In the 41st minute, Bologna had a well-placed set-piece in front of the goal, and Salemakles hit the crossbar. However, four minutes later, Bologna played a brilliant combination, Azuzzi chested the ball in the box, Zirkze cut in from a tight angle, Diego Llorente cleared the ball with a flying tackle, but the ball crossed the goal line early, and Roma fell behind 0-2.
In the 56th minute, Manuel Pellegrini crossed from the right, substitute Azmoun's header was saved, and then two follow-up shots scored the ball in succession, and Roma pulled one back and rekindled hope.
After that, Roma pressed heavily and Bologna was comfortable on the counter-attack. In the 66th minute, Dybala's foot slipped near the midfield and was broken, Zirkze split the ball in the middle, and Saalmakles inserted a one-handed shot to make Bologna 3-1 to seal the win.
Roma lost 3-1 and were beaten twice by Bologna. Although the fifth Serie A can also participate in the Champions League next season, Roma is now only one point ahead of Atalanta behind them, and the Champions League place is in a hurry.
