Bologna's late heroics: Orsolini's goal dents Inter's championship hopes
In a thrilling Serie A match on Sunday, Bologna shocked league leaders Inter Milan with a stunning last-minute goal. Riccardo Orsolini scored the decisive goal, leading Bologna to a 1-0 victory at home. This win dashed Inter's hopes of retaining their championship title.
Orsolini found the net in stoppage time. He worked a sharp bicycle kick after an Inter defender flicked on a long throw-in. This moment secured three points for Bologna.
With this victory, Bologna climbed to fourth place in the league with 60 points, making them strong contenders for a Champions League spot. Meanwhile, Inter sits at the top with 71 points but faces pressure from second-placed Napoli.
The game remained tense, as both teams struggled to create chances. Each side managed only one shot on target until the final moments. The match resulted in Bologna's manager, Vincenzo Italiano, and Inter's assistant coach, Massimiliano Farris, receiving red cards for arguing with the referee.
This goal marked Orsolini's 12th of the season. This places him among the league's top scorers with Inter’s Lautaro MartÃnez and Napoli’s Romelu Lukaku. Bologna's victory boosts their confidence and complicates Inter's title defence.
