One assist and two goals for Argentina in the pocket of the Nesta team: the other goals were scored by Pobega and Orsolini, who then left due to a muscle problem in the first half.
The score reveals what remains of Bologna-Monza and a cold night at the Dall’Ara: 4-0. That’s all. A clear summary and without arpeggios, the Italian team passes the round of the Italian Cup (they will face Atalanta or Cesena) and enjoy an evening without dangers and a lot of certainty.Pobega,Orsolini,Dominguez and Castro scored. No goals, actions, good play conceded. Monza played the opening minutes more by foot than anything else,then Bologna took matters into their own hands and did not let up. If Italiano was looking for a road to victory, it seems he found it. Instead it was the corner (or part of it) with three to sing a chant against Thiago Motta.Bologna will meet the old man again on Saturday against Juve.
BOLOGNA NOW
—
It was an agile first half for the rossoblù. Not just for the goals. For once,concreteness is the right one,we can see it. And especially in the last meters. An oddity until a few weeks ago. On the other hand, Bologna took the game by attacking immediately and from all sides, from the side and from the center, with crosses and in spaces. Anything to get the advantage. Castro comes close after 3′: central progress, strong finish, deflected ball. Then it is Multi-Junior show: double dribbling, a trip towards Pizzignacco, everything is good, except the high, very high tiraccio. Fire in the pan. As Monza knows from the first moments how to stay and release the initial grip as well. But scoring opportunities: nothing. If anything, there are small signs that something can change, such as Lucumi’s beat on Petagna (without a whistle) or Vignato’s plays, always mobile and alert. In short, Monza seems alive.
CONCRETENESS
—
it is good to slow down the actions and, if anything, start again quickly. But Bologna is stronger. And if other occasions were sterile, not very concrete, the Italian Cup was a different evening.Bologna then relies on flashes like Orsolini (25′, corner ball) or Ferguson’s generous invasions. Pobega had the best idea of all: in the 32nd minute Castro-Orsolini-Castro, a touch for Pobega and a great left foot that bends Pizzignacco’s hands. The 1-0 chasm opens. In fact, Monza suffered an encore after three minutes (35 ‘). Orsolini scored it with a lightning counterattack, 2-0. His double has never been so bitter: Orso has to leave because of a muscle problem. In place of Dominguez: he will be crucial in the second half.
OTHER GOALS
—
it should be a very strong second half, with Bologna poised to score more goals. And indeed he succeeds. Despite the fact that Monza was able to find an interesting rhythm at times, taking advantage of the less aggressive play of the rossoblù.Not real dangers though. In the 7th minute Iling tries again: everything is fine, everything is beautiful, but the ball is wide. Ten minutes later Dominguez scored the third goal by capitalizing on another Iling-Junior trip to the left, the argentine makes no mistake from close range. Italian does not give up: it rises, it shouts, it points, it inspires. And it changes men. Inside Moro and Urbanski. Dallinga no, the Dutchman is still on the bench. from there Nesta is looking for a solution, a way to get the game back on track.Nothing really: Castro scores the 4-0 (31′) and closes shop.

Pobega not only contributed with a goal but also assisted in link-up play that kept Monza’s defense under pressure.
