Quotes
"We played as a real team this evening and put in an earnest performance. We created chances in the first half and Bologna didn't get a sniff of our goal until the end," Napoli manager Rudi Garcia said about the draw against Bologna.
"We dominated throughout although in the second-half there were times in which we handed the initiative to Bologna. We were inches away from a win - the distance between Victor Osimhen's penalty going in or not.
"Even champions like Victor can miss such chances. Obviously, such results aren't good for morale. However I'm happy for the lads," he continued.
We were up against a tough opponent who we didn't really let into the game, despite fielding a different to normal defence. We have to look forward."
Head-to-Head
Napoli and Udinese drew 1-1 in their last meeting in Serie A which was on 4 May 2023 at the Dacia Arena.
