Bologna passes just before game time. Castro’s sci-fi opening to try and find Dominguez. Cross inside, smooth from Ferguson and right-footed from Odgaard to beat De Gea.
Baseball-style celebration for Odgaard and De Silvestri.
At the start of the second half, a super opportunity for Bologna with Castro’s diagonal shot hitting the post.
Bologna fans are worried about the condition of Ndoye who treated himself on the sideline after a clash with Gosens before returning to the pitch. The winger, however, collapsed again, gritting his teeth so as not to waste a slot and even came close to scoring. At half-time the Swiss is out and Ferguson is in.
Viola had the best opportunities with first Cataldi and then Kean, both neutralized by Skorpuski.
Emotional scene before the kick-off: Vincenzo Italiano literally entered the Fiorentina bench greeting all his former boys with great joy.
From the away sector, however, a banner of support from the fans for Raffaele Palladino, absent due to the death of his mother.
