🔴 Udinese's initiative against violence towards women

In the matchday where Serie A stands against violence towards women, Udinese wanted to send a message.

All the players took the field wearing a shirt that, on the back, did not have their surname, but the name of their mothers, sisters, or daughters.

📸 Mani Ehizibue, Orsolini's PENALTY MISS

In the 40th minute, after a long VAR review, referee Sacchi was called to the monitor and awarded a penalty for a handball by Ehizibue.

The decision was made due to the defender increasing the volume of his body, as explained to the whole stadium at the time of the call.

Riccardo Orsolini stepped up to the spot, but took a terrible shot, failing to give it either power or angle with his instep.

Okoye guessed the direction and saved. The number 7's goal drought continues, having failed to score in the previous 4 matches as well. It's only his second miss out of 18 penalties taken; the only other time was on September 2, 2023, against Cagliari.

❌ Goal disallowed, Orsolini "teases" the Curva

Luck is not on Orsolini's side. At the end of the first half, the Bologna winger beat Okoye by making the most of a pass from Miranda and sprinting towards goal.

However, the goal was disallowed for offside at the moment of the assist. The Udinese curva erupted, and in response, Orsolini made a telling gesture as if to say, "I was almost there, calm down."

💥 Pobega breaks the deadlock, 1-0 Bologna

In the 54th minute, Bologna opened the scoring and shook off the pressure that had built up during a very tough first half. Tommaso Pobega broke the deadlock with his first goal of the season.

The assist came from Orsolini (his first of the season), who controlled a great ball in his favorite spot, cut inside, and then rewarded the midfielder's run, who finished low at the near post to beat Okoye.

😱 DISASTER for Okoye, Pobega scores a brace

Just 6 minutes later, Pobega found the easiest of doubles, capitalizing on a huge mistake by Okoye.

A completely botched short pass from the Udinese goalkeeper gifted the ball to the opposing midfielder, who finished low into the corner to make it 2-0.

🤯 Fabbian, what are you doing? The midfielder wastes the 3-0

In the 69th minute, Bologna had the chance to put the game to bed, but Giovanni Fabbian squandered it badly.

The midfielder, all alone in the center of the box and perfectly set up by Zortea, fluffed his shot and missed the target. The xG was 0.56.

🤩 First joy for Bernardeschi, 3-0

In the final minute of the match, there was also room for Federico Bernardeschi's first goal in a Bologna shirt.

Yet another disaster in Udinese's build-up, a backheel from Dallinga set off a scramble, after which the ball fell just a few steps from goal to Bernardeschi, who couldn't miss.
