Udinese, however, immediately loses Oumar Solet due to a muscle discomfort, forcing the coach to make a substitution with Bertola after just ten minutes.

As the minutes pass, Vincenzo Italiano's Bologna gains ground and becomes more dangerous, but without creating real goal-scoring opportunities.

In the second half, the intensity increases: a defensive error by Udinese launches Orsolini towards the goal, but the forward misses the decisive control. Immediately after, Rowe almost scores with a shot to the corner, miraculously cleared off the line by Jordan Zemura. 

The decisive moment comes in the 72nd minute: Castro is touched by Karlstrom, VAR confirms the penalty, and Bernardeschi – who came on for Orsolini – sends Okoye the wrong way, sealing the 1-0.

In the end, Bologna also loses Juan Miranda due to a muscle problem but secures their third consecutive victory and climbs to eighth place. Runjaic's Udinese suffers their third consecutive defeat, confirming a true crisis of results.

🚑 Solet stops again: INJURY and substitution!

MINUTE 10 - Bad news for Udinese, who lose Solet due to a muscle strain in the adductor.

The defender initially stays on the ground and asks to be substituted, but then tries to push through before ultimately giving up. Bertola comes in for him.

😱 Zemura's 'save' on the line

MINUTE 54 - A sensational double chance for Bologna, who take advantage of a huge defensive gap by Kabasele.

The Udinese defender's error clears the way for Orsolini, who, one-on-one with Okoye, fails to shoot cleanly and has his attempt blocked.

Rowe pounces on the ball, shooting with certainty but has to contend with Zemura's intervention, who stretches out on the line to clear the ball. 

😱 Zaniolo, kick to the face and blood! Tension and Miranda 🟨

Nicolò Zaniolo is forced to temporarily leave the field after being hit in the face by Vitik: the Udinese number 10 is bleeding and has to go to the sideline for medical attention.

Shortly after, another hard tackle on Zaniolo: this time it's Juan Miranda who hits him in the face after clearing the ball and ends up in the referee's book with a yellow card.

The tension on the field continues to rise, with some players almost coming to blows.

🎯 Free kick, or rather... Penalty! VAR+Bernadeschi: 1-0 Bologna!

MINUTE 75 - Castro shields the ball and forces a foul from Karlström, giving Vincenzo Italiano's team a free kick from a promising position.

VAR intervenes to assess a possible penalty for Bologna: the images show that the foul contact occurred inside the area.

Thus, a penalty is awarded. Federico Bernardeschi steps up to take it and doesn't miss: an impeccable shot, sending the ball one way and Maduka Okoye the other.

Bologna leads 1-0, with Bernardeschi scoring his second goal of the season.

🚑 Miranda KO and OUT: Zortea comes in

Juan Miranda gets injured and is forced to leave the field. The Spanish full-back of Bologna has to give up.

Zortea comes in for him, with Miranda showing no positive signs: the initial feelings are far from good, with his presence in the return leg of the Europa League playoffs appearing highly doubtful.
