Bologna fails to hold on in draw with Udinese
Udinese began its new Serie A season with a credible 1-1 draw away at Bologna.
Vincenzo Italiano's first competitive game in charge of Bologna saw it dominate the match with 22 shots to Udinese's four, and it took the lead through a Riccardo Orsolini penalty.
Orsolini is the second Bologna player to score in seven different Serie A seasons in the past 50 years, after Carlo Nervo scored seven in 1996-1997 and 2003-2004.
But Udinese managed to draw level through Lautaro Giannetti in the 68th minute, and held on for the remainder of the encounter to deny Italiano an ideal start.
