Scorpions and Bologna forward player, Musa Barrow has dedicated his goal during Bologna’s 3-0 home win over Udinese to the family of his former coach Sinisa Mihajlovic who died on December 16, 2022.

The 24-year-old Gambian international scored his third goal of the season during Bologna’s week-24 fixture of Italian Serie A played at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara on Sunday.  

Speaking to the media after the game, Barrow took the opportunity to pay tribute to Mihajlovic, who brought the Gambian international to the club in January, 2020. 

Barrow told reporters: “I want to dedicate it to Mihajlovic’s family, I really loved the coach.”

“I am very happy, above all because I got back to scoring and helped the team win. I miss scoring consistently. When the goals do not come you have to keep working. Europe? Let us think game by game, we will see at the end of the season.” 

Meanwhile, the former Hawks FC forward scored Thiago Motta side’s third goal of the afternoon, guiding the ball into the bottom corner with a bending first time effort, rounding off an impressive build-up, which involved six of the Rossoblu’s outfield players. 

Thanks to Barrow and his teammates’ efforts, Bologna retained their eighth place standing on the Serie A table and are just four points shy of Juventus in seventh.
