It was Legrottaglie that fucked up and allowed Gila to score
Watching the match myself, that didn't go unnoticed. Legro's failed marking resulted in the goal that sent Bologna to Serie B. That's a reputation for any Il Bidone d'Oro to live up to.
Frey was simply fantastic. I even learned a new, albeit obvious, Italian word watching the game as the RAI announcer described him:
impeccabile. And he was. If he ends up going to the EPL, he should be the best goalie in the league outside of maybe Cech.
Home field advantage? More like who had the suspension advantage in this brace. Being a big Parma fan, I was happy to see them stay on. It still surprises me how much
salvezza is celebrated just this shy of winning the Scudetto. When in Siena for their salvezza last year (after they lost to Juve 3-1 at home), the entire town partied all night long.
But I have great respect for Bologna and can't help but feel a loss for Serie A. Mazzone is the coolest old school ref around. And Bologna played us hard and incredibly tough this season. IMO, Fiorentina deserved to drop to Serie B more than Bologna did. Fiorentina should feel very, very lucky.
