Serie A | Bologna 2-0 Como: Rossoblu march towards top four

There was another huge opportunity as Dallinga came sliding in a second too late to meet the Lykogiannis cross from six yards.

Como almost equalised after the restart, as Diao cut inside from the left and hit a right-foot daisy-cutter inches wide from the edge of the area.

Instead, Bologna doubled their lead when Juan Miranda’s cross from the left was turned in by a delicate cushioned volley off the inside of Giovanni Fabbian’s right boot from six yards.

Jonathan Ikone made his Como debut and immediately curled just wide from the edge of the box, while Butez got down to push a Sam Beukema header off the line from another corner.

Como rattled the frame of the goal too, as Nikola Moro accidentally deflected a Gabriel Strefezza curling cross-shot onto the bar, then Goldaniga was offside on the rebound.

There were emotional scenes as Bologna fans welcomed back Niccolò Cambiaghi and Oussama El Azzouzi from long injury lay-offs.

Como never gave up and in added time Lukasz Skorupski flew to palm the Nico Paz free kick out of the top corner.
