In the match held on December 17, 2023, at 17:00 EEST between Bologna and AS Roma in Serie A, Bologna secured a definitive 2-0 victory. This result likely pleased bettors backing the home side. Bologna effectively converted their opportunities into goals while AS Roma failed to do the same.

Bologna took the lead in the first half with the first goal coming from a play at 00:36:39, followed by the second goal early in the second half at 00:48:09. Considering that Bologna didn't have a single corner kick opportunity throughout the match indicates their efficiency. The team capitalized on their chances resulting from open play.

While there are no available statistics on shots on target or goalkeeper saves, the fact that AS Roma, despite having 4 corner kicks compared to Bologna's zero, couldn't score lays testament to perhaps a lack of strong finishing or effective set-piece strategies. It is also worth noting the Roma attack couldn't beat Bologna's offside trap, falling foul to it 4 times.

The match was intense and typified by aggressive play as evidenced by the high number of fouls and yellow cards on both sides. The home and away teams having committed 16 and 15 fouls, respectively. In possession-based infractions, both teams were on par as they garnered four yellow cards each. The timing of these cards, particularly for Roma, might have affected the team's dynamics negatively, hence their goalless result. The high count of yellow cards between the two teams paints a picture of a fiercely contested encounter.

In summary, this match was won by Bologna due to the team's ability to convert their opportunities into goals along with a solid defensive performance. Roma, despite having more corner kicks, could not turn these opportunities into tangible results, thus leaving the game result invariably in Bologna's favor.
