Verona 0 Bologna 2: Donsah and Giaccherini on target

Bologna recorded an important 2-0 away win over Verona in Saturday's Serie A encounter at the Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi courtesy of goals from Emanuele Giaccherini and Godfred Donsah.

Roberto Donadoni's men were high on confidence heading into the game following last week's 3-0 victory against Atalanta and netted twice within the opening 14 minutes.

The result moves Bologna three points clear of the relegation zone, while the home side remain in a precarious situation with a mere six points.

The visitors immediately pushed for a second and were rewarded in the 14th minute when striker Mattia Destro set up Donsah and the Ghanaian midfielder doubled his side's lead with a fine finish.

Andrea Mandorlini's men refused to give up, yet Mirante proved to be too much of an obstacle in the away goal.
