Still, there is always room for another. Riccardo Orsolini could not hang around quite so long, but his goal for Bologna away to Venezia on Saturday will linger in the memories of supporters. The second half had barely started when Nicolò Cambiaghi cut back from the left flank and crossed right-footed to the far post.
