Bologna 1-1 Milan: Disappointed Diavolo At The Dall’ara. Milan paid for its extensive roster movement as Tommaso Pobega overcame Nicola Sansone’s 33-second opening goal, although two penalty appeals in Bologna were turned down.
After winning just one of their previous five Serie A games, the Rossoneri prioritized getting ready for the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal against Napoli after a 1-0 triumph, changing all 10 outfield players. Riccardo Orsolini was suspended, and Marko Arnautovic, Roberto Soriano, and Andrea Cambiaso were injured for the hosts, but they recently defeated Inter and Atalanta while holding Lazio, who was in second position, to a draw.
Bologna 1-1 Milan: Disappointed Diavolo At The Dall’ara
It took 33 seconds for the score to be broken as Nicola Sansone scored from six yards out after Stefan Posch pulled back from the by-line.
After attempting to evade Adama Soumaoro, Ante Rebic’s hesitant penalty requests were turned down. Lukasz Skorupski subsequently smothered his header, and Alessandro Florenzi’s free-kick
was parried by the goalie.
The Rossoneri siege finally paid off when Tommaso Pobega hammered home a left-footed rocket from well outside the box to equalize Michel Aebischer’s just-missed shot.
Rafael Leao and Brahim Diaz were added by Stefano Pioli in the waning moments, and they made a difference by creating two significant chances in only 60 seconds. Leao next set up Pobega for a potent shot that was blocked by Charalampos Lykogiannis. After Junior Messias’ first roll across from the right had an odd wobble and ricocheted wide from five yards off Rebic’s face, the ball was first set up by Leao.
Jhon Lucumi handled in the area as Brahim Diaz soared over on a Leao assist, but there was no penalty because the ball ricocheted off his leg first.
