Bologna beats Lazio and continues hunting for the Champions League

ROME, 18 FEB (ANSA) – Bologna defeated Lazio 2-1 this Sunday (18), at the Olympic Stadium, and continues to hunt for a place in the next UEFA Champions League.

Gustav Isaksen opened the scoring for the Biancoceleste club in the 18th minute of the first half, but Oussama El Azzouzi, taking advantage of the opponent’s ball failure in the 39th minute, and Joshua Zirzkee, in the 33rd minute of the second half, sealed the Rossoblù turnaround away from home.

With the victory, Italian-Brazilian Thiago Motta’s men reached 45 points in Series A, in fifth place. The score is the same as fourth-placed Atalanta, which closes the “Champions zone”, but the “Goddess” has an advantage in the tiebreaker criteria.
