Inter suffered a major blow in the title race as a spectacular goal from Riccardo Orsolini in extra time gave Bologna a dramatic 1-0 victory at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. The success temporarily lifted the Reds into fourth place, keeping alive their hopes of a historic UEFA Champions League qualification.
In the first Serie A match played over Easter since 1978, Bologna were aiming to continue their push towards Europe's elite, but faced a tough challenge from the league leaders. Inter started the game better, with Carlos Augusto heading in a corner that went wide.
The first half was devoid of many chances and intensity, with only two shots on goal from both teams. The Blues called for a penalty after Nicolò Barella was brought down in the area, but the referee allowed play to continue. Inter's defense was solid, as usual, but their attack was not working even after the break. Even the sending off of Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano did not help Inter change the rhythm.
Meanwhile, Bologna continued to fight hard and were rewarded in the end when Orsolini scored a fantastic goal with an acrobatic shot after a long ball in the area. With this victory, Bologna closes the gap with Juventus and Atalanta, while Inter remains at the top on equal points with Napoli, five weeks before the end of the season. (A2 Televizion)
