The match, played on Wednesday, May 14, 2025, saw a strong performance from both teams, but Bologna secured the victory thanks to a decisive goal by Swiss player Dan Ndoye in the 53rd minute.
This triumph marks Bologna’s first Coppa Italia title in 51 years, with their last win dating back to the 1973-1974 season. Beyond the trophy, the victory also grants Bologna a spot in next season’s UEFA Europa League, a significant achievement for the club.
