Inter was frustrated on Saturday because despite jumping out to a two-goal lead against Bologna, they were unable to hold off their opponents at San Siro and ultimately had to settle for a draw that put them in first place in Serie A going into the day's later games. Riccardo Orsolini and Joshua Zirkzee scored to pull Inter back after goals from Francesco Acerbi and Lautaro Martinez for Inter.
Bologna rallied to earn a draw in Serie A at the San Siro after Inter lost an early two-goal lead. After 11 minutes, Hakan Calhanoglu's corner was met by Francesco Acerbi, who headed the ball inside the near post. It was compounded shortly after when Marcus Thuram set up Lautaro Martinez to beat Lukasz Skorupski with a powerful effort. After a VAR review, Martinez was fined for taking down Lewis Ferguson as a corner entered the box, which provided Bologna with a lifeline. Riccardo Orsolini was flawless right there.
