AC Milan Primavera Suffers Second Consecutive Defeat with 3-1 Loss to Bologna

AC Milan‘s Primavera team faced another setback this afternoon as they suffered a 3-1 loss against Bologna, marking their second consecutive defeat following a midweek loss to Bayer Leverkusen. The match, held in Crespellano, saw the Rossoneri take an early lead through a goal by Bonomi, but Bologna responded with goals from Ebone, Labedzki, and Markovic, overturning Milan’s initial advantage.

Head Coach Federico Guidi‘s team entered the match eager to secure a victory before the international break, especially after a recent draw against Cesena. However, following quick goals from Bologna’s Ebone and Labedzki in the first half, Milan’s momentum was significantly affected. Despite numerous opportunities to equalize, Bologna secured their win with a third goal in the 87th minute by Markovic.

The defeat leaves Milan in fifth place, three points behind league leaders Fiorentina in a highly competitive and unpredictable league. Milan demonstrated energy and tenacity but lacked the precision and final touch needed to counter Bologna’s determined playstyle. The team will now look to recharge during the international break after a demanding month of fixtures.

The match began with a promising opportunity for the Rossoneri, as Scotti‘s right-footed attempt was saved by Bologna’s goalkeeper Happonen. Milan took an early lead following a corner opportunity, converted by Bonomi after a well-coordinated play involving Comotto and Duțu. This lead seemed to boost the players’ confidence with another near-miss from Grilli shortly thereafter, thwarted by Happonen’s timely intervention.

In a dramatic turn, Bologna equalized around the half-hour mark. Ebone scored from a scramble following a corner, quickly followed by Labedzki’s strike, which gave Bologna a 2-1 lead. Stalmach‘s shot from distance represented Milan’s last significant effort of the first half, but it was skillfully saved.

The second half saw Bologna intensify their attack. An early chance for Mangiameli went wide, but Milan responded with attempts from Bakoune and Scotti, though neither could beat Happonen. Milan’s pressure continued, yet Bologna sealed the win in the 87th minute when Markovic capitalized on Pittarella‘s free-kick delivery.

Looking ahead, AC Milan will face Cremonese on Saturday. So far, they have secured four wins, one draw, and two losses, reflecting an overall promising performance in the opening stages of the season. However, consistency remains a key target for Coach Guidi and his players as they aim to climb the league standings.
