Riccardo Orsolini delivered a brace to propel Bologna to a 2-1 comeback victory over Cagliari in Serie A, strengthening their push for another Champions League qualification.
Bologna overturned a first-half deficit against relegation-threatened Cagliari to close the gap on fourth-placed Juventus to just two points.
With Lazio sitting level on points with Bologna and set to face a struggling AC Milan later on Sunday, Roma was also preparing to host Como.
Despite playing away, Cagliari stunned the home crowd by taking the lead in the 22nd minute when Roberto Piccoli found the net with a well-placed header.
At halftime, Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano responded by making three substitutions, a move that paid off almost instantly.
Shortly after the restart, Orsolini calmly slotted home a penalty after Mattia Felici fouled substitute Nicolò Cambiaghi in the box.
Cambiaghi played a crucial role again just minutes later, setting up Orsolini for a simple tap-in to seal the turnaround.
Cagliari now sits precariously, just three points clear of the relegation zone.
