\ud83d\udd25 Villa Turn on the Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Villa didn\u2019t take their foot off the gas after the opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Rogers continued to torment Bologna\u2019s defense, forcing multiple saves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Federico Ravaglia briefly kept Bologna alive with a penalty save from Watkins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- But Villa responded immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Lucas Digne\u2019s long throw sparked chaos in the box, allowing Buend\u00eda to show brilliant control before slotting home at the near post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moments later, Rogers ended his goal drought in style, firing a powerful effort past Ravaglia to make it 3-0 before halftime \u2014 effectively ending the tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\uddca Second-Half Control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With the contest already decided, Villa managed the second half with composure and confidence. Bologna attempted to reshuffle with substitutions, but the damage had already been done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Villa still found time for one more moment of brilliance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Ezri Konsa capped the performance with a stunning volley, sealing a 4-0 win on the night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The hosts barely needed to push forward, but still showcased their quality and efficiency in front of the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
