Bologna beats 2-0 Naples and flies

BOLOGNA (ITALPRESS) – A super Bologna continues to dream big. The team led by Vincenzo Italiano, in fact, runs 2-0 Napoli in the match valid for the eleventh day of Serie A 2025/2026 and flies in second place in the standings together with Inter and Rome: decide the networks of Thijs Dallinga and Jhon Lucumì.

After just 8 minutes Italian is already obliged to make the first replacement following the injury of Lukasz Skorupski: Given the absence of the second Ravaglia, the class 2007 Massimo Pessina is coming down. Archived an initial phase of study, at the 19′ comes the first shot towards the door by Elmas, which is easily blocked by the opponent’s goalkeeper. Three minutes later are the hosts making themselves dangerous with a blow of Lucumì’s head on the developments of a corner, which ends a little on the bottom. The game remains blocked, but at 32′ we try Rowe from the distance to break the balance: the conclusion of the former Marseille bounces in front of Milinkovic-Savic and risks deceiving him, but the Serbian is saved in a corner. The same player accuses of physical problems, which lead him to abandon the playing ground during the interval, when the tabellino still plays 0-0.

In the opening of the shoot Bologna returns to the field with great determination and aggressiveness, so that at 50′ he finds the net of the advantage with a turn to the flight of Thijs Dallinga: the Dutchman beats Milinkovic-Savic on the first pole and capitalizes to the maximum the excellent assist of the newly-entertained Cambiaghi. Naples tries to react, but it struggles to build offensive plots that can trouble rivals. At 63′ the felsineans complain for a alleged red card against Hojlund, which is only admonished after putting a blow to Ferguson. The Rossoblù prove to be more in the ball and at 66′ double with Jhon Lucumì that, on Holm’s traverse, anticipates Buongiorno and realizes the winning lead. Mister Antonio Conte tries to reopen the dispute by inserting fresh forces, but to prevail is nervousness since Neres and Lang are admonished after a few minutes.

At 76′ Gutierrez creates the clearest opportunity for Italian champions: on a cross of the tertine Holm risks the autogol by hitting the pole of the door defended by Pessina. The efforts made by the eleven campan do not bear fruit, but open the doors to the counterfeit of the felsineans that, in full recovery, flow the tris with Dallinga.

Bologna, therefore, conquers an important success for 2-0 and hooks Inter and Rome in second place with 21 points, leading to -1 from Naples, which remains first at altitude 22 with Milan. After the stop, the Blues will host the Atalanta al Maradona, but the Emilians will be engaged in the transfer of Bluenergy Stadium against Udinese.
