A key victory to boost themselves in the standings.

Bologna beat Lecce in extremis, thanks to Riccardo Orsolini's goal in the final that decided the 1-0 win at the Dall'Ara at 85' allowing the Rossoblù to return to winning ways at home after a long wait. Thanks to this success, moreover, Vincenzo Italiano’s team has a way to continue an unbeaten streak now of eight days (last defeat against Napoli, on August 25) and, above all, to momentarily take itself just three points behind Juventus, which closes the Europa zone.

The start of the match confirms Bologna’s desire to get back on track: Castro, Orsolini and Ndoye create the first headaches for Lecce already in the first ten minutes, the first clear scoring chance bears the signature of Ndoye himself after the quarter of an hour. The ball è però high over the crossbar. At this point, the guests also entered the game, with Pierotti and Krstovic coming alive in Ravaglia’s sides.

Bologna trembled when Rafia slotted the ball into the net, but the goal didn't happen because of a foul by Dorgu on Lucumì. The confirmation è forè that of a Lecce, all but willing to play only defense. The hosts però wanted to win, and at the end of the half Freuler tried: his touch just a step away from the goal è però completely out of measure and the ball soared into the stands.

The resumption also opens under the banner of balance, so much so that è Krstovic builds the first real chance. After the first substitutions ordered by the two coaches, però, Bologna begins to be favored in an important way. And so after the hour of play Miranda grazes the Giallorossi goal, Fabbian tries a header but fails to give strength to the ball, then comes the game-winning goal. He signed it at 85'Orsolini, who was good at framing the ball crossed by Miranda into the net. And the Dall'Ara can come back to celebrate.
