Bologna 0-1 Lazio result, stats and report

Davide Frattesi's 25th-minute strike was enough for Lazio to grind out a 1-0 win over a Genoa side that competed hard but never really threatened to score. One goal. Three points. Job done.

Lazar Samardžić struck in the sixth minute of stoppage time to hand Atalanta a 1-0 victory over Bologna, a result that flattered the hosts given how the match played out.

Lazio won 1-0 at the Dall'Ara thanks to a goal from substitute striker five minutes after coming on, despite Bologna dominating possession and creating the better quality chances across the ninety minutes. The result tells you very little about who played the better football, and quite a lot about who prepared better for the moments that mattered.
