De Silvestri's Late Equalizer Saves Bologna

Lorenzo De Silvestri: Lorenzo De Silvestri's equalizer in the dying minutes helped Bologna avoid a home defeat as they tied with Genoa 1-1 on Friday.

Bologna are flying high this term as head coach Thiago Motta guided them to an unexpected fifth-place while Genoa occasionally played as a giant-killer by holding Juventus and Inter Milan under 2006 World Cup winner Alberto Gilardino, reported Xinhua.

Genoa went ahead in the 20th minute with Albert Gudmundsson's free kick from a tricky angle.

The Rossoblu then dominated the game but failed to unlock the opposites' defense until the 95th minute when Alexis Saelemaekers assisted for veteran De Silvestri to hit home.
