MILAN. Milan does not break through against a good Bologna and is forced to a tasteless 0-0. Stefano Pioli’s team leaves two very heavy points on the road for the scudetto race, reaching only +1 on Napoli second and +4 on Inter third, still waiting to recover the challenge with the Bolognese at the end of the month. 31 shots towards the rossoblu goal are not enough, but only 6 of them in the mirror, demonstrating a lack of clarity and coldness in the decisive moments in a decidedly crooked evening.
As expected, the Rossoneri are trying to play the game right from the start, but at 4 ‘the first real chance happens to the Emilians with Djiks, who tries as he can to deflect on the fly on Hickey’s cross but misses the face of the goal. On the other hand, it is Leao who wastes left-handed from an excellent position, but Bologna plays a very good football and, between 21 ‘and 26’, scares the opponents at least three more times: Arnautovic kicks high, Aebischer central, while on the right from a distance of Barrow it is Maignan who performs a great diving intervention. Theo takes care of shaking the devil a little with a torpedo from a distance, then close to the interval Giroud engages Skorupski with a nice twist of the head.
The Polish goalkeeper is also attentive at the beginning of the second half on Leao’s right-footed shot, while on the 61st minute he can’t help but ‘blow’ out a poisonous diagonal from Calabria. With the passing of the minutes, Milan loses clarity and is no longer able to properly scare the guest rearguard, who defends in an orderly way, conceding very little to the Rossoneri. One of the last attempts in the very long recovery (8 minutes) is by the newly entered Rebic, whose header is lifted over the crossbar by Skorupski with a nice thrust of the kidneys.
