Bologna and Lazio have played out a goalless first half in their Serie A clash at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara.

The hosts looked more positive in the opening minutes and were trying to take the game to the Roman club.

However, Bologna could create the first chance only after 28 minutes when Alessandro Diamanti and Panagiotis Kone combined to set up Gyorgy Garics, who then cut the ball back for Rolando Bianchi to shoot straight at Lazio goalkeeper Etrit Berisha.

That was the only event of any note in the first half as the visitors continued to struggle for ideas.
