"Napoli missed the chance to tighten their grip on a spot in the Champions League next season after Jonathan Rowe's 91st-minute winner earned Bologna a 3-2 win on Monday. A victory would have given Antonio Conte's men a six-point cushion over the chasing pack with two Serie A games left, but they instead remain just three points above fifth."
"The Stadio Diego Armando Maradona was stunned into silence in the ninth minute when Federico Bernardeschi combined well with Juan Miranda before taking a touch and arrowing a sensational drive into the top-right corner. It could have got even better for the visitors three minutes later, but Miranda's shot cannoned against the crossbar, but Bologna did double their advantage through Riccardo Orsolini's 34th-minute penalty, with the spot-kick awarded following a VAR review after Giovanni Di Lorenzo kicked through Miranda."
"But Di Lorenzo atoned for his earlier error in first-half stoppage time with a brilliant finish at the near post after Rasmus Hojlund's pass deflected kindly to him off Remo Freuler. And just three minutes after the restart, Napoli hauled themselves level when Di Lorenzo's long punt was collected by Hojlund, who laid the ball off for Santos to strike first time beyond Pessina."
"Both sides threatened a late winner, and it was Bologna who got it in second-half stoppage time through Rowe, who acrobatically volleyed home after Vanja Milinkovic-Savic had parried Miranda's shot into his path. Full time#NapoliBologna 2-3"
