In the first half, Menion and Strapusky made wonderful saves, and the two teams exchanged a blank sheet. In the 53rd minute, Milan's defense line was cleared not far away, and Endoye broke the deadlock. In the end, Bologna defeated AC Milan 1-0, and while winning the Italian Cup, it also qualified for the UEFA Cup next season.

Milan missed the double championship in the season (previously won the Italian Super Cup), while Bologna won the Italian Cup again after 51 years, winning the third championship in team history.

[Focus of the match]

In the 11th minute, facing Jimenez's cross, Lukumi almost made an own goal. Strapusky made a magic pounce, and Jovic's shot was resolved by Strapusky again.

In the 53rd minute, Special O's tackled in the penalty area and the ball came to Endoye's feet. Endoye made continuous horizontal adjustments and scored.

[Excellent Moment]

In the 4th minute, Leo flicked and moved to the bottom line to make a cross, and A. Jimenez's shot was a bit outrageous. In the 7th minute, Bologna received a free kick in the frontcourt, and Castro failed to hit the ball. Menion reacted quickly and made a key save.

In the 25th minute, Bologna took a tactical corner kick, Milan's defense line leaked, Miranda suddenly made a cold arrow, but fortunately Menion focused.

In the 42nd minute, Ferguson flew away Leo, Leo rolled to the ground, and the referee showed Ferguson a yellow card. While Leo landed in the air, he touched Ferguson's face, and Ferguson was bleeding from his nose. In the 48th minute, Leo once again showed excellent personal ability. A series of fake moves broke the defensive cross, and the ball was blocked from the baseline. In the 68th minute, Reindez's cross was quite comfortable, and Felix's shot was a bit awkward, which was ridiculous.
