Undefeated since March 9 and a defeat against Inter Milan, crowned Italian champion last week, Bologna hosted Udinese on the 34th day of Serie A, this Sunday. Despite a clear domination of Thiago Motta’s men, the Zebrettes caught their opponents cold before the break through Martin Peyero to take the lead (0-1, 45th).

Despite its numerical inferiority following the exclusion of Sam Beukema for a second warning (64th), Bologna showed character to snatch the point from a draw thanks to Alexis Saelemaekers (1-1, 77th). Slowed in its momentum, Bologna remains under threat from AS Rome who can return to two points from fourth place, synonymous with qualification for the next Champions League, in the event of success against Napoli this Sunday evening. Udinese remains stuck in the red zone.
