Nothing to be done for Bologna who said goodbye to Thiago Motta with the defeat at Marassi against Genoa: Gilardino’s boys closed their championship with a 2-0 victory.
The last game of Thiago Motta to the Bologna didn’t give him many smiles: the rossoblù fell at Marassi against Genoa who closed his championship with a good victory, a great satisfaction for Gilardino which ended its championship in mid-table, without ever suffering the fear of having to be embroiled in the fight for relegation.
Bologna’s greeting to its coach did not go as everyone expected and it was clear from the first minutes. Grifone started much better and in the 13th minute took the lead with a beautiful move: Martin served a backward cross, Malinovskyi he is ready and with a first intention shot he first sends the ball to the post and then into the net.
Motta’s team takes some time to react to the unexpected disadvantage but halfway through the first half it can be felt with Fabbian who with a sudden burst surprises Vogliacco and lets off a shot towards the goal which crashes onto the post and makes Marassi tremble.
Thiago Motta is moved as he bids farewell to Bologna: “I will be there for them at any time”
Bologna creates but Genoa doubles
In the second half, Bologna’s full personality comes out and they don’t want to give in in their last championship match. In the space of a few minutes he found several opportunities to equalize, twice with shots from the edge of the box Fabbian and one with the opportunity to Orsolini who gets stopped by Leali.
Despite the rossoblù’s excellent moment, Genoa scored again in the 59th minute. The Griffin grits his teeth and moves forward with Gudmundsson which serves in depth Vitinha: the Portuguese sees the opposing goalkeeper outside the posts and goes past him with a right-footed shot that ends up on goal for 2-0.
It is the goal that closes the match and gives victory to Gilardino’s boys on the last day of the championship. Thiago Motta says goodbye to Bologna with a defeat that prevents him from dreaming of third place in the standings, a goal that would have further embellished a season that has already entered history.
