Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Bologna, 12th position with 33 points and a negative goal difference of -10
Fiorentina, 8th position with 43 points and a positive goal difference of +9

The Derby dell’Apennino is all purple.  Fiorentina win the Serie A Week 29 game defeating Bologna on Sunday 13 March 2022 at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina monologue in the second half with many opportunities created. This is a well-deserved victory signed by Lucas Torreira. Bologna outnumbered for more than once (Bonifazi sent off in the 41st minute) but too passive, they close the 90 minutes with two woods (in the first fraction) and zero shots on target. On the thirtieth round, Fiorentina will visit Inter while Bologna team will host Atalanta.

🟥  Bologna remained with 10 players since the 41st minute.  Referee Sacchi gave a second yellow card to Kevin Bonifaz after a foul on Lucas Torreira.

Fiorentina opened the score in the 70th minute. It is Lucas Torreira to defeat Bologna goalkeeper from very close range with a right-footed shot to the center. The assist is by Gaetano Castrovilli.
