Under the Tardini deluge, Bologna prevailed 3-1 over Parma, coming from behind, in the all-Emilian derby. A brace from Castro and a goal from Miranda in added time decided the match, opened by Bernabé at the start. The game unlocks after just 13 seconds. Suzuki throws long and finds a bank, with the ball which is then worked by Benedyczak before ending up on the right foot of Bernabé who passes Skorupski for 1-0. The visitors have a great opportunity to equalize in the 14th minute. Castro verticalizes great for Orsolini, who enters the area from the right and from an excellent position closes too much with his left foot, hitting only the outside of the net. A few moments later, on the reversal in front, Britschgi tries with a right-footed shot from long range that hits the crossbar. The match is full of emotions and the equalizer arrives in the 17th minute. Orsolini serves Holm from the outside in the area and the Swede puts in a low shot which is pounced on by Castro, who, like a true opportunist, anticipates the direct marker and strikes Suzuki from two steps away.
In the 34th minute, Pobega passes to Castro who shoots but finds decisive opposition from Suzuki, who saves his team. A new turning point came a minute later when Ordoñez, already booked, committed a foul from behind which cost him the second yellow and the inevitable red card which left the Ducali with ten men. In the 41st minute, Cuesta already had to make his second substitution following Cercati’s injury, after the one suffered by Estévez about a quarter of an hour earlier. The first half ends at 1-1. The first chance of the second half goes to the home team, when Pellegrino serves Benedyczak in the area who shoots wide from a good position when perhaps he could have taken the ball further forward. The rain begins to become very insistent and the show is affected. The comeback was completed in the 23rd minute. The rossoblù attack with a cross from the left by Miranda, the opposing defense makes a mess and the ball ends up on the left-footed Castro who resolves the melee with a shot that lands unstoppably behind Suzuki. In full injury time the final 3-1 arrives. Miranda enters the area from the left and tries with a powerful left-footed shot from a tight angle that finishes its run at the bottom of the bag after touching the crossbar, surprising Suzuki at his post. The result will no longer change. Bologna thus collects three precious points and momentarily moves into fourth place with 18 points. Parma however remains in fifth last position with 7 points to their credit
