Review of the match Bologna vs Torino:

The Serie A match between Bologna and Torino at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara ended 2-0 in favour of the home side. Despite the score remaining 0-0 at half-time, Bologna took the initiative in the second half and secured the victory thanks to two late goals. The start of the match was characterised by attacking action from both teams, although there were no goals in the first half. In the 18th minute Torino seemed to take the lead when N. Vlasic crossed the ball into the net, but the goal was cancelled due to an offside rule violation. This decision proved to be decisive, as it kept the match balanced until half-time. As the game progressed, tensions mounted, leading to several yellow cards. V. Christiansen was sent off for Bologna on 23 minutes and his team-mate G. Fabbian on 31 minutes. Torino had C. Linetti sent off in the 39th minute. It was obvious that the match was heating up and both teams were trying to break the deadlock. In the second half there was a series of substitutions that brought fresh energy into the game. M. Ebischer of Bologna was replaced by R. Fröhler in the 55th minute, while V. Christiansen replaced R. Fröhler in the 55th minute and V. Christiansen replaced J. Lukumi a minute later. These substitutions seemed to have an immediate effect on the result, as Bologna finally took the lead in the 56th minute. G. Fabbian, who had previously received a caution, crossed the ball into the Bologna net and made the score 1-0.

In the 70th minute Torino, desperate to save the game, also made substitutions. D. Zapata came on in place of P. Pellegri, and A. Tamese replaced M. Vojvoda. However, their efforts were in vain - Bologna continued to dominate. In the 71st minute both teams made another substitution: A. Salemakers from Bologna and G. Gineitis from Torino came on the pitch. In the 74th minute, Torino's P. Pellegrí received a yellow card, which added to the growing number of penalties in the match. As the match progressed, the referee was increasingly busy, indicating the competitive nature of the encounter. As time ran out, both teams made a number of substitutions in search of a break. In the 76th minute, Torino introduced Y. Karamokha instead of V. Lazaro, while Bologna introduced R. Calafiori in place of K. Lykogiannis and N. Moro in place of G. Fabbian in the 81st minute. It seemed that the match would end 1-0 in Bologna's favour, but they sealed the victory in the final minutes. In the 90th minute J. Zirksee made the score 2-0 in favour of the hosts. However, the triumph was somewhat overshadowed as Bologna player D. Ndoye received a yellow card in added time. Overall, it was a tense game between Bologna and Torino. Bologna's late surge in the second half proved decisive and allowed them to win 2-0 in front of their fans at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. This victory will undoubtedly boost Bologna's morale as they continue their Serie A run.

The next round of matches await the rivals: Lecce vs Bologna, Torino vs Atalanta.
