Bologna on the way

Milan against Bologna at home. A match that brings back memories from 1 May 2011. At three matches from the end of the season, Milan played host to Bologna and came out winners thanks to Flamini’s goal after 6 minutes. A week later, the Rossoneri won the title. This match has been played 65 times at the San Siro with a record of 36 Rossoneri wins, 17 draws and 12 losses with 119 goals scored and 57 conceded. The season before last was another win for the Rossoneri thanks to a goal from Seedorf on 75’. In the games prior however, the visitors took the honours. On 31 August 2008, the first home match of the season for Milan ended 2-1 in the visitors favour. Marco Di Vaio opened the scoring on 18 with Massimo Ambrosini equalising on 41 only for Francesco Valiani to get the winner on 79’ celebrating their teams return to the top flight after three seasons outside. The last time Bologna played at the San Siro before that match was on 31 January 2005 and Carlos Ancelotti’s side went down 1-0 to a Locatelli goal on 27’. The season before that, the Rossoneri won 2-1 with Shevchenko opening the scoring, Bologna equalising thanks to Nervo and Super Pippo getting the winner on 85’. The last draw between the two was back on 28 October 2001 when the game finished scoreless.
