Bologna beat Udinese 2-1 in Serie A

Bologna (Italy)  :  Bologna earned a 2-1 home win against Udinese on Sunday in the seventh round of Serie A, thanks to a late goal from forward Roccardo Orsolini.

Although Udinese took the initiative and opened the scoring 32 minutes into the match with a goal from midfielder Ignacio Pussetto, Bologna came from behind to pull off its second win this season, reports Efe.

Only 10 minutes after Pussetto scored, Bologna forward Federico Santander netted the equalizer, and the game was tied heading into the intermission.
