Bologna signaled their intent early when Nadir Zortea forced a dangerous ball across the goal. See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog. But just beyond Jens Odgaard sliding into the six-yard box, bologna had the first real chance when Nadir Zortea flashed the ball across the face of goal from the right.
The visitors capitalized on a midfield turnover involving Yunus Musah, allowing Mbangula to open the scoring in the 8th minute. As Yunus Musah was robbed in midfield and Zortea again pulled back from the right by-line, this time Samuel Mbangula was ready to sweep in undisturbed from nine yards, it was only a warning.
Milan responded quickly, with Cisse netting his first of the match in the 14th minute following a defensive error by Bologna. However, Bologna were punished for an even more catastrophic error playing out from the back for the equaliser.
Cisse doubled his tally in the 27th minute to give the hosts a 2-1 lead, though Milan struggled to contain Bologna’s attacks down the left flank throughout the first half. As Federico Bernardeschi got there too and pulled back to trouble the defence, the Rossoneri were having huge problems defending down their left flank.
The second half saw a sudden collapse from Milan.
Davide Bartesaghi deflected a cross into his own net in the 60th minute, leveling the score.
Just two minutes later, Mbangula struck again to put Bologna ahead.
Milan’s struggles were compounded by the loss of Fikayo Tomori to injury at halftime, as the team failed to regain their momentum.
Mbangula sealed his hat-trick and the three points for Bologna in the 86th minute, leaving Milan to contemplate their first league setback of the season.
