Bologna FC 1909 secured a controlled 2–0 home victory over US Lecce on Serie A matchday 32, with goals in each half from Remo Freuler and Riccardo Orsolini proving decisive.
The hosts took the lead in the 26th minute. Remo Freuler found the net for Bologna, breaking the deadlock and giving the home side an early advantage. No official assist was recorded on the opener, but the goal shifted the momentum firmly towards Bologna.
Lecce’s attempts to respond before the break were punctuated by disciplinary issues. Oumar Ngom was booked in the 36th minute, followed two minutes later by a yellow card for Jamil Siebert, as the visitors struggled to contain Bologna.
At half-time, Lecce head coach turned to his bench with a double substitution: Corrie Ndaba made way for Antonino Gallo, while Ngom was replaced by Omri Gandelman at the restart. Further attacking changes arrived in the 64th minute, with Walid Cheddira coming on for Nikola Štulić and Konan N’Dri replacing Lameck Banda. Bologna responded on 66 minutes, introducing Nadir Zortea for João Mário Lopes.
The home side refreshed their midfield and attack in the 74th minute as Tommaso Pobega replaced Simon Sohm and Jonathan Rowe came on for Nicolò Cambiaghi. Lecce made their final change on 83 minutes, with Alex Sala taking the place of Santiago Pierotti.
Bologna then closed the match out in stoppage time. In the 90th minute plus two, Riccardo Orsolini struck to double the lead, finishing off a move supplied by substitute Federico Bernardeschi to seal the points at 2–0.
The hosts made late attacking changes of their own in the 85th minute, bringing on Bernardeschi for Nikola Moro and Jens Odgaard for Santiago Castro, moves that helped Bologna maintain their grip on the contest until the final whistle.
