Bologna, with João Mário in the starting lineup, secured a wild 3-2 victory over Napoli at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in the 36th round of Serie A.
Napoli endured a nightmare start, falling behind 2-0 by the 34th minute. Federico Bernardeschi opened the scoring with an unstoppable strike in the 10th minute, and Riccardo Orsolini doubled the lead from the penalty spot. Juan Miranda also hit the post of Milinkovic-Savic’s goal during that period.
As expected, Napoli fought back with two crucial goals: Di Lorenzo pulled one back just before halftime, and Alisson Santos equalized early in the second half. It was the Brazilian striker’s fourth goal in the Italian league since joining on loan from Sporting.
However, the night belonged to Bologna, who sealed the win in the 90+1st minute with an acrobatic goal from Jonathan Rowe – a moment of pure brilliance.
The defeat leaves Napoli’s second-place position in jeopardy, as they now hold only a three-point advantage over fifth place, which would secure a Europa League spot. Bologna, meanwhile, climbed to eighth place with 52 points, though they remain far from European qualification.
The match showcased both teams’ attacking flair, but Rowe’s spectacular finish ultimately stole the headlines and overshadowed another impressive goal from Alisson.
