The battle for the Serie A championship is still very much open and will be decided between two teams: Napoli and Inter. After the southern Italians had already taken the lead with a 1-0 away win at Monza on Saturday (SportNews has reported), Inter were in action on Easter Sunday. However, there was nothing for the Lombards to gain at Bologna's Renato Dall'Ara Stadium – the hosts won thanks to a magical goal from Riccardo Orsolini.
Although both sides had numerous chances in the first half, nothing came of it. Inter dominated the game, while Bologna relied primarily on the lightning-fast Dan Ndoye, who repeatedly delivered dangerous pinpricks. The teams went into the dressing room with a goalless 0-0 scoreline.
Game is decided in injury time
The start of the second half was extremely chaotic and fractious. The referee didn't take a clear line on the pitch, and a red card was shown to Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano and Inter's assistant coach. The game then petered out without any major opportunities.Simone Inzaghi and his team suffered a defeat. © APA/afp / FILIPPO MONTEFORTE
Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who was heavily involved in the game, had a lot of touches of the ball. However, this move proved unsuccessful, as Bologna defended well and closed down the spaces. In the closing stages, Bologna pinned the visitors back in their own penalty area. The highlight was Riccardo Orsolini's winning goal in stoppage time: Inter defender Yann Bisseck inadvertently extended a long throw-in from Juan Miranda to Orsolini, who plucked up the courage to fire the ball into the net with a scissor-kick (90'+4').
Atalanta „fliegt“ zum Sieg über Milan
Im Topspiel am Abend empfang Milan die Mannschaft von Atalanta. Das Spiel kann durchaus als Derby angesehen werden, Mailand und Bergamo liegen knapp 40 Autominuten voneinander entfernt.

Die bessere Mannschaft war Milan, die das Geschehen diktierten. Die Elf von Gian Piero Gasperini machte die Räume aber gut zu und warf sich in jeden Schuss – zahlreiche Versuche der Milan-Spieler wurden geblockt. Für das goldene Tor sorgte Atalantas Ederson in der 62. Minute, als er nach einer Kopfball-Vorlage von Raoul Bellanova mit einem sehenswerten Flugkopfball zum 1:0 einnetzte. Milan versuchte bis zum Schlusspfiff zu reagieren, große Möglichkeiten blieben aber aus.
Relegation duel ends in a draw
Bereits am Nachmittag hatten sich Empoli und Venezia mit einem 2:2-Unentschieden getrennt. Beide Teams befinden sich derzeit auf einem direkten Abstiegsplatz, weshalb ihnen der Punkt nicht wirklich weiterhilft. Sowohl Empoli als auch Venedig haben 25 Punkte auf dem Konto, das rettende Ufer ist nur einen einzigen Punkt entfernt – dort befindet sich momentan Lecce mit 26 Punkten.Die Venezia-Spieler vor den mitgereisten Fans. © ANSA / CLAUDIO GIOVANNINI
Meanwhile, Monza is far behind in last place (15 points). While staying in the league is still mathematically possible, realistically it's very unlikely.
