Bologna defeated Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League Matchday 7, League Phase on Tuesday 21 January 2025 at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium in Bologna, Italy. Bologna got their first victory in the tournament as they take on Borussia Dortmund, who are currently struggling in the league.
A tough moment for Bologna! Borussia Dortmund struck first in the 15th minute. Serhou Guirassy netted a penalty with a precise right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The penalty was given after Emil Holm fouled Waldemar Anton inside the area. Guirassy executed a delightful chip over goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski, who guessed correctly but was unable to make the save.
Bologna leveled the score in the 71st minute when Thijs Dallinga found the back of the net with a right-footed shot aimed at the center. Jens Odgaard provided the assist, making a brilliant deep run and delivering a perfect cross for Dallinga, who was just a couple of steps away from the goal to secure the equalizer!
What a thrilling comeback! Bologna surged ahead in the 72nd minute when Samuel Iling-Junior found the net with a left-footed shot right down the middle. Dallinga made a quick attempt from close range towards Kobel, but it was the former Juventus player who sealed the deal with a crucial tap-in!
