Bologna stopped at home by Udinese: 1-1 at Dall’Ara

Another big, another tie in this first day of the championship.

Bologna forced to a home draw by Udinese, in a first day of Serie A in which the most expected teams in the league for now just can not find the way to victory. It also applies to the Rossoblù who will participate in the next Champions League and who do not go beyond 1-1 against an opponent good at never leaving the game.

The first half passes without the result unlocking, but there is no shortage of excitement. In the first half hour Orsolini and Moro come to the fore, then Castro wastes by looking for Fabbian instead of finishing firsthand into the net from an excellent position. Bologna still dangerous with Ndoye, who does not take advantage of a splendid opening by Orsolini and concludes on the bottom. He, again, then misses aim just seconds from the recovery.

The goals, absent in the first half, soon arrived early in the second half. After a double save by Udinese on Orsolini and Ndoye (first Okoye, then Giannetti on the line), Erlic earned a penalty that Orsolini converted at 57'. It seems done, but Udinese doesn't go for it and after a first untapped goal ball by Lucca finds the equalizer. Skorupski knocks down Payero in the box, then neutralizes the penalty entrusted to Thauvin but nothing canò on the header of Giannetti who at 69' scores on the subsequent corner kick.

In the final Bologna failed seriously to trouble Udinese except in the midst of a recovery with Aebischer, thus collecting only one point. The same haul collected so far forò by Inter, Milan and Fiorentina, and one more than Napoli. For a Serie A that continues to give surprises on its first day.
