47% Ball Possession SASSUOLO and 53% Ball Possession BOLOGNA
Sassuolo 0 – 1 Bologna
. 89′ Orji Okwonkwo
Sassuolo falling at the Mapei Stadium! Bologna causing an upset to grab this important away victory helping them climb the Serie A Table. Sassuolo going down to the 15th position with only 4 points while Bologna went up to the 11th position with 8 points.
The only goal of the match arriving in the 89th minute and you bet Bologna fans went crazy celebrating. It is Orji Okwonkwo to defeat Sassuolo goalkeeper with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner. Surely, it is a historical goal for Okwonkwo scoring his first goal in Serie A. Party is on!
He was there to turn home as Palacio’s effort was saved. Limbs in the away end behind the goal! #SassuoloBFC 0-1 pic.twitter.com/kGLhK45mOd
