Back-and-forth in seconds: Bologna-Empoli with neither winners nor losers
Bologna-Empoli 1-1
The first success of the season for Bologna still has to wait, which at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium draws with Empoli 1-1 on the third day of the Serie A championship. The match, in fact, was decided in the very first minutes of Saturday's encounter, with a back-and-forth between Giovanni Fabbian and Emmanuel Gyasi.
It wasn't over yet in the 3rd when, in fact, the Rossoblù took the lead: Fabbian beat Vasquez on the development of a corner kick, taking full advantage of Bekuema's spurt. Just after the ensuing kickoff Empoli set up the equalizer: Giuseppe Pezzella guessed the right pass for Gyasi, who netted the equalizing goal.
The game remains alive even after the two goals and è especially in the end of the first half that Solbakken on one side and Orsolini on the other have to eat their hands for two very good chances wasted in front of the goalkeeper. In the resumption fatigue takes over and the pace drops, despite the changes: few emotions in the final, at the triple whistle è 1-1.
Bologna thus rises to 2 points in the standings, the result of today's draw and the one on the first day against Udinese. For Empoli è on the other hand, it is the third useful result in as many matches, after the draw with Monza and the success at the Olimpico with Roma: that makes 5 points in the standings for the Tuscans.
