Bologna defeats Atalanta 1-0, reaches Coppa Italia semifinals

Bologna secured a spot in the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the first time in 26 years with a 1-0 victory over Atalanta, thanks to a late goal from substitute Santiago Castro. Castro made an immediate impact, scoring just two minutes after coming on, connecting with a free kick from Charalampos Lykogiannis in the 80th minute. Bologna's goalkeeper, Lukasz Skorupski, played a crucial role in the match, making several key saves to keep Atalanta at bay. The win marks Bologna's first advancement to the semi-finals since 1999 and their first overall since 1974, when they last won the tournament. The team will now face either Juventus or Empoli in the upcoming semi-final. Atalanta's loss continues a challenging start to the year, having struggled to secure wins in recent matches.
