Bologna going full speed against Udinese, yet failing big time. Interestingly, Bologna fans displaying banners against famous Italian singer Gianni Morandi who is the honorary president of the Club. Fans protesting against Morandi asking him to resign!
A blow for Bologna in the 14th minute when Referee Calvarese gives a penalty to Udinese. The penalty conceded by Bologna midfielder Michele Pazienza after a foul in the penalty area on Udinese midfielder Andrea Lazzari. Taking the penalty spot is forward Antonio Di Natale converting with a right footed shot defeating Bologna goalkeeper Gianluca Curci in the bottom left corner.

In the 92nd minute the final blow for Bologna! Udinese scoring the second goal of the match with midfielder Nico Lopez getting the assist by midfielder Maicosuel. Lopez defeating Bologna goalkeeper Curci in the bottom left corner. Surely, the happiest would be coach Guidolin seeing his two substitutions Lopez and Maicosuel making the difference to secure the victory.
