Bologna produced a remarkable second-half fightback to defeat AC Milan 2-1, climbing to sixth in Serie A while ending a long-standing winless run against the Rossoneri that stretched back to 2016. This result throws a spanner in Milan\u2019s European qualification hopes and puts Bologna in a prime position to chase a top-six finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Drama as Milan Takes the Lead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both teams showed attacking intent from the first whistle. Milan had the first big chance within seconds when Santiago Gim\u00e9nez fired over from close range after being set up by Yunas Musah. Bologna responded with a dangerous attack of their own, as Malick Thiaw nearly scored an own goal, just missing his own net while trying to block a Benja Dom\u00ednguez cross.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite Bologna\u2019s dominance, Milan struck first. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan launched a long ball forward, which was controlled by Gim\u00e9nez and laid off to Rafael Le\u00e3o. The Portuguese forward rounded \u0141ukasz Skorupski with ease and calmly slotted into the empty net to give Milan a 1-0 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bologna\u2019s Second-Half Comeback<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bologna emerged from the break with renewed determination, and it took just three minutes for them to level the score. A well-worked free-kick from Lewis Ferguson created chaos in Milan\u2019s defense. Lorenzo De Silvestri\u2019s header set up Giovanni Fabbian, who knocked the ball into the path of Santiago Castro, and the young forward made no mistake with his finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milan tried to regain control, with Musah coming close to scoring a stunning solo goal, only to be denied by Skorupski. Bologna, however, remained on the front foot, with Juan Miranda unleashing a powerful strike that barely missed the target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late Winner and Bologna\u2019s Historic Victory<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

AC Milan manager S\u00e9rgio Concei\u00e7\u00e3o introduced Luka Jovi\u0107 for Gim\u00e9nez, and the Serbian forward almost made an instant impact, heading a Youssouf Fofana cross straight at Skorupski. Moments later, Milan\u2019s Nicol\u00f2 Casale hit the post with a powerful header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bologna took full advantage of Milan\u2019s missed opportunities. In the 82nd minute, Nicol\u00f2 Cambiaghi delivered a sublime ball from the left, and Dan Ndoye showed great composure to slide in the winning goal. The Stadio Renato Dall’Ara erupted as Bologna secured a famous victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What This Means for Both Teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Bologna, this result cements their place in the top-six battle, adding to their impressive home form, with seven wins in their last nine home league matches. AC Milan, on the other hand, faces growing pressure, having won just one of their last five games across all competitions. They find themselves in eighth place, and their Champions League hopes are fading fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
