Top and flop: Dallinga flash goal 15 seconds after his entrance and absolute protagonist, Pobega and Holm well. Castro and Sosa failed for the Granata
Il Bologna never stops, momentarily catches up with Juventus (seventh place with 28 points in Serie A) and beats the Torino away for 2-0. But, what resolved a very blocked match with few opportunities was an Italian intuition: the rossoblù coach rejected Castro – after 70 minutes, a missed penalty kick (in the 8th minute of the game) and a subpar performance – to insert Dallinga who, after just 15 seconds, plays a trick on the Granata and ruins Vanoli's Christmas, which is increasingly in the balance. The protest of the Granata fans does not cease: few chants in support of the team and many, instead, against Cairo which make the Olimpico the scene of furious protests against the Granata patron, invited to sell the club. Furthermore, during the race we note two providential interventions by the VAR: the first on the assignment of penalty to the Emilians, in the 6th minute Sosa fouls Holmand in the 79th minute for the goal awarded to He runs away (due to Dallinga's presumed regular position, revised after more than 3 minutes of checking). Torino drops to 11th place with 19 points; the Emilians relaunch their season and are now attempting to attack the Champions League zone just three away.
Turin-Bologna, fear for Walukiewicz
Big scare on the pitch for the defender Torino Sebastian Walukiewicz. The Polish center back collapsed on the ground during the first half, with breathing difficulties not directly related to injuries on the pitch. The Granata staff intervened immediately and quickly took him to the medical room of the stadium for a first visit, confirming a slight illness. In the past few days Walukiewicz he had a fever and to clarify the causes of the breathing difficulties the player, still lucid and conscious, was transported by ambulance to the Maria Vittoria hospital for further investigations.

Turin-Bologna, curiosity: the Olimpico remains a taboo for the Granata
The Olimpico Grande Torino it is no longer the granata fort: 8 points won out of 21 there are very few available. Also weighing negatively are the only 6 goals scored, of which just two from October to today, even if the defense is holding up well, given that three of the seven total goals came only in the match against Lazio.
The tops and flops of Turin
- Milinkovic Savic 7. In the 8th minute he saved the Granata by saving Castro's penalty. This season he is making himself unsurpassed with his continuous providential interventions.
- Temperature 6.5. He takes Coco's place and is capable of both defending and attacking: at the end of the first half he also throws Karamoh deep towards the area, creating a possible scoring opportunity.
- Sosa 5. A big naivety causes a penalty kick at the start of the match: he commits a sliding foul in the area on Holm reviewed by VAR.

Bologna's tops and flops
- Dallinga 7.5. He came on in the 70th minute, replacing Castro, and scored after just 15 seconds: following Miranda's assist, he came out behind Masina and scored the opening goal.
- Escape 7. He hits the crossbar from over 30 meters in the 60th minute, coming very close to scoring. He finds the double with a right-footed low shot in the mix
- Holm 6.5. He won a penalty in the 5th minute with an incursion into the area on the right.
- Beukema 6.5. He closes optimally on Karamoh, launched deep towards the area, and avoids the Granata's lead goal with a perfect intervention.
- Miranda 6.5. Assist for Dallinga: on a low cross, towards the center of the area in the 70th minute, he catches the rossoblù attacker who has just entered.
- Castro 4.5. The missed penalty kick at the start of the match weighs like a stone, from then on he never recovers and fails to have a positive impact on the rest of the match (on the pitch for a total of 70 minutes).
