Draws and emotions between Bologna and Udinese. It ends 1-1 at Dall’Ara, Martin Payero’s opener is answered by Alexis Saelemaekers with a free kick, thus saving the rossoblù who were left with ten men shortly after the hour mark due to Beukema’s expulsion. Thiago Motta’s team does not catch Juventus in third place but consolidates fourth place (63 points) and gets closer to qualifying for the Champions League. Fabio Cannavaro’s Friulians, who complain about the post hit late on by Davis, move to 29 points, -2 from Frosinone, Verona and Empoli.
