Watch: Cisse’s brace not enough as Mbangula leads Bologna comeback vs. Milan – the highlights

By: Oliver Fisher

Alphadjo Cisse’s first-half brace was not enough as AC Milan fell to a shock 4-2 home defeat to Bologna at San Siro.

Bologna broke the deadlock in the eighth minute with Mbangula, who netted his first goal for the Rossoblu, but the equaliser took just a few minutes to come as a high recovery by Omari Hutchinson gave Cisse an easy finish from Theate’s giveaway.

By 27 minutes the Rossoneri led, when Tomori collected the ball after another move by Hutchinson and set up Cisse with a cross to the far post. It looked like Milan had seized control of the game going into the break, but then they were rocked.

Miranda’s introduction had an immediate impact for the away side as he delivered the cross from a free-kick that Bartesaghi put into his own net. It was 3-2 just 60 seconds later, when Mbangula scored his second goal of the night.

The Belgian would complete his hat-trick after Francesco Camarda – who also missed a header to make it 3-3 – gave the ball away, allowing Odgaard to square on the counter and wrap up a 4-2 win.
