Two different tales from Serie A’s latest matchday: on one side, a relentless Bologna securing their fifth straight win and cementing their top-four status; on the other, a Como side that fails to hold onto a lead and allows Empoli to snatch a vital point in the relegation battle.
At the Sinigaglia, the match ended 1-1, but it was far from dull. After a cautious start, Como found their rhythm and nearly scored through Grassi, who hit the post in the first half. Early in the second half, Douvikas, fresh off the bench, broke the deadlock in the 61st minute with a composed finish after a well-worked move. However, Empoli responded with determination, and in the 75th minute Kouamé nodded home a precise cross from Pezzella. Both sides pushed in the final minutes, but Empoli nearly stole the win on the break. A late red card for Fazzini left them with ten men, but they held on. Como move to 30 points, while Empoli remain third from bottom with 23.
Meanwhile, Bologna continued their impressive run, edging Venezia 1-0 thanks to a stunning volley by Riccardo Orsolini just three minutes into the second half. The winger celebrated by walking up to the camera—perhaps a quiet message to Italy's national coach after recent snubs. Venezia had chances to equalize, especially through Yeboah and Busio, but Skorupski stood tall with key saves.
