Bologna secure narrow win over Samp Primavera

Our youngsters fell to defeat at the 3 Campanili in Bogliasco on Monday

Felice Tufano’s side played well, but were unable to make the breakthrough on the day. The teams went in at the interval all square, with Samp failing to convert any of a host of first-half chances.

The trend continued in the second 45 minutes, and the lack of efficiency would eventually prove to be pivotal, when Bologna substitute Kasper Paananen set up Antonio Raimondo on the counter and the forward steered a low shot into the corner from the edge of the box past Matteo Esposito.

Samp Primavera’s second defeat in four Primavera 1 TIMVISION games was a tough one to take.
