Como 1-1 Bologna — Baturina’s stoppage masterpiece earns hosts a point
Como snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw against 10-man Bologna at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia as Martin Baturina curled home a stoppage-time winner to cancel out Niccolò Cambiaghi’s second-half opener. Bologna were reduced to 10 men when Cambiaghi was sent off after a VAR review, a turning point that swung momentum in Como’s favour.
First half: Bologna start bright but fail to convert pressure
Bologna flew out of the blocks with early chances, forcing Jean Butez into a spectacular save from a point-blank Remo Freuler cut-back for Cambiaghi. Jesus Rodriguez and Nico Paz also tested the goalkeeper, while a Jhon Lucumi error led to an opportunity and saw Lucumi withdraw with a muscular problem, replaced by Martin Vitik. Despite Bologna’s superiority, the hosts held firm and chances were traded without a breakthrough.
Second half: Cambiaghi breakthrough, then controversy
Bologna took the lead shortly after the break when Santiago Castro’s recovery set up Niccolò Cambiaghi, who prodded a low finish through the legs of Marc-Oliver Kempf. The game’s complexion changed midway through the half when Cambiaghi was shown red following an altercation that was upgraded after VAR review; Ignace van der Brempt was also booked. A late claims-for-a-penalty by Como were checked by VAR and overturned, and Nico Paz rattled the inside of the post as the hosts pushed for an equaliser.
Late drama: Baturina’s quality seals a point
With the match hanging in the balance and Bologna down to ten men, Martin Baturina took matters into his own hands in stoppage time, cutting inside two defenders before bending a sublime right-footed strike into the top corner to level the score deep into added time. The leveller underlined Como’s resilience and punished Bologna’s indiscipline.
