Palladino’s Bologna Held 1-1 at Home by Torino

The new coach said he needs time to fix fitness and tactical issues after a debut that exposed a goalkeeping error, leaving supporters whistling.

Overview

  • Bologna drew 1-1 with Torino at the Renato Dall’Ara on Saturday as Federico Bernardeschi put the hosts ahead and Sandro Kulenovic levelled after Lukasz Skorupski spilled a low shot.
  • Raffaele Palladino made his debut after being appointed mid‑September and repeatedly stressed he had only three days with the squad so he could not expect a perfect performance.
  • Palladino defended Skorupski from immediate judgement and said he will assess players in training rather than react to a single error.
  • The coach used a back three with wing‑backs and said Bologna faded physically in the second half, a problem he plans to address during the upcoming break.
  • The draw leaves Bologna on two points early in the season and keeps relegation concerns alive after Domenico Tedesco’s dismissal and summer departures that have thinned the squad.
