It all happened next to the Fan Village, with terrified children and their families rushed away behind inflatable advertising boards.

When the match finally started, Luca Rossettini gave Bologna an early lead, but the Serie B team emerged triumphant in the second half.

First Rossi pounced on a poor Domenico Maietta clearance, then Brezovec burst through a gap in central defence.

Bologna: Mirante (Da Costa 46); Ferrari (Ceccarelli 60), Oikonomou (Garics 70), Rossettini (Maietta 46), Masina (Morleo 60); Brighi (Diawara 46), Crisetig, Silvestro; Cozzari (Bianchi 60); Acquafresca (Mancosu 46), Cacia (Paponi 55)
