Finale Coppa Italia, Milan-Bologna: cronaca, risultato e pagelle (LaPresse) – MilanLive.it
The Coppa Italia is Bologna’s, Milan defeated 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. A goal by Ndoye early in the second half was decisive. The Rossoneri did not react as a team hungry to win a game and a trophy should. Indecent were the trials of referee Mariani and the VAR room, but in Sergio Conceicao’s group more than a few people need to do some soul-searching. Right now the Diavolo is out of the European cups, will have to win the last two league games and hope.
Finale Coppa Italia, Milan-Bologna: la cronaca della partita
Good start for Milan, at 4′ immediately chance for Jimenez on a low assist from Leao, unfortunately the former Real Madrid player kicks badly with his left from inside the area: high ball. Bologna reacts after the Rossoneri shock. At 7′ Ferguson’s attempt from distance, ball high. A minute later Miranda’s insidious free-kick, Castro (possibly offside) pokes it in with his header, fantastic Maignan in clearing, then Fabbian fails to rebound towards the net and puts the ball out.
In 10′ two miracles by Skorupski: cross by Jimenez, almost an own goal by a defender, rebound by the Polish goalkeeper, then Jovic a few steps from the goal fails to score, again Skorupski to prevent Milan’s 1-0. On 18′ dangerous action in the Rossoneri area, but Holm misses the last touch and everything fades. Phase of the match favorable to the Italian team, inaccurate at the decisive moment. Imprecise also for Milan at the moment when it poured forward on counterattacks.
At 38′ cautioned Tomori for a clear foul on Ndoye. Four minutes later Holm soars a header off a corner, Maignan parries in two times. Mike tried to restart Leao, who was fouled badly by Ferguson: only yellow to the Bologna player, who deserved a red card. In the recovery cautioned Pulisic for protests over a foul whistled against Milan, when it was clear instead the foul intervention was by Ferguson, already cautioned and to be sent off. Absurd, referee Mariani not up to this Coppa Italia final. Milan-Bologna ends 0-0 in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half Leao sows panic in the red-blue area, on his low cross Lucumì deflects into the corner preventing the ball from coming conveniently to Jovic. In 50′ Holm tries a left-handed conclusion from outside the box, ball wide to Maignan’s left. At 53′ MILAN-BOLOGNA 0-1: NDOYE. The Swiss frees himself to shoot inside the area and unloads a powerful right-footer on which Maignan can do nothing. At 57′ Fabbian is cautioned for a foul on Jimenez.
Good play by Fofana, then Jovic wastes it all at 62′. Conceicao takes off Tomori, Jimenez and Jovic to put on Walker, Felix and Gimenez. In 67′ Reijnders assists from the back for Felix, who inside the area hits badly with his left: hallucinating. Two minutes later Italiano takes off Fabbian and Orsolini to put on Pobega and Casale. Gimenez wastes a chance at 71′: low cross by Hernandez, the Mexican doesn’t impact the ball well inside the area: Skorupski blocks easily. At 74′ Lucumì cautioned for holding on Pulisic. A minute later Holm has to leave, former Rossoneri Calabria enters.
Ndoye tries with his left from outside the box, ball wide. Bologna is defending well, Milan is struggling to make themselves dangerous at this stage. Out go Castro and Ndoye, in come Dallinga and Odgaard in the Rossoblu team. In the 88th minute, Conceicao puts on Chukwueze and Abraham for Fofana and Pulisic. Despite 6 minutes of recovery time, the Rossoneri do not hurt their opponents. Milan-Bologna 0-1: the Coppa Italia is Rossoblu.
