Nicolás Domínguez
is one of the important pieces of Bologna and this Friday, at the start of date 31 of
Serie A
, he scored a great goal that was not enough to reverse the 2-1 victory of Hellas Verona, which clings to permanence .
The play began three minutes into the six added by referee Maurizio Mariani at the feet of the former Vélez, who went to look for the ball at the door of the crescent of the area.
There, Nicola Sansone combed a first touch from Lewis Ferguson and the Argentine punctured it over goalkeeper Lorenzo Montipò.
The midfielder, champion of the Copa América 2021 and frequently called up by Lionel Scaloni to the Argentine National Team, had an outstanding performance despite the defeat and was encouraged to kick on goal six times.
However, that was not enough in a game that opened in the last play of the first half.
The infraction of the goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski on the former San Lorenzo Adolfo Gaich was sanctioned in the second instance by the VAR, which had previously reversed a foul in the area charged by the referee at minute 26, and Simone Verdi awarded the first penalty of the season with a shot to the lower left corner.
Verdi, formerly of Bologna, was the key to the victory because he reappeared 17 minutes into the match to score the second.
Bologna could not clear a corner and the ball was left to Davide Faraoni, who once again sent the cross into the six-yard box directly at the head of the Italian striker.
At the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, Bologna was a favorite on paper because it is eighth in Serie A with 44 points, it is four away from the qualifying zone for the European Cups and it was facing a rival that was fighting not to lose the category but was coming to tie the leader Napoli.
With these three points, in addition, Hellas Verona improved their chances of staying.
Now, he is 18th with 26 points, the same amount as Spezia, who visits Sampdoria this Saturday, very difficult with the relegation with 16 points, just three more than Cremonese.
On the next day, Bologna will face Juventus, while Hellas Verona will visit Cremonese in a key clash for their stay in the top flight, with seven dates left to go.
