📸 Bologna asks for a penalty: the incident
At the 22nd minute, Bologna protests by asking the referee for a penalty for handball.
On Bernardeschi’s cross, from a very close distance, Soltvedt deflects it with his elbow. The referee and VAR find no irregularities.
😬 Freuler saves on the line, Rossoblu under pressure
Bologna is under great pressure every time Brann manages to attack. At the 19th minute, Holm almost scores the 1-0 by chipping over Skorupski, but Freuler providentially clears the ball from the goal line.
🧤 SUPER Skorupski, Bologna’s scare
Just 5 minutes in, from a corner development, Thorsteinsson scares Bologna. A great turn in the area by the attacker, excellent reflex by Skorupski who not only intervenes but also manages to catch the ball.

“In our style of play, they are fundamental: Castro is back to his levels, we hope Dallinga returns too, because having a substitute is crucial. Today we are more prepared and have conveyed the message of what is happening in Florence because Europe is a tough beast.
Italiano has been very good, even in choosing players like Odgaard who was our key. The formation did not support the three forwards, a formation chosen to find solidity, we come out stronger if we manage to maintain continuity between today and Pisa. It gives us the strength to face matches in every way.
Orsolini is unpredictable. He is a point of reference on and off the field, but then on the bench, there are key players like Dominguez who is ready. Our group is of good quality and they are all important, Orso above all. We are waiting for him as I expect a reaction from him because he is aware of being decisive at any moment.”
