With Gary Medel as starter: Bologna beat Fiorentina to first Serie A victory

The national defender played until the 79′ in the match against the Florencia team. Led by an interim, the rojiazules are beginning to leave behind them the bad start to the season.

Bologna by Gary Medel takes its breath away. The red and blue team obtained their first victory in Serie A this Sunday. It was 2-1 against Fiorentina, during the debut and farewell of interim Luca Vigiani on the bench of the Emilia-Romagna club, after the departure of Sinisa Mihajlovic. The national defender started and played until the 79′.

An uneventful duel was experienced. In particular for the purple cast, who at the end of the first half had to replace Dodo, injured, to make way for Lorenzo Venuti and start the second half to make way for Riccardo Saponara, replacing the also unfortunate Riccardo Sotil. Of course, that didn’t seem to hit them right away.

At 54′, the Argentinian Lucas Martínez Quarta opened the account of the visit. The second ball from a corner kick cleared by the Bolognese defense was won by Saponara, who attacked the right sector, centered at ground level, finding the loot of the Transandean defender. The ancient river had remained standing, accompanying the action, and had its price.

With the game on the rise, another setback was in store for Gary Medel’s men. The rossoblu they came to the match against Fiorentina without any wins to their name. Three draws and two defeats were recorded. On the other hand, the Florencia team had won a match, of course, they also added three parities, plus a loss.

But the reaction came. Just five minutes into the count, Marko Arnautovic played a ball from behind, almost clear, inadvertently generating a clearance for his striking partner Musa Barrow. The Gambian only went face-to-face after a miscalculation by Brazilian Igor, who, in his rush to clear, let it pass. Alone against the goalkeeper, the striker did not miss.

And the return is quickly consumed. At 62′, the Dutchman Denso Kasius won the argument on the ball from Cristiano Biraghi, he crossed quickly and the striker Marko Arnautovic defined with mastery. A corner kick, which hit the post and went in. The Austrian continues in a state of grace: six goals in as many matches at the start of the season. Of course, the bad news for the locals came after the entrance; since the Austrian gunner had to be replaced due to inconvenience.
