Fiorentina winning the direct match defeating Bologna having 13 points each before the game. A blow for Bologna losing the home game winning only 3 games this season.
Bad start for Bologna. Referee Valeri giving a penalty to Fiorentina in the 29th minute conceded by Bologna defender Daniele Gastaldello after a foul on Fiorentina forward Nikola Kalinic inside the penalty area. Making matters worst, Gastaldello also getting a red card leaving Bologna with 10 players. Taking the penalty spot is Kalinic and there he goes without a problem converting the penalty with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner. It’s the 5th goal of the season by Kalinic.
