Helander shines on Bologna debut

Filip Helander and Umar Sadiq both made their Rossoblu debuts yesterday, each becoming the club’s 874th and 875th player respectively. The former secured a spot in the starting eleven, whilst the latter replaced Floccari in the second half. Furthermore, after scoring the opening goal of the game, and his first in a Bologna jersey, Helander became the 451st player to score for the club. The last Bologna goal scored by a Swede came on 9th January 2011, as Albin Ekdal got on the scoresheet during a 2-0 victory over Bari.
