HT: Bologna 0-1 #AVFC Safe to say Villa rode their luck. Toiled at times against man-to-man press (as Emery & Cash warned against yesterday), which has been compounded by poor passes & shaky defending. With all that said, it was entirely predictable they'd score out of nothing

GOAL: Ezri Konsaaaa! Villa are in the lead. Youri Tielemans swings the corner in, and goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia doesn't deal with it. Konsa's there at the back stick to head in. Bologna 0-1 #AVFC

The goal should be a surprise, but it's not. #AVFC score when they don't play well, largely out of nothing. The keeper makes a hash of a corner and Konsa is there to head into an empty net. 1-0 Villa

Rogers and Buendia have made a combined total of six passes in the first 40 minutes, here. #AVFC just can't seem to get the frontline in the game currently

Rowe is staying really wide on the left, with Pobega in the pocket just inside. Cash is shouting for Onana to screen him but that means Bologna have easy passes out from defence and midfield as #AVFC sink deeper. When Villa do have the ball, though, it's rather sloppy

Goal disallowed - offside. #AVFC get away with one, but must tighten up down the right.

NO GOAL: The goal is ruled out for offside. Villa survive. Bologna 0-0 #AVFC

GOAL: Villa trail. Jonathan Rowe beats Matty Cash to the ball and plays it to Santiago Castro. His cross goes in off Ezri Konsa. Bologna 1-0 #AVFC

Goal, Bologna. 1-0. Ball goes over the line, despite Cash's clearance. #AVFC's right side between Konsa and Cash have been ruffled - Cash goes into the initial challenge, doesn't win it and Castro's deflected cross comes off Konsa.

#AVFC really quite uncertain in how to play out against Bologna and as a result, it's causing issues defensively upon turnovers. Martinez has to tip over the bar - Villa having problems down their right, with Rowe a threat. Just need to find a way to see this period out
