Suture point for Milan, top of the lowest

Milan, dreaming of achieving their first Serie A since 2010-11, could not beat Bologna on Monday, but remain in the lead, now with just one point more than Naples (0-0). At the San Siro there are banners supporting Sinisa Mihajlovic, coach of Bologna and former coach of Milan, who will not lead his team because he returned to the leukemia he suffered and overcame in 2019. Bologna offered the tie to his coach , which cut three straight wins for Milan. For red and black, this is a seam point.

It was a game that, despite dominating, was very difficult for Milan as Bologna made a great defense, with a very good performance from their goalkeeper, Łukasz Skorupski, who made a very good save.

In the 17th minute, the first clear opportunity for Milan, Leao’s work, but the ball rose. In the 27th minute Maignan, the Milan goalkeeper, was able to deflect a shot from Barrow. In the 33rd minute, it was Theo Hernández who forced Skorupski to intervene. Before half -time, the chance fell to Olivier Giroud, but his header was saved by the Bologna goalkeeper.

Ante Rebic came in after the break for Messias and somewhat encouraged Milan’s attack, but to no avail. Zlatan Ibrahimovic came on in the 70th minute to calm Giroud down and scored a heavy header from Gary Medel. The Swedish star was given a bandage on his head, but was able to continue on the field. Medel, starter, was replaced.

Milan tried and tried, but Bologna knew how to successfully defend themselves. Skorupski became a hero again by stopping with a great header from Theo Hernández late in the game. Milan were left with two points that could have been invaluable. Now he has one point more than Napoli (who beat Atalanta 1-3 on Sunday) and 4 more than Inter, who beat Juventus the same day (0-1).
