Udinese were beaten on Sunday afternoon at the Dacia Arena, as Bologna produced a second-half comeback to win 2-1 at the end of an open and balanced contest. Beto opened the scoring on 10 minutes with an excellent first-time finish from Isaac Success' cross. The forward then saw a second chalked off only a few minutes later for offside. Bologna had a goal of their own ruled out for offside just before the interval, but hauled themselves level on 59 minutes, as Nicola Sansone finished clinically inside the box. The away side then took a late lead when Stefan Posch headed home Jerdy Schouten's flick on from a corner.
