At 2:15 a.m. Beijing time on April 28, the 20th round of the 2021-2022 Serie A season was a make-up match, and Inter conceded two goals in a 1-0 lead away from home, and finally lost 1-2 to Bologna. Inter, who lost the post-match, continued to rank second in the league with 72 points, and Milan took the initiative to compete for the title.
Inter knows the importance of this game, with Inzaghi Jr. playing his main role in this game, Martinez and Correa joining the front, and "Justa Ball King" and Brozovic leading the midfield. Just 3 minutes into the opening, the away Inter made a fantastic start, Barrera passed the ball, Perisic fired a powerful left-footed cannon on the perimeter, and the ball was in the net, 0-1! The Sabre broke 2 lunar droughts and the last time he scored for Inter was in the Milan derby.
Inter continued to press their opponents away from home, with Martinez unable to score a goal by trying multiple shots. Instead, Bologna's first kick of the game was successful, and in the 28th minute, Barrow crossed and the veteran Chinese Super League player Arnautovic nodded his head and broke the net in the penalty area, 1-1!
Inter continued to attack their opponents in the second half, but no one expected that Bologna scored in the 82nd minute, Inter goalkeeper Radu kicked empty when he was released from the box, and Saint-Sauné easily sent the ball into the empty goal, 2-1! Inter's substitute goalkeeper made a huge mistake and could be said to have given the opponent a goal.
In the end, Inter lost 2-1 to Bologna away from home, and the Serie A title battle became a concession. Originally, Inter could overtake Milan to the top as long as they won this make-up match, and get the initiative to compete for the title, who could have imagined that the Nerazzurri would overturn.
At present, the title race in Serie A has become clear, and Milan, with a two-point advantage, is determined to win the championship as long as they win the remaining 4 games. Milan's remaining four opponents are Fiorentina, Verona, Atalanta and Sassuolo, while Inter's remaining four opponents are Udinese, Empoli, Cagliari and Sampdoria. Inter, by contrast, are clearly more dominant in the schedule, but the Nerazzurri will need Milan to flip over and concede points if they want to win the title, and the balance of the championship has been tilted in Milan's favor.
