The great turnover of Stefano Pioli will not have worked. After the victory once morest Naples in the Champions League on Wednesday (1-0), the technician had decided to change his ten field players in Bologna. And his substitutes were surprised following just 32 seconds. Nicola Sansone took advantage of good work from Stefan Posch on the right side to crucify Mike Maignan and open the scoring (1st).
Stunned, the defending champions stammered their game. And it took them an individual feat to get out of the trap set by the players of Thiago Motta. Following a mess, Tommaso Pobega fired a powerful shot from the edge of the area which deceived Lukasz Skorupski using the post (40th). It was then the only thinning or almost of a meeting very poor in chances.
The entry of Rafael Leao following 70 minutes slightly boosted the Milan attack, but the finding remains the same. Milan concedes a sad draw – the second in a row in Serie A following that once morest Empoli (0-0) and finds itself within reach of Inter, fifth by one point, which receives Monza this Saturday (8:45 p.m.). Stefano Pioli knows it, all eyes are now on Tuesday and the return leg of the Champions League in Naples (9 p.m.).
