate: first with a risk chance, annulled by offside and then with Santi Castrothat a rebound was found in the small area, which he could not give direction.
In 10 minutes, Lukasz Skorupski He saved Bologna with a double stop, when a Jiménez center was rejected by his own defender and was almost served as Christian Pulisicbut the goalkeeper blocked again.
In a short time, the initial stop with well -defined roles, Turn in a game of equal to equal to the first leg, where the whole of Vicenzo Italiano was made of the ball And the midfield is just a passage zone.
For its part, andl Sérgio Conceição picture retreated and without going out to press highso the game was losing part of the intensity of the beginning. With the run of the minutes, they both lost depth. Some strong infractions appeared, the game was cut, which benefited Milan because Bologna had become the most dangerous.
The passage through the changing rooms recharged the two teams, who returned to pure intensity and round trip. Milan wanted to regain control of the first minutes of the game, but Rossoblú hit quickly with a play last half of the court, Giovanni Fabbian leaked a great pass in the crescent, Riccardo Orsolini escaped to the arch, but they went down from behind. The ball was at stake and Danyye did not forgive with a corner right: 1-0.
Now all the weight fell on the Rossonero. Conceição made a triple change and sent Kyle Walker, Santiago Giménez and João Félix to the field seeking to add offensive power; Bologna, with the advantage in his pocket, closed back, sought to lower his rhythm and try to take advantage of some counterattack.
Under watch pressure, Milan failed to join passes, find societies to reach the rival area. For those of Italian, the mission became only one: endurerevoking it if necessary, cutting any Milanese attack, although that meant resigning almost any option to score a second goal to ensure the title.
The minutes were consumed and the Italian Cup, in short, was left to the fact that things did better: Bologna.
