Lecce, 4 June 2023 – At the last minute respite, at the last shot: Bologna ends the year winning, in comeback, against Lecce, beating Baroni's team 3 to 2. Race between teams that no longer had anything to ask of the championship. Result? Exciting match, opened by the left-handed Band and put back tied by Arnautovic, at the beginning of the second half. With ten minutes to go, Zirkzee takes care of his team with his second goal in the championship, but Oudin restores parity with a splendid left-handed shot that strikes Skorupski. All finished? Nope. The last restart is the winning one, Moro serves Ferguson that marks. THE Red Blue they close on 54 points in the standings, the best result of the last twenty years.

Starting better at Street of the Sea they are the home team, who after less than a minute come close to taking the lead with Gallo, whose left-footed shot makes the cut Skorupski. A quarter of an hour for take measures and here is the action that makes it 1 to 0: Gendrey rewards Strefezza, who wedges to the right taking advantage of the absence of Cambiaso; the former Spal player diverts a ball into the center of the area that Banda transform into a network, burning Posch and stabbing Skorupski. The equalizer seems to be immediate, but Arnautovic's 1-1 is canceled out by VAR, which punishes Orsolini for an offside position. The same Orsolini who in the 29th minute challenges Falcone with a header, while two steps from the end of the first half it is Skorupski who prevents Banda from scoring his very personal double, blocking a header from close range from the left wing.

La Bologna approaches it better after the restart, who after a quarter of an hour equalized the match: cross from Barrow, Arnautovic struck Hjulmand and scored the 1-1, thus finding his tenth goal in the championship. In the next half hour it is the substitutions that keep attention on the match, before the surprise goal of the rossoblù: break by Pyyhtia, ball on Zirkzee who manages to turn and beat Falcone, thanks to the first error of the match by baschirotto. Lecce rushes forward and also finds the 2-2, with a pearl from Oudin: cross from Maleh, insertion with the lights off by the midfielder and powerful left footer who ends his run under the crossbar. when everything seemed to be heading towards the end, here's the breakthrough: Moro's restart, the ball goes to Ferguson who first of all kicks with his right foot.
