Inter reacted perfectly after their heavy defeat against Club Brugge in the Champions League. Traveling to Bologna, the Nerazzurri were surprised by Tommaso Pobega’s opening goal in the 10th minute. But Marcus Thuram tied the two teams just before the break (44th), allowing Cristian Chivu’s men to get back into the game.

In the second half, Inter took the advantage thanks to Carlos Augusto, who entered the game a few moments earlier, on a pass from Piotr Zielinski (70th). Despite several opportunities to widen the gap, the Milanese had to wait until the 84th minute to finally take cover. Served by Carlos Augusto after a relay from Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Ange-Yoan Bonny sealed the success of his team (1-3). An important victory for Inter, which consolidates its first place in the standings, while Bologna concedes its first defeat since the arrival of Raffaele Palladino.
