It’s chaos for AC Milan! It’s not a Happy New Year 2016 for Milan starting the year with a defeat at the San Siro Stadium. Bologna causing an upset to claim the victory. What makes it even a painful defeat is that it is the ex AC Milan player Roberto Donadoni now coaching Bologna to give a headache to his ex team. Simply put, Milan fans protesting and demanding changes.
A precious victory for Bologna seeing their chances for salvation closer.
It is Bologna forward Emanuele Giaccherini to score the only goal of the match and enough to win the game. The goal arriving in the 82nd minute with Giaccherini defeating AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with a right footed shot in the center. The assist is by Anthony Mounier.
