Dovbyk's stoppage-time leveller earns Bologna a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo
Bologna and Sassuolo shared four goals and a red card in a Serie A round three fixture that finished 2-2, with the home side twice coming from behind before snatching a stoppage-time equaliser. Josh Doig put the visitors ahead in the 19th minute, a lead Sassuolo held at half-time.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Bologna 46%, the draw 31%, Sassuolo 23%. It finished Bologna 2–2 Sassuolo.
Bologna's rating edge, but the draw is in play — Bologna are a shade stronger on our strength rating, and that is most of Bologna's 46%. The draw at 31% is lifted by the early-season fade in home wins.
Why Bologna at 46%?
Bologna sit 89 points higher on our strength rating — 1779 to 1689. Sides with a 50–100-point rating edge at home won 50.5% of 10,431 such games.
Why only 46%?
Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Bologna's column. Across 10,972 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. Serie A home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to the other outcomes. Serie A homes won 43.3% of 6,105 games vs 44.9% across all 99,907 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why is the draw second, ahead of the Sassuolo win?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 26.6%. These teams' recent games average 2.5 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 26.2% of 27,753. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw. The goals environment adds 1.4 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last 6 between them: Bologna 3 wins, 3 draws, Sassuolo 0 wins. Most recently Sassuolo 0–1 Bologna, 6 months ago. Fixture history hasn't carried forward once class is level: past leaders won just 43.1% of 5078 such games — no measurable edge, 0 points. Sassuolo have played 3+ games in the last two weeks; their opponents haven't. Between equals, congested home sides won 46.9% of 2429 measured games and congested visitors 28.2% of 2481 — the cells disagree with each other and with the flat rest table, so schedule stays a watch item at 0 points.
