The decisive moment came in the second half when Swiss winger Ndoye found the back of the net from close range, solidifying his legacy within the club. His goal, scored just 53 minutes into the match, proved to be the turning point that led Bologna to victory.
Despite their reputation for resilience, Milan struggled to mount a significant response, with goalkeeper Skorupski remaining largely untested in the closing moments of the game.
Although Milan recorded an expected goals of 1.41 compared to Bologna’s 1.04, it was the Rossoblu who emerged victorious, celebrating a momentous achievement.
For Milan, the defeat adds to a disappointing season, as they seek to regroup and secure wins in their final two matches, starting with a crucial encounter against Roma in the capital.
Meanwhile, Bologna, riding high on their Coppa Italia success, is still in the hunt for a Champions League spot and will face their historic rivals Fiorentina in the upcoming Derby dell’Appennino.
