In the Veneto city, all three points were available for the taking, but despite their best efforts, neither Hellas Verona nor Bologna were able to unlock the lock, forcing them to settle for a point apiece. Both teams have had successful starts to the season, with the former defeating Empoli and Roma while the latter held Juventus to a tie before easily defeating Cagliari. Although Thiago Motta's team had a few speculative opportunities of their own, Lorenzo Montipo of the Gialloblu was unaffected. The tide began to turn in the second half, and Bologna started to appear more dangerous. 

Dan Ndoye and Jesper Karlsson both created chances that were quite close to being successful, but once more the ball was unable to find the back of the net. Finally, with only a point to show for their efforts, Hellas Verona and Bologna were unable to discover the decisive factor at the Bentegodi.
