Around 30,000 Bolognesi made the journey to Rome for the club’s first Coppa Italia final since 1974.

More than that, it is Bologna’s first Coppa Italia final in 51 years and it means everything to the Rossoblu, who have built a very reliable identity in the last two seasons under Giovanni Sartori.

Bologna applied pressure after the break and Dan Ndoye found the breakthrough with a neat touch and powerful finish past Maignan from inside the area.
