Match report: Loftus-Cheek opens, Nkunku converts penalty, Rabiot seals it
Ruben Loftus-Cheek broke the deadlock in the 20th minute, finishing from Adrien Rabiot’s assist. Christopher Nkunku doubled the lead from the spot after a foul by Bologna goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia. Rabiot wrapped up the scoring early in the second half with a left-footed strike following an interception from a long throw-in.
Tactical takeaways
Milan coped without Christian Pulisic, with midfield control and quick transitions proving decisive. Rabiot’s presence provided structure and delivery, while Nkunku offered direct threat and composure from the penalty spot. Bologna struggled to create sustained chances and were exposed on counterattacks.
Standings and season context
The result keeps Milan firmly in the title conversation, trailing Inter by five points and holding a four-point cushion over third-placed Napoli after 23 matches. Bologna sit midtable in 10th, well adrift of the European places.
Betting implications
Milan’s clinical display and attacking depth increase confidence in backing AC Milan to win in upcoming fixtures, with over 1.5 goals a realistic market. Nkunku’s form and penalty contribution make him a tempting anytime-scorer selection for punters. Consider Milan win or double chance and player-goal markets where available.
