A return and a controversy
Led at the break, the Bianconeri return in the second half with better intentions and finally manage to be dangerous. In the 66th minute, Paul Pogba was able to make his comeback by entering in place of Nicolo Fagioli, thus playing his first game since May.
But in the process, Bologna thinks of obtaining a penalty which logically should have been granted after a foul by Iling Junior on Dan Ndoye just in front of Mattia Perin’s goal. The referee indicates no fault and provokes the anger of the Bologna bench, including coach Thiago Motta who receives a yellow card.

A decision with serious consequences for the locals who will be punished 10 minutes from the end of regulation time. Well launched by Pogba, Iling Junior deposits a cake on the head of Dusan Vlahovic who, from the penalty spot, scores and equalizes for the Old Lady. This goal will be the last of a meeting which ends with the score of 1-1, Juve is 4th, Bologna 14th.
