Bolonia and Atalanta enter the 14th round of the championship in quite different moods. The hosts are Dijks and Schouten from the first minute but the classification does not smile too much, the victory has been lacking in four days and there is the problem of defensive permeability. Mister Mihajlovic, also by necessity, confirms the majority of the owners of this recent round of close matches, except for surprising Baldursson with the insertion from the first minute of 2002. The guests, for their part, seem to have just found the right brilliance of the best times, they return from three useful consecutive results and with the help of the couple Ilicic-Muriel they hope to gift themselves the connection with the Europa League area for Christmas.
The first twenty minutes are of study, no team is hooked to the room and emotions are affected. But when at 21 ′ Ilicic catches the ball in the area and tries to fit in between Schouten and Medel, the Dutchman knocks him out and Chiffi can only assign a penalty that Muriel converts without problems. Barely two minutes pass, and the Colombian doubles to pick up a ball returned by Dijks’ header, jumping Medel and Danilo with half a hat and punching Da Costa with a splendid southpaw at the far post.
The Bolognese are stunned and struggle to find the key to the problem of a game that is already slipping dangerously towards Bergamo, but the Goddess does not bite the neck and the match begins to be played mainly in the center of the field. The final whistle of the first half sends a Bologna that has never managed to find its way to the goal and an Atalanta that in the second half of the fraction has limited itself to legitimizing the double advantage.
The guests begin the recovery without Ilicic, replaced by Miranchuk, but continue to handle themselves without any problems. The possession of the ball by the guests further numbs a confrontation that was never too lively, at 16 ‘the Bolognese try to call with a beautiful finish from the edge of Barrow but the former Nerazzurri’s shot goes very high off the crossbar from Gollini. Mihajlovic then plays the Svanberg and Orsolini cards for Baldursson and Barrow, and it is precisely ‘Bear’ who wonderfully feeds Tomiyasu with a filter from the outside, which at 28 ‘cuts towards the goal, receives the assistance of his partner in the area and the opposing goalkeeper passes with a delicious balloon, effectively reopening the match.
At that time Sinisa also inserted Dominguez for Schouten, and a little later he was forced to take over the exhausted Dijks by throwing Paz into the fray. The Argentine defender, at 37 ′, immediately becomes the protagonist of what is probably the most important play of his career in rossoblù, goring in the bag an aerial bank of Palacio in a corner of Vignato and finding a tie unexpected. From then on, the hosts have only to grit their teeth, while the Orobics, who were not expecting a comeback, go on the attack with the force of their nerves. The recovering Mihajlovic lads even have a chance to snatch an incredible victory, but the exhausted Palacio and Soriano fail to pull off a potentially dangerous counterattack.
This is how a match ends 2-2 in which Atalanta lifted their hands off the handlebars too early, while Bolonia should be credited for never having broken and continuing to believe in their football, putting a lot of heart into it. The third consecutive draw does not upset a ranking that everyone hoped could be better at this point, but in recent games there have been precious players who finally left their injuries behind, and the hope is that when the championship resumes it will be possible to finally see the best possible BFC in the field.
