Torino continue their run of solid results under Marco Baroni, earning a gritty draw at Bologna. The hosts dominate possession but fail to convert, as Paleari shines once more for the visitors.
Torino’s transformation under Marco Baroni continues. The Granata left the Stadio Dall’Ara with another valuable point after holding Bologna to a goalless draw — their latest result against a Serie A contender following strong showings against Roma, Napoli, and Lazio.
For Bologna, still without head coach Vincenzo Italiano due to illness, this was a frustrating night. Assistant Daniel Niccolini guided the team from the touchline, but despite long spells of possession, the Rossoblù couldn’t find a breakthrough.
The first half was defined by intensity and missed chances. Torino’s defense was stretched early on, but Ché Adams hit the crossbar after a defensive lapse by Vitik, and Paleari had to intervene to deny Lykogiannis with a sharp save. At the other end, Sommer’s replacement in goal had little to do as Torino struggled to create meaningful danger.
After the break, Bologna increased the pressure. Bernardeschi tested Paleari again, and Dallinga’s substitute Santiago Castro tried to inject fresh energy, but the Granata remained compact and disciplined. Casadei came close for Torino late on, only to see his shot blocked by Lykogiannis.
Despite no goals, the match was rich in intensity and tactical organization — a reflection of Baroni’s rejuvenated Torino. The draw keeps Bologna in contention for European spots, while Torino’s unbeaten streak against top opposition continues, marking a quiet but steady resurgence.
