Bologna and Udinese drew 1-1 thanks to goals from Payero in the 46th and Saelemaekers in the 78th. Rossoblù with ten men for almost half an hour due to Beukema’s expulsion in the 64th minute. In the 95th minute, Fabio Cannavaro’s team hits the post with Davis. The Bolognese have risen to 63 points and remain fourth, two points behind Juventus. The Friulians are at 29 points, two points away from safety.
The match
In the first half the match, with very high stakes, the Champions League for Bologna and salvation for Udinese, leads the two teams to study each other and avoid exposing themselves. In the 18th minute the rossoblù, who dominate in terms of ball possession but not in terms of scoring opportunities, which have been non-existent up until now, go on the attack with Kristiansen on the left wing, but Bijol intercepts the ball intended for Zirkzee in time.
In the 46th Freuler misses a save for Bologna, Samardzic attacks for the Friulians, Lucca attempts a shot but inadvertently hits a cross for Payero who puts it into the net: Udinese in the lead.
In the second half, in the 64th minute, a foul by Beukema on Samardzic thrown towards the goal, the referee pulls out the yellow card and sends off the rossoblù player for receiving yellow cards.
In the 72nd minute Zirkzee overtakes three opponents and makes a pass to Ndoye who shoots from a tight angle, but is stopped by the Friulian defense.
These are the dress rehearsals of the goal. At the 78th free kick for Bologna from the midfield, Saelemaekers attempts the cross but his shot goes under the crossbar and enters the net.
