Castro Seals Bologna’s 2-1 Win at Torino After Vlasic’s Own Goal and Equalizer
The result offers brief relief for coach Vincenzo Italiano following a damaging run.
Overview
- Serie A officially credited Bologna’s opener as a Nikola Vlasic own goal from a Jonathan Rowe cross in the 49th minute, with Nikola Moro not getting a final touch.
- Nikola Vlasic leveled for Torino in the 62nd minute, finishing after Lukasz Skorupski parried a Duvan Zapata shot.
- Santiago Castro restored Bologna’s lead in the 70th minute with his seventh league goal, turning in Federico Bernardeschi’s pass days after signing a new contract.
- The victory halts Bologna’s four-match Serie A losing streak that followed a Coppa Italia exit on penalties to Lazio, easing immediate pressure on Vincenzo Italiano.
- An ongoing boycott by Torino supporters protesting president Urbano Cairo left the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino sparsely attended.
