Avellino caused an upset by eliminating Spezia in the last round, but were beaten on home turf by Bologna this evening.

Gianluca Sansone sprung the offside trap on a Karim Laribi through ball to fire past the on-rushing goalkeeper.

Federico Casarini, Alberto Almici and Gianmario Comi all threatened, while Junior Da Costa had to parry an Antonio Zito strike at the near post with his legs.
