Bologna scored their third goal in the 44th minute. Although Freuler's long pass was intercepted by Nelsson, Pobega managed to control the rebound and headed the ball to Santiago Castro, who volleyed it in with his right foot. The ball first struck the crossbar before finding the net.

In the 72nd minute, Verona closed the gap. Montipò retrieved the ball after a Bologna corner and quickly sent a pass to Giovane, who then played a through ball to Gift Orban. Orban delivered a cross into the center, which was deflected by Remo Freuler and found its way into the net.

Verona's upcoming match is scheduled for Monday, January 19th at 18:30, where the Gialloblù will take on Cremonese at the 'Giovanni Zini' stadium in Cremona, in a game that counts for the 21st round of Serie A.
