What happened. Raffaele Palladino's first game in charge of Bologna ended in a 1-1 draw with Torino at the Dall'Ara. Federico Bernardeschi's goal was cancelled out by Kulenovic.

• Palladino said he didn't expect a perfect match after only three days with the squad.
• He was satisfied with the reaction but admitted Bologna dropped physically in the second half.
• Palladino used a back three and said the team has the qualities to play that system.

“Having arrived three days ago, I did not expect a perfect match today because I have had little time with the lads.”

Bologna now head into the international break, giving Palladino time to work on fitness and principles.
