Ivan Perišić scored the first goal for Inter in the 3rd minute, then Marko Arnautović got the equalizer for Bologna in the 28th minute on a feed from Musa Barrow But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 81st minute on a goal by Nicola Sansone.

On Dec 1st, Bologna hosted Roma at the Stadio Renato Dall’ara in their last match together. Bologna was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Mattias Svanberg struck first for Bologna in the 35th minute on a feed from Nicolás Domínguez, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Roma was frustrated by Bologna’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bologna ended the match with the shutout victory.
Bologna is glad to have Marko Arnautović in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored four goals. For Roma, their top scorers are Tammy Abraham and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, each having 2 goals in their last five matches.
