Bologna Lazio goalless draw

Both of these teams were in strong overall condition, but they had just suffered shocking losses—Bologna to Torino and Lazio to AZ Alkmaar in the Conference League. Adam Marusic was banned, and Riccardo Orsolini, Nico Dominguez, and Ciro Immobile were all injured. As he spent most of his career with these teams, Sinisa Mihajlovic was well-known to the audience. Pedro stumbled at the vital moment to turn wide on a Luis Alberto assist, and Musa Barrow repeatedly blasted over the crossbar from good positions. But, Lukasz Skorupski took a major gamble with his sliding challenge as Felipe Anderson pounced on a backpass.

On minute 29, Lewis Ferguson appeared to have given Bologna the lead when he met a floated Giorgos Kyriakopoulos cross at the back post, but his free header hit the upright.
