Overview

• Alessandro Orsolini opened the scoring before half-time, finishing after the goalkeeper spilled a close-range effort.
• VAR confirmed a handball by Castro on a corner, and Junior Adamu equalized from the spot for SC Freiburg.
• Lukasz Skorupski protected the point with crucial late saves, notably denying Scherhant and Beste on breakaways.
• The result gives Bologna their first group-stage point after losing to Aston Villa, while Freiburg came in off a win over Basel.
• Coach Italiano made six changes to the XI and later brought on Dallinga, Miranda, Bernardeschi and Rowe as Bologna’s attacking issues persisted.
