The reigning Italian champion remained on six consecutive victories in the league, before his draw against Bologna (2-2) in a late match.
Inter Milan missed the opportunity to get back on the heels of leader Naples by conceding a draw at home against Bologna (2-2) in a late match of the 19th day of the Italian Championship, Wednesday. The reigning Italian champion, who remained on six consecutive victories in the league, consolidated his 2nd place but is three points behind Napoli, with still a game in hand. His evening started as badly as it ended.
He was picked up cold by Bologna who opened the scoring with a 20-meter shot deflected into Yann Sommer’s goal by Santiago Castro (15). It only took four minutes for the Nerazzuri to react and equalize thanks to Denzel Dumfries, well placed to catch the ball diverted by the Bologna goalkeeper on a strike from Federico Dimarco.
The Italian international was once again decisive on Inter’s second goal: launched on the left wing, he delivered a perfect cross for Lautaro Martinez who, at close range, left Lukasz Skorupski no chance (45 +1)
But upon returning from the locker room, Simone Inzaghi’s team strangely lost their footing and left the ball to Bologna who increased their attacks and logically ended up equalizing thanks to Emil Holm (64th). Despite a surge in the last quarter of an hour, the Milanese, clumsy like Mehdi Taremi alone in front of the goal (84th), did not manage to regain the advantage.
“There is a little bitterness in the locker room after this draw, we were playing in front of our audience and we were in a good dynamic”analyzed by Matteo Darmian. “We had several chances to score this third goal, it’s a shame. The team had a good match against a good Bologna team. In this championship, all matches are complicated”added Inzaghi.
