Bologna have been promoted back to Serie A at the first time of asking after drawing 1-1 with Pescara in the second leg of their Serie B play-off on Tuesday, Gianluca Sansone scoring the crucial goal in a dramatic encounter.

Due to teams' table position in the regular season being the main tie breaker in the event of an aggregate draw in the play-off, Bolgona only needed to avoid defeat to clinch their promotion after playing out a goalless draw in Pescara on Friday and they prevailed despite a tense second half.

Sansone gave the hosts the lead eight minutes before the break, smashing an emphatic finish into the roof of the net after a give-and-go inside the area.

Congratulations and welcome back to @BfcOfficialPage that made me grow and debut in Serie A..!!!
