"Chicken" in the Inter game could give Milan the title | Corriere

Bologna thwarted the club's plans Inter milan to fight for the Italian Championship title. In a delayed game of the 20th round that could have put Simone Inzaghi's men at the top of the table, the home team came away with a 2-1 comeback, this Wednesday, at the Renato Dall'ara Stadium, in Bologna. Ivan Perisic opened the scoring for Inter, but Marko Arnautovic and Nicola Sansone secured the comeback.

DRAMATIC SITUATION

With four rounds left in the tournament, the Milan only depends on themselves to lift the trophy. The team has 74 points, followed by Inter, with 72. Bologna, with 42, occupies 13th place.

INTER OPENS, BUT DOES NOT TRANSFORM DOMAIN INTO ADVANTAGE

The first half was completely dominated by the team. Milan . Inter opened the scoring just three minutes into the game, with a beautiful goal from Perisic. The Croatian, who has a great season, received the ball from Dumfries, played the ball with Brozović, gave Musa Barrow a pen and finished with precision into goalkeeper Skorupski's left corner.

FIRM RESPONSE

The team could have opened up an even bigger gap on the scoreboard, but missed opportunities. And in Bologna's first chance, the equalizer came in the 33rd minute. Arnautović went high and headed into Radu's left corner. The ball deflected off the post and went in.

DECISIVE FACTOR

Inter's starter, Samir Handanovic, was greatly missed by Inzaghi. The coach selected the reserve Ionut Radu, who had only played one match, in the Italian Cup, on January 19th. And the debut in the A series was to be forgotten...

SANSONE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF FAILURE

When the break came around, Inter still dominated the action, but were still unable to turn their dominance into goals. And he didn't count on a historic turnaround in the second stage. At 82, a Radu's gross error decided the result. Lautaro Martínez took a throw-in from the left, the Romanian got through and Sansone calmly scored the goal.
