The Florence-based team's eight-game winning streak in the Italian league came to an end on Sunday when Jens Odgaard, a striker, gave Bologna a 1-0 victory against Fiorentina. After a brilliant collective move, the Danish player broke the deadlock close to the hour mark.
In order to surpass the club record set in 1960, Fiorentina needed to win Serie A nine times in a row. Bologna had many chances to score after the break, notably when Santiago Castro struck the post, but finally broke the tie when Odgaard took advantage of a loose ball in the area to score his third league goal. The first half had been evenly matched. In the rankings, Bologna rose to seventh position. Third-place Inter Milan and fourth-place Fiorentina were tied on points. Atalanta leads Napoli by two points in the league.
