Dallinga’s Breakthrough Moment: Scoring Against Torino to Propel Bologna

Thijs Dallinga, the Dutch striker for Bologna, has finally had his breakthrough moment in Serie A. After a goalless start to his Italian adventure, Dallinga found the back of the net in a crucial match against Torino on matchday 17.

The 23-year-old forward, who had previously seen a goal disallowed in a Champions League fixture against Lille, managed to break his scoring drought in spectacular fashion. Coming on as a substitute for Santiago Castro, Dallinga wasted no time in making an impact.

In a remarkable turn of events, the former Toulouse player scored just 42 seconds after stepping onto the pitch. This lightning-quick goal is the second-fastest by a substitute in the current Serie A season, surpassed only by Noslin’s 27-second strike, also against Torino.

Dallinga’s immediate impact is particularly noteworthy given his prolific record last season. With Toulouse, he netted an impressive 19 goals across all competitions, showcasing the potential that Bologna saw in him.

This goal marks a significant milestone for Dallinga and could be the catalyst he needs to replicate his previous scoring form in the Italian top flight. Bologna fans will be hoping this is just the beginning of a prolific spell for their Dutch striker.
