Serie A: Bologna Defeats Como 2-0, Bolstering Top Four Ambitions
Bologna extended their strong run of form with a convincing 2-0 victory over 10-man Como at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium. The win keeps the Rossoblu firmly in contention for a coveted Champions League spot.
Lorenzo De Silvestri opened the scoring in the 25th minute, heading home a Charalampos Lykogiannis cross. The hosts dominated possession and created numerous chances, hitting the woodwork twice in the first half.
Como’s task became even more difficult when Alieu Fadera was sent off for dissent just before halftime. Bologna capitalized on their numerical advantage in the 66th minute, as Giovanni Fabbian coolly volleyed in Juan Miranda’s cross to double the lead.
Despite being reduced to 10 men, Como showed resilience and had a few opportunities of their own. Lukasz Skorupski made a spectacular save in stoppage time to preserve the clean sheet.
The victory moves Bologna closer to securing a top-four finish and potential qualification for next season’s Champions League. Manager Thiago Motta will be pleased with his team’s performance as they continue to exceed expectations this campaign.
Como, meanwhile, will need to regroup quickly as they battle to avoid relegation in the final months of the season.
