Overview
- Piotr Zielinski, Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram scored at San Siro, with Santiago Castro pulling one back for Bologna, as Inter reclaimed first place in Serie A.
- The result marked Inter’s fifth consecutive league win and a measure of revenge after Bologna eliminated them on penalties in the Supercoppa semifinal in December.
- Bologna’s winless league run stretched further under Vincenzo Italiano, with the visitors outplayed despite notable saves from goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia.
- Fiorentina edged Cremonese 1-0 in Florence thanks to Moise Kean’s stoppage-time finish after a late introduction, a result that lifted the Viola to level with Verona and Pisa in the table.
- Coach Daniele Vanoli said he initially would not have taken Kean to the bench but did so after Edin Dzeko became unavailable, rejecting talk of a ‘case’, while Cremonese’s Davide Nicola criticized his side’s lack of sharpness.
