1 ............ BOLOGNA late for great winner!

-

telling contributi­on moments of going on.

Elias Kachunga was the man to head just wide after the continuing Mooy had dunked a lovely ball into the area towards the former Ingolstadt striker.

The Terriers’ top scorer in the promotion season would go on to rue that chance as Bologna were level moments later.

The Italians pounced on a loose ball from Lossl and countered quickly, with Falcinelli powering his shot past the keeper from a flicked invitation into the box.

And it was almost a two-goal swing after Lossl handled a back pass, but the laid-off free kick struck the well-constructe­d Town wall.

After the brief Bologna barrage, Town came back into the game and began to control possession once more.

The Terriers carved out two more good opportunit­ies in the second period, but Rajiv van La Parra could not beat the goalkeeper in a one-on-one situation and Steve Mounie could not steer his header on target after throwing himself at a Lowe cross.

Juninho Bacuna was the last man to fire wide for either side, but his free kick fizzed into the near post side netting.

Luckily for the Dutchman, the game was won by Mounie with the final header of the match - the Benin internatio­nal powering the ball home from a Lowe delivery.

Town deserved the victory in Brixen and look to have carried their form from the Olympique Lyonnais win over to Europe.

Hopefully that can continue against both a RB Leipzig side on Friday and Chelsea eight days later.

Bring it on! Town’s Alex Pritchard is bundled over in the 2-1 friendly victory over Bologna in Austria and, inset, David Wagner’s side go on the attack
