Bologna secured a 3-0 victory against Salernitana in Serie A on Monday, moving closer to securing a spot in the Champions League.
With this win, Bologna, led by coach Thiago Motta, has won eight out of their last nine games, bringing them within two points of third-placed Juventus. If they finish fourth, it will be their first time qualifying for the Champions League.
Riccardo Orsolini opened the scoring with a remarkable left-footed shot from outside the box, while Alexis Saelemaekers added another goal just before halftime.
Charalampos Lykogiannis sealed the victory with a goal in stoppage time, assisted by Saelemaekers.
The match marked a disappointing start for Salernitana’s new coach Stefano Colantuono, their fourth coach this season. The team seems destined for relegation to the second tier, as they are currently 11 points away from safety with only eight games left.
Salernitana’s upcoming match against Sassuolo is crucial for their survival chances, especially after Sassuolo squandered a lead against Udinese in their recent game. The relegation battle is becoming increasingly intense, with every point crucial for both teams’ survival hopes.
