Serie A Week 12 - 16/11/08 (14.00 UK)
Siena 1 - 1 Bologna
Ghezzal 22 (S), Di Vaio pen 45 (B)
Stadio Franchi

Bologna notched up another draw, but again had to thank their opponents, as Emanuele Calaio' missed a late penalty.

Sinisa Mihajlovic's debut was a last-gasp draw with Roma, aided by Cicinho's own goal, but this was a potentially decisive relegation tussle. Christian Amoroso and Luigi Lavecchia missed out, but Sergio Volpi returned. Siena had Luca Rossettini suspended and Ficagna injured.

These two clubs had met four times before and all of them ended with a share of the spoils.

Siena broke through after 22 minutes with talented youngster Ghezzal. A well-worked free kick was looped to the back post where Ghezzal was ready for a towering header.

Massimo Maccarone wanted a spot-kick for his coming together with Moras.

The referee awarded a penalty to Bologna in first half stoppages. Martins Adaulton slipped a pass through for Marchini, who was hacked down fro behind by Del Grosso. Marco Di Vaio coolly converted to equalise.

Houssine Kharja's cross-shot whistled across the face of goal with nobody able to et the final touch to it.

Francesco Antonioli palmed substitute Emanuele Calaio's left-foot strike out for a corner, then Ghezzal's header from a set play went close.

The referee awarded his second penalty of the game, this time in favour of Siena, as Lanna was accused of bringing down Calaio'. The striker got back up to take it, but incredibly drilled wide of the target!
