Genoa Crush Bologna in Final Serie A Fixture as Hosts Rest Key Players
Bologna wrapped up their Serie A 2024/25 campaign with a flat display at home, falling 3–1 to Genoa at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium. With a Europa League group stage spot already secured thanks to their Coppa Italia triumph, Vincenzo Italiano’s side lacked urgency and motivation in their season finale.
Genoa capitalised on their hosts’ passive approach early, racing to a commanding lead in the first half. Vincenzo Venturino struck twice, while Vitinha added a third before the break. Bologna managed to pull one back after the restart through Riccardo Orsolini, but never truly threatened a comeback.
