Joel Obi scores first goal of the season in Chievo’s stalemate with Bologna

Joel Obi scored his first goal of the season in Chievo’s 2-2 draw with Bologna in Sunday’s Italian Serie A encounter.

The midfielder who joined the men in Yellow and Blues stripes in the summer scored a second-half goal but was not enough to help his side secure their first league win this season.

However, the stalemate ensured that Gian Piero Ventura’s men halted their seven-game losing run.

Filippo Inzaghi’s side started the game brightly with Federico Santander scoring the curtain raiser three minutes into the game.

The home team rallied from behind through Riccardo Meggiorini who levelled proceedings in the 20th minute.
