PRIMAVERA BEATEN 3-1 IN BOLOGNA

Another loss for Milan Primavera, the second on the bounce after the midweek loss against Bayer Leverkusen, this time another 3-1 loss. The game played out a bit different in Crespellano, with the Rossoneri firing themselves into the lead immediately thanks to a goal from Bonomi, the Bologna goals came from Ebone, Labedzki and Markovic. After the draw against Cesena last game, Head Coach Guidi's side didn't manage to find the win this time round, in the game before the international break. The outlook looked good, but after the double from the home side (Ebone 29' and Labedzki 32'), our enthusiasm seemed to have been damaged a bit.

The result leaves our Primavera in fifth place in the league, three points off top spot which is now taken by Fiorentina, in a league which is very balanced and full of surprises. On Matchday 7 of Primavera 1, the Rossoneri were missing a bit of precision and final touch to match the spirit and intensity that Bologna brought to the field. However, there were many chances to equalise before the third Bologna goal in the 87th minute. Now the international break to recharge the batteries after an intense month of matches.

MATCH REPORT
The first chance of the match was for the Rossoneri, with a great right footed shot from Scotti, however, it was saved by Happonen; the advantage for Milan Primavera came from a corner. The action was born from play by Comotto, who created a chance for Duțu, header from the back post and a tap-in for Bonomi. The goal gave the team confidence, and a few minutes later, they went close to doubling the lead with a good through ball for Grilli from Ibrahimović, stopped from a timely save from Happonen. On the half hour mark, the game was turned on its head: Bologna had a corner, which led to a bit of a mess in the area, but Ebone managed to poke it in to equalise. In the 32nd minute, the home side doubled their lead through Labedzki, who beat Byar and put away a first time right footed strike to make it 2-1. The last chance of the first half fell to Stalmach who shot from distance, but this was saved.

The second half started and Bologna came out fighting with an early opportunity, Byar's cross was met by Mangiameli but he put it wide. AC Milan grew into the game again and Bakoune had a chance but put it just above the crossbar. In the 64th minute, Scotti attacked but Happonen came out and stopped him in his tracks, while in the 84th minute Bakoune found space on the right, controlling the ball and crossing into the box, but Scotti anticipated the ball and collected. Rossonero pressure was great, but despite this, Bologna managed to grab a third against the run of play. In a free kick very close to the corner flag, Pittarella crossed and found Markovic, who put away the third of the game. Bonomi tried his luck in the last minute from distance. It finished 3-1 to Bologna.
