Milik misses a penalty but scores the equalizer: Juventus resume the game with a 1-1 draw in Bologna

The final round of Black April for Juventus ends with a draw in Bologna: a 1-1 draw that does not allow Allegri’s team to beat Lazio and move to second place in the standings – It also remains in the goals of the club -, but this marked the end of the lady’s points bleeding, after three consecutive home defeats in the league. A tie between lights and shadows, which, compared to the last few performances, showed Juventus more compact and aggressive in terms of personality but with great limitations in terms of maneuvering. Bologna failed to capitalize on the initial advantage, then struggled to contain the black and white push but without giving up some serious explosiveness.

Bologna feature

–

Allegri in Bologna resumes action from his supporters, but also from a trident that sees Milik in the middle, Chiesa and Kostic on the wings, after Di Maria was injured at the last minute, not even on the bench, as well as the injured Kane. Four in defense from the first minute, with Cuadrado back in the back line, the duo of Danilo-Gatti in the middle and Alex Sandro on the left. Thiago Motta responds with three Orsolini-Barrow-Ferguson up front and an identical formation. The approach to the match is decisive and focused, and the first penetration is by Keiza, and Kyriakopoulos stopped him in the extreme. Then it was the turn of Bologna, who passed in the first rush: in the sixth minute, Danilo touched Ursolini’s knee in the area, and VAR screened In Dall’Ara it does not work but it does in Lissone: It’s a penalty. From the penalty spot, in the tenth minute, it was Orsolini who dislodged Szczesny with his left foot, scoring his ninth goal of the season.

The run-up… But there’s Skorupski

–

Juventus accuses the blow, but responds: Keiza is still playing the attack, he rebounded from a corner kick. Then begins the display of Skorupski, who saved his goal on four occasions between 25 and 32 minutes, opening the series with a shutout on Milik and continuing with a double shutdown on Fagioli’s conclusions. In the 29th minute, one of the decisive moments of the match: Lucumi Melek, who also lost his shoe, lands on the area line. A substitution again and an away decision again, with the same result: it’s a penalty. In the 31st minute, Milik himself moved to the penalty kick, at first, He invented the miserable jump and pull: Once again Skorupski is ready to set a date for glory, a minute later, in yet another foray by the Polish striker. Bold and aggressive Juventus crushes Bologna in half, runs and creates chances. Like that of Locatelli, who in the 44th minute prefers a cross to a volley but no teammate is willing to deflect into the area. The end therefore belonged entirely to Bologna, as Barrow called on Szczesny to make a decisive save in the 46th minute, followed by a “block” from Gatti. Once again, one of his escapes glorifies the Juventus goalkeeper, but according to the referee, it is offside.

Exchange and balance

–

The second half didn’t show any noteworthy emotions until the substitutions: in the 58th minute, Sule and Eiling rested Fagioli and Costi. And the most important black and white flames in the second half were born from the feet of the newcomers: in the 60th minute, Milik found with his left foot the right hole in which he put the ball to make it 1-1, and three minutes later Ealing sent it high at the invitation of the Argentine. The Pole has not scored a goal since January 22 (3-3 with Atalanta), and it was the first goal for Juventus since April 1, when it was Kane who scored. Bologna makes Juventus shudder with a header from Bosch, then Juventus loanee Cambiasso enters the field, and Meriti takes over from Keza. The pace of the match accelerated, and Bologna became dangerous again, as Chesney was decisive twice in two minutes with a bicycle kick carried out by Orsolini and a corner kick from Zirkzy saved. Juventus got into trouble, and Aibescher got a good ball in the 84th minute but missed the goal. Same finale for Soulé who sends soaring from an excellent position. The finish is a pinball machine: Even Cambiaso nearly doubled, again Szczesny says no.
