Match Report

Kulenovic's Late Strike Denies Palladino a Winning Debut

Bologna and Torino shared the points in a 1-1 draw at the Renato Dall'Ara, with a late equalizer denying the hosts a winning start under their new coach. It was Raffaele Palladino's first game in charge of the Rossoblù, and for long stretches it looked like the perfect debut before Torino snatched a share of the spoils deep into the second half.

Bernardeschi put Bologna ahead in the 15th minute, finishing unmarked after Cambiaghi pounced on a loose ball from a Fortini error and squared it low across the box. Torino pushed hard after the break and got their reward in the 77th minute when Kulenovic curled a shot from the left side of the box that goalkeeper Skorupski misjudged, letting it squirm in for his first Serie A goal.

For Bologna, it's a mixed start for Palladino, who inherited a side coming off a defeat to Napoli. Torino, still stinging from a heavy loss to Roma, will take real encouragement from the fight shown to salvage a point on the road.
