Bologna ended Internazionale’s run of six unbeaten matches in all competitions with a 1-0 victory at the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, inflicting a further blow to the Milan outfit’s already slim Serie A (SA) title hopes.
Only league-leaders Napoli had picked up as many SA points as Bologna’s 13 in the previous six matches, and the Rossoblù moved the ball cleverly in the opening stages.
After a quarter of an hour, they thought they had taken the lead when Modou Barrow fired a fierce shot past André Onana and into the corner, but Nicolás Domínguez was standing in an offside position as he obstructed the Inter shot-stopper’s view.
A quick move created a chance for Çalhanoğlu, but he could only fire over the bar, before Romelu Lukaku had a shot well saved by Łukasz Skorupski.
In the end, Inter’s lack of a clinical edge in front of goal came back to haunt them when Riccardo Orsolini broke the deadlock with his seventh league goal of the campaign with just under 15 minutes remaining.
Inter offered little indication of staging a comeback, allowing the hosts to see out the victory relatively comfortably.
This was the first time this century that Bologna have registered back-to-back home H2H victories, and they are now just six points off a guaranteed European spot.
