Orsolini ends Bologna's 8-match winless run in Serie A

Milan, Jan 16, 2021 (AFP) - Italy forward Riccardo Orsolini snapped Bologna's eight-match winless run with a penalty in a 1-0 victory over Hellas Verona in Serie A on Saturday.

Orsolini slotted in from the spot after 19 minutes at home after Roberto Soriano was brought down by Verona goalkeeper Marco Silvestri.

Sinisa Mihajlovic's side recorded their first victory since November 29 following a sequence of five draws and three defeats, moving up to 12th place.

Verona's European ambitions took a knock as they stayed ninth, four points adrift of Napoli in sixth.
