In the second half, Bologna maintained their strong performance, with Nicolò Cambiaghi and Giovanni Fabbian creating scoring opportunities. Fabbian's long-range drive was impressive, but Jacopo Seghetti made a crucial save. Substitute Nicolás Domínguez was active and nearly sealed the win with a narrowly missed effort.


Thijs Dallinga, who had scored twice in the first leg, had a chance to wrap up the win but initially struck wide. However, he made no mistake on his second attempt, heading in Charalampos Lykogiannis' cross to ensure Bologna won both legs against Empoli. This victory extended Bologna's unbeaten home streak to 11 games and set up a Coppa Italia final showdown with AC Milan.
