Impact Pobega gave Bologna a two-goal lead in the early stages of the second half with a clever finish on a one-on-one sequence, but the entire credit should go to Santiago Castro, who set up the goal with a beautiful backheel. This was Pobega's first goal of the season, and as a central midfielder who doesn't offer a lot of upside, he's not likely to contribute much in fantasy going forward.
