Goals: Gudmundsson 20’

Icelandic striker Albert Gudmundsson put the visitors ahead with his third goal in four games when his free kick from the left sneaked in through a crowd.

However, just when it looked like Bologna would lose two games in a row for the first time in a year, Lorenzo De Silvestri popped up in the penalty box to score a dramatic equaliser.

Genoa will be furious at switching off so late in the game, but the result marked their fourth straight game without defeat.

That run of five points from 12 included draws at home to league front-runners Inter Milan and Juventus.

Genoa are in 12th place with Bologna fifth, but the inability to turn pressure into goals will concern coach Thiago Motta.

His side missed a chance to jump into fourth place and instead sit a point behind Fiorentina, who face Sassuolo on Saturday.
