Match Report
Bologna and Sassuolo played out a dramatic 2–2 draw in Serie A, with the match swinging twice in the final stages. Sassuolo dominated possession and took a deserved lead through Josh Doig on 19 minutes, heading into the break ahead. Bologna made three changes at half-time in an attempt to shift the momentum.
The second half erupted almost immediately, with Roberto Piccoli levelling for Bologna on 50 minutes before a flurry of yellow cards — for Holm, Piccoli, and Idzes — unsettled both sides. Sassuolo restored their advantage through Vasilije Adžić just two minutes later, only for the goalscorer to be substituted off shortly after. Despite controlling 61% of possession and generating 21 total shots, Sassuolo could not hold on. Artem Dovbyk struck deep into stoppage time to earn Bologna a point, though he was booked in the same minute and the game ended with a red card in the dying seconds.
Our pre-match AI model had rated a Bologna win as the most likely outcome at 47%, a call that ultimately fell short as the hosts had to settle for a share of the spoils.
