GENOA (ITALPRESS) – A vital comeback for Alberto Gilardino’s Genoa who, down by two goals against Bologna, managed to close to a 2-2 draw thanks to Andrea Pinamonti’s brace. In vain the goals of the initial double lead of Emilia sealed by first Orsolini and then Odgaard, with Vincenzo Italiano’s eleven having to surrender their third draw in as many matches.The first ring of the match came from the feet of Orsolini, who from the right side went to the middle and kicked with his left foot, finding Leali’s diving response. Bologna then became dangerous in 14′, first precisely with Orsolini and then, again from the distance, with Moro’s dangerous shot on which Leali again got his hands on. At 35′ the Emilians would find the 1-0 goal with Dominguez, who, however, celebrates in vain because an earlier hand touch of his makes the goal of the potential lead null and void. Advantage, however, would come just two minutes later, thanks to Orsolini’s venomous conclusion that followed by a deflection by Vasquez ended up in the net. Genoa were down at halftime, with Bologna in control and lethal in finding the 2-0 early in the second half: Leali’s rebound on the Emilian corner led to Odgaard’s stop and left-footed shot that slotted in behind the Genoa goalkeeper. Bologna’s double and inertia that seemed to be all on the side of Italiano’s team, with Genoa, however, reopening the game at 73′, on Casale’s error in disengagement that favored Ekhator’s service for Pinamonti who, one-on-one with Ravaglia, put in the 2-1 goal. Marassi which, after a few whistles, suddenly reignites as does Genoa. Gilardino’s team goes in search of the final forcing that ends with the winning header by Pinamonti who, on Martin’s cross, jumps higher than anyone else and brings the score back to even. Overall blackout by Bologna that effectively brings to the end credits the challenge at the Ferraris, with Genoa thus attempting to emerge, in terms of result and attitude (as well as injuries), from an extremely complicated period. – Photo Image -(ITALPRESS).
