Bologna completes the scoreboard of the round of 16: Thiago Motta's team beats Cagliari 1-0 with an own goal by Obert from a header by the former Lykogiannis and takes the pass for the Olimpico match against Lazio in January .
For Thiago Motta this is the first victory at the helm of Bologna after the draw with Sampdoria and the knockouts with Empoli, Juventus and Napoli.
The rossoblù coach asked for signs of continuity in the performance of the 'Maradona' and confirmed five elevenths (Posch, Bonifazi, Ferguson, Barrow and Zirkzee) of the formation lined up on Sunday;
large rotations instead for Cagliari, with Liverani changing the whole eleven compared to the success with Brescia, thinking about Monday's match against Ascoli.
Bologna finds dangerous conclusions in the first half with Sansone (twice) and Bonifazi and sees a goal canceled by Schouten for a millimeter offside at 40 ', actions inspired by the direction of Moro.
But it is the Sardinians who come close to scoring with Barreca's crossbar in the 38th minute in the only opportunity created on the development of free-kick.
The turning point came in the second half: in the 24th minute, Lykogiannis hit his head on Orsolini's corner and Obert with a deviation knocked out Aresti, for the advantage of Bologna, after an opportunity devoured by Soriano face to face with the opposing goalkeeper.
