Bologna had a goal disallowed late in this draw after Lecce missed chances and were stopped by the heroics of Lukasz Skorupski in the first half.

After winning the Coppa Italia quarterfinal away to Atalanta in the middle of the week and going five games without losing in Serie A, the Rossoblu were bursting with confidence. The only player missing for the hosts was Filip Marchwinski, while Jens Odgaard joined Lewis Ferguson and Riccardo Orsolini on the treatment table. When two Bologna players collided to start the counterattack in the first minute, Lecce should have grabbed the lead, but Tommaso Pobega blocked Tete Morente's 10-yard finish. When Santiago Pierotti robbed Charalampos Lykogiannis to go clear, Lukasz Skorupski produced an absolutely amazing double stop. The Bologna custodian was able to jump up and push the Thorir Helgason rebound over as well.
