Inter Milan could take advantage of the collapse of Lazio Rome Saturday against AC Milan (3-0) to approach second place in Serie A but the team of Antonio Conte has in turn heavily dropped Sunday by losing 2-1 at home against Bologna.
Once again, the weekend will finally have benefited especially Juventus, very solid leader and only team of the podium to have taken points, by beating the Torino 4-1 Saturday.
Eight days to go, Juve are now seven points ahead of Lazio and 11 over Inter. And the Milanese could even find themselves under the direct threat of Atalanta Bergamo, which will come back to a point only if they succeed in Cagliari in the evening (19:30).
Inter had however started the match well and opened the scoring by Lukaku (22nd), the author of his 20th goal of the season by taking a header from Lautaro Martinez pushed away by the post.
But Bologna made a remarkable match, and had already been dangerous by Orsolini, then with a shot on the post of Barrow.
Sinisa Mihajlovic's team then had to manage at 10 with the expulsion of Soriano. And when the referee whistled for a penalty in favor of Inter, the matter seemed to have been heard.
But Lautaro, in a crisis of confidence in front of the goal, hit him badly and the goalkeeper Skorupski rejected his shot. In the process, Milan defender Bastoni in turn received a red card and the game was balanced again.
And Bologna (9th) finished it very strong with two goals from their young Gambian attackers Juwara (18), equalizer (74th), then Barrow (21), who concluded in the 80th minute a superb action to offer three points to his team.
In addition to the Atalanta match, the end of this 30th day will be marked at 9.45 p.m. by the duel between Naples (7th) and AS Rome (5th).
