Bologna 1 Milan 4
In the world of football, setting records straight is something of a priority. We were defeated, at home, in the very first game of the season, in the Serie A, by the side from the Renato Dall'Ara. And we were going there, for 3 points, and vengeance.
Sinisa Mihajlovic was quite confident of his side doing a double on Milan. Least did he know what awaited him. Volpi and Seedorf had the first chances of the game for their respective sides. Amoroso was brought down in the Milan box and his side were awarded a penalty which veteran Di Vaio took with great confidence. 1-0 to Bologna. Early signs should have indicated that Milan were in for a humiliating evening. But the men in red and black had other intentions. AC hit back immediately when a long range effort by Kaka was parried onto Seedorf's path by Antoniolli. The Dutchman is more of a predator in that region and he finished calmly. Milan were back on level terms. Not much later, Zambrotta was brought down in the Bologna box, therefore earning Milan a penalty. Kaka scores, 2-1 to the visitors. Amoroso continued to urge the Milan defense to make mistakes as Kaka and Beckam continued to go haywire at the other end. Gaby Mudingayi saw his second yellow of the game as he brought down Pato, and the home side were reduced to 10 men after 39 minutes. A few moments later, the sending off came back to haunt Bologna as Kaka and Pato combined well to give Milan a 2 goal lead. It was Kaka's second of the game.
Pato had a chance after play resumed, as he was put through by David Beckam, but the starlet put the ball over. Seedorf then put Kaka through and the Brazilian had a great chance to score his hatrick but Moras turned it over for a corner. A counter attacking move from Milan saw Beckam score his first goal for his new club. It was a shot rifled into the right hand corner from a narrow angle. Bologna, to avoid any further humiliation, completely shut shop and seemed content to see the game through. Beckam, Inzaghi and Ronaldinho had their share of chances but couldn't convert. Overall, the second half was a comfortable one for Milan as they made the extra man count. The copious talent and quality in attack proved too much for the Bologna side to handle. We face off against high soaring Genoa midweek. They also had their measure of happiness at the beginning of the season. But this performance must serve them well as a reality check as they come visiting the Giuseppe Meazza midweek.
