AC Milan 2-4 Bologna FC 1909: Serie A Match Report, 28 October 2026

Bologna went to San Siro with eight league goals from eight games and scored four more there in a single match. AC Milan 2-4 Bologna FC 1909 was a turnaround as well as a result against the grain of the table: Milan were 2-1 up at half-time, and every goal after the interval went to the visitors. Who scored them, and when, is not known; the 3-0 second half is all there is on how the lead went.

Milan had come in fifth on 18 points from eight games, goal difference +9, and unbeaten: five wins, three draws. They had won all three home matches, scoring eight and conceding two, and had let in seven league goals all season. Bologna's four, three of them in one half, added more than half as many again.

Bologna arrived 13th on 8 points, goal difference -2, after two wins, two draws and four defeats. Both wins had come on the road, at Lecce and Cagliari, and they had not scored more than twice in any league game. Only once had they gone in behind at half-time, at home to Sassuolo, and that ended 2-2. The recent head-to-head pointed the other way too: Milan had won the last three league meetings, 3-1 and 1-0 at San Siro among them, and Bologna had managed three goals across the last four.

Milan's unbeaten start ends at eight games. They stay on 18 points from nine and the goal difference drops from +9 to +7. Two points a game is still a better rate than the one that brought fifth place and 70 points last season, so one defeat does not rewrite their start. The new part is the goals-against column: eleven in nine matches now, a heavier rate than the 35 in 38 they conceded last season, and a first home defeat.

Bologna go from 8 points to 11 from nine games, and their goal difference from -2 to level, twelve scored and twelve conceded. Milan's lead over them is down from ten points to seven. This was their third straight away win, after defeats at Atalanta and Napoli opened their travels, and the first time this season they have won two league games in a row. Two results is not form, though, and last season's finish, Bologna eighth on 56 and fourteen points behind Milan, remains the fairer description of where the clubs stand.
