AC Milan, with all holders on the bench three days before the Champions League quarter-final return to Naples, continued to dawdle in Serie A with a draw (1-1) in Bologna on Saturday in the 30th daytime.
The Rossoneri, winners of only one of their last six league matches, can be dislodged from fourth place, the last qualifier for the next C1, by Inter Milan (5th), which receives Monza in the evening.
The team of substitutes aligned by Stefano Pioli, with the only Mike Maignan kept in the cage and ten new outfield players compared to the winners of Naples (1-0) Wednesday in C1, cracked after 30 seconds against Bologna (8th) dreaming of Europe by Thiago Motta.
Nicolo Sansone beat Pierre Kalulu to open the scoring on the first cross of the match (1st).
The Italian champions immediately reacted and requested Lukasz Skorupski on a header from Ante Rebic (20th) then a free kick from Alessandro Florenzi (22nd).
Tommaso Pobega, one of the most prominent Rossoneri, quite logically equalized with a powerful shot from the left after a rough dismissal from the Bolognese defense (40th).
Facing an enterprising Bologna, Stefano Pioli tried to shake off his Milan, which fell into a false rhythm in the second half by launching Rafael Leao and Brahim Diaz (70th).
The Milanese then changed tempo and pushed but without success, like the failure of Ante Rebic (74th), the counter attempt of Pobega (75th) or the shot above Diaz (84th). The head was probably already a little in Naples, where a possible ticket for the last four of the C1 awaits him on Tuesday.
