Inter Milan continue dominance in Serie A with 1-0 win

Inter Milan take their dominant streak in 2024 forward with a 1-0 victory against Bologna, widening their lead to 18 points atop Serie A

Inter Milan continued its impressive run in 2024 with a 1-0 win at Bologna on Saturday, moving 18 points clear at the top of Serie A. However, it lost Marko Arnautović to another serious-looking injury.

Yann Bisseck’s first-half goal was enough to see Simone Inzaghi’s team extend its massive advantage over second-place Juventus, which hosts Atalanta on Sunday.

There are 10 games left after this round.

Inter has won all 13 matches this year in Serie A, the Italian Super Cup, and the Champions League.

However, Bologna had also been in impressive form, winning its past six matches, including beating Atalanta last weekend to consolidate fourth place.

It was also the last team to beat Inter in the Italian Cup on Dec. 20.

Star Inter forward Lautaro Martínez was given a rare rest ahead of the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 on Wednesday, with the Nerazzurri traveling to Atletico Madrid with a 1-0 lead.

Arnautovic scored the winning goal in the first leg, but the former Bologna forward limped off at the end of Saturday’s match against his old team with an apparent hamstring injury.

He had already missed two months of the season through injury.

Inter broke the deadlock in the 37th minute when Alessandro Bastoni whipped in a fantastic cross from the left for a flying header by Bisseck at the back post.

Bologna came out aggressively at the start of the second half, and Stefan Posch, Lewis Ferguson and Joshua Zirkzee all went close.
