Bologna FC 1-4 AC Siena


Siena taught Bologna a lesson in their own backyard with a thoroughly deserved win at the Stadio Dall'Ara.
Emanuele Calaio put the visitors ahead in the fifth minute before Daniele Portanova added a second in the 11th.
Massimo Marazzina gave the home side hope 10 minutes later, but further goals from Abdel Ghezzal and the tireless Houssine Kharja earned the Bianconeri all three points which should put an end to their own relegation fears this season.
The Rossoblu, however, slipped into the bottom three with their fourth consecutive defeat and are now left staring relegation in the face.
Siena raced into a two-goal lead within 11 minutes as Bologna struggled to adjust to their new attacking formation.
Bologna coach Sinisa Mihajlovic chose a two-man attack, with Marazzina paired alongside Marco Di Vaio, instead of his usual 4-5-1 formation in what are desperate times for his side.
And they became even more desperate when Calaio put the visitors ahead after Vangelis Moras made a hash of his clearance from a Massimo Maccarone cross, leaving the Siena striker to beat Francesco Antonioli with ease.
Manuel Britos then thought he had done enough to put a Kharja cross behind for a corner, but the danger was not over. From Calaio's corner kick, Portanova showed determination to head the ball powerfully past Antonioli.
Bologna reacted and, within 10 minutes, they were back in the game as Marazzina beat Gianluca Curci to Sergio Volpi's free-kick to head in.
Curci picked up a knock as he leapt for the ball and he asked to be replaced 10 minutes before half-time with Dimitros Eleftheropoulos taking his place.
Bologna also had to make an injury-related substitution late in the first half as Davide Bombardini failed to recover from a knock. Pable Osvaldo took his place, giving the home side another striker on the field of play.
But it was Siena who continued to dominate with Moras and Manuel Britos both having to act to prevent crosses from Siena's dangerman Kharja reaching their intended destination.
Osvaldo thought he had brought Bologna level in the 54th minute, but his goal was disallowed for an offside decision against Di Vaio.
And they again found themselves two goals behind in the 61st minute when Kharja struck the post after cutting in from the left and the ball fell to Ghezzal, who showed a quick reaction to send the ball into the empty net.
Bologna fell to pieces and Siena's fourth goal in the 81st minute was the result of a comedy of errors in the home side's defence.
Antonioli flapped at a high ball with Britos and Moras both getting in each other's way as they tried to clear the danger.
The ball eventually fell to Kharja, who took advantage of Bologna's confusion to crown his own excellent display with the fourth which lifts Siena onto 37 points, a haul which should be enough to guarantee the Tuscans another year in the top flight.
Bologna, on the other hand, plummet into the bottom three behind Torino..espnstar.com/
