Result Bologna – Inter, Friday 19 December 2025, Super Coppa Italiana
Italian Super Cup Semifinal
🏆🇮🇹👉 What a night to remember for Bologna! On Friday, December 19, 2025, Bologna triumphed over Inter in the Italian Super Cup Semifinal held at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Under the guidance of Vincenzo Italiano, Bologna secured victory through penalties against Cristian Chivu’s Inter, following a 1-1 tie in regular time, with goals scored by Marcus Thuram and Riccardo Orsolini (who converted a penalty). A penalty that was initially given to Inter in the second half was revoked after a VAR review. Thanks to their dedication and determination, Bologna has clinched a spot in the final against Antonio Conte’s Napoli. Ciro Immobile converted the winning penalty.
This match marks Bologna’s debut in the Italian Super Cup. It’s a significant challenge, as only two out of the last eight teams have won their first match in this tournament (with six losses). That is, Lazio on August 29, 1998, against Juventus (2-1) and Fiorentina on August 25, 1996, against Milan (2-1).

Stats BEFORE the game
Bologna has managed to stay unbeaten in five of their last six encounters with Inter across all competitions (3 wins, 2 draws); however, the Milanese side has claimed victory in 11 of the previous 16 official matches against the Emilian team (2 draws, 3 losses).
Following their 1-0 win in the latest match on April 20th in Serie A, Bologna has the chance to secure at least two consecutive wins against Inter across all competitions for the first time since the period between May and November 1999 (when they achieved three wins). During that time, the Rossoblù won both legs of the 1999/2000 Serie A playoff for a spot in the UEFA Cup, as well as the following league match.
In terms of all competitions, Bologna and Inter will meet on neutral ground for the second time in their history, following the playoff to determine the 1963/64 Serie A Scudetto: in that instance, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the Rossoblù emerged victorious with a score of 2-0 (thanks to an own goal by Facchetti and a goal from Nielsen), marking the most recent of the seven titles claimed by the Bolognese team in the top division.
