Nigerian wing wizard, Samuel Chukwueze, came clutch for AC Milan in their 3-1 comeback win over Bologna in the Serie A.
Bologna took the lead in the 49th minute of play through Orsolini and enjoyed a 15-minute spell after the goal in which they could have added a couple more goals to seal the point, but poor decision-making in the final third let them down.
Those misses eventually proved costly when Milan rang the changes, bringing in Kyle Walker, Samuel Chukwueze, and Gimenez, a move that turned the game on its head and ensured Milan got all three points.
Samuel Chukwueze’s blinding pace and trickery were the difference. He provided two pre-assists to help Milan turn the game on its head before running into space and beating his marker to provide an assist for Gimenez to grab his second of the night and the third goal for Milan, putting the game beyond the reach of Bologna.
The result is a moral booster for AC Milan, who face the same opposition in the cup final in a week. Milan will hope to replicate today’s result to seal victory and win the cup against the same opposition.
