Bologna does not weaken. For their first post-truce match, the RossoblĂą dismissed Cagliari without too much difficulty this Sunday (0-2). Carried by a very fit Bernardeschi and involved in Emil Holm's first goal thanks to his corner (31st), the Emilia-Romagna players then made the break on a spark from Orsolini. Found on the right side on the edge of the area, the left-hander cut into the center and triggered a love shot at the near post, leaving Caprile helpless (80th).

Thanks to this success, Bologna climbs to the top of the championship by entering the top 5. Cagliari remains in the soft underbelly, in 12th place. In the other meeting of the afternoon, Genoa and Parma were unable to decide between themselves. The Parmesans had however been reduced to 10 in the 42nd minute of play when the ex-Troyen Abdoulaye Ndiaye, warned five minutes earlier for an anti-playing fault, was sent off (severely?) for a bad gesture on the ex-Marseillais Vitinha. In the second half, Suzuki was imperial, notably repelling an attempt from Malinovskyi but also a penalty from Cornet in stoppage time (90+6th), while the Ivorian had entered fifteen minutes earlier. Parma is 15th. Genoa is currently 19th.
