Outstanding performance
Bologna•DefenderBologna controlled proceedings from start to finish at home, dominating possession (64%) and creating significantly more clear-cut opportunities against a struggling Lecce side. Remo Freuler's close-range header after a swift counterattack broke the deadlock midway through the first half, capitalizing on Bologna's early territorial advantage. The hosts maintained their grip on the match throughout, with their patient build-up play and superior passing accuracy (85% vs 72%) constantly putting Lecce under pressure. Riccardo Orsolini's late strike sealed a comfortable victory that extends Bologna's positive momentum while leaving Lecce still searching for consistency in what appears to be another difficult campaign.
