Sunday evening, Bologna traveled to Turin to face Massimiliano Allegri’s Juventus. At the end of an intense meeting, the two teams neutralize each other with the score of 1-1, thanks to the equalization of Dusan Vlahovic on a crossed header (80th). But the match could very well have turned to the advantage of the men of Thiago Motta, little spoiled by the arbitration. Especially after the penalty refused just before the goal of the Serbian center forward which is very expensive on arrival.
On a loss of ball from Paul Pogba in the 71st minute of play, Bologna projects quickly forward and offers a lightning counter-attack. Joshua Zirkzee tries a shot, repelled by Mattia Perin, but the ball lands very close to the feet of Dan Ndoye, largely jostled by the return of Iling-Junior. Not enough according to referee Di Bello, who does not whistle a penalty. Worse, the latter will go so far as to give a yellow card to Thiago Motta and exclude a member of his staff for having protested on the bench. “You should have whistled that straight away, you didn’t even need the VAR!”would have yelled the former PSG midfielder according to DAZN, furious. Despite the anger of the Italian tactician, nothing helped and the Old Lady took the opportunity to grab a generous draw.
