Goal.com was on hand to witness proceedings at San Siro, as Inter were thwarted by an effective Bologna side, with Alberto Gilardino grabbing the goal and the headlines

    Juan Pablo Carrizo

    Made some good saves and without the debutant, Inter may well have suffered a great defeat. Whatever he did, he did effectively and without uncertainty.

  • Javier Adelmar  Zanetti

    Javier Adelmar Zanetti

    Drove well down the right side, getting forward at every given opportunity, on his milestone commemorative game. Made a great block in the second half to deny Bologna a second goal too.

  • Andrea Ranocchia

    Andrea Ranocchia

    Made a couple of characteristic mistakes in the first half, almost gifting Gabbiadini the chance to put Bologna ahead. Threatened in the opposition box in the later stages, but couldn't find a finishing touch.

  • Alvaro  Pereira

    Alvaro Pereira

    His usually stellar delivery down the left side was missing tonight, as he made more mistakes than anything else. A forgettable evening for the full-back.

  • Juan

    3.00

    Juan

    Didn't seem as shaky as in other matches, and went about his business relatively effectively. It was his partner who put the side in danger, not the young Brazilian.

  • Dejan Stankovic

    2.50

    Dejan Stankovic

    Struggled to dictate play as the Bologna midfield overran the home side at times. Worked hard but his effort wasn't to impact on the game.

  • Ezequiel Schelotto

    1.50

    Ezequiel Schelotto Flop of the Match

    Struggled to get his foot on the ball, caused no problems for Morleo in the first half whatsoever, and was rightfully substituted after a torrid evening.

  • Fredy Guarín
    0
    2
    1.50

    Fredy Guarín

    Saw plenty of the ball in the second half, but for the most part Morleo had the measure of the Colombian. Failed to test Curci or put any quality balls into the box.

  • Walter Gargano

    Walter Gargano

    A very poor performance, the tenacious midfield lost out to the Bologna midfield, who ran rings around him. He failed to break up play, or distribute the ball well.

  • Marco Benassi
    0
    2
    2.00

    Marco Benassi

    Struggled to impose himself in the first half, as he was relatively non-existent. Not as wasteful as his team-mates, but his substitution aided his side slightly.

  • Rodrigo Palacio
    0
    2
    2.50

    Rodrigo Palacio

    The Argentine was isolated in the first half, and didn't enjoy his best game. Luck didn't seem to be on his side at all, as he failed to truly test Curci throughout the 90 minutes.

Substitutions

  • Mateo Kovačić

    2.50

    Mateo Kovačić

    Enjoyed greater success than Gargano, picking up a couple of loose balls and attempted a couple of useful crosses too. Definitely not the worst showing from the youngster.

  • Esteban Matias Cambiasso

    Esteban Matias Cambiasso

    Unfortunate not to get on the scoresheet, as the Bologna defence had to be on top form to deny the Argentine on several occasions. On another night, Cambiasso could have walked away with a hat-trick.

  • Antonio  Cassano

    3.50

    Antonio Cassano

    Added the creative spark which Inter were badly missing in the first half, and put some good quality balls into the box throughout the second. Denied the equaliser by a great challenge from Naldo.

  • Gianluca Curci
    2
    0
    3.50

    Gianluca Curci

    Made some good saves to deny Inter in the later stages of the game, but looked extremely uneasy when claiming set pieces or crosses, almost throwing away his side's hard-earned lead in the process.

  • Archimede Morleo

    3.00

    Archimede Morleo

    Worked tirelessly throughout, shutting out Schelotto in the first half, before being exerted a little more against Guarin. Did well on the whole, preventing a great deal of Inter crosses.

  • Mikael Antonsson

    3.50

    Mikael Antonsson

    Performed his defensive duties well, as Palacio was isolated effectively in the first half, before acting as a helping hand as Bologna shut out Inter in the later stages.

  • Gyorgy Garics

    3.50

    Gyorgy Garics

    Did well until the final 15 minutes of the game, when Pereira began to have free reign of the left flank. Made a very important interception to deny Cambiasso a chance of equalising.

  • Frederik Sorensen
    3
    0
    3.00

    Frederik Sorensen

    Dominated Palacio in the first half, staying very tight to the Argentine throughout, and making some important interceptions. Picked up a knock in the first half and was substituted at the break.

  • Saphir Taider

    3.00

    Saphir Taider

    Broke up play well and then moved the ball around quickly, displaying decent distribution. Vital cog in the midfield, who didn't allow Inter a moment on the ball.

  • Diego Pérez

    3.50

    Diego Pérez

    Battled well, acting as an effective shield in front of the Bologna defence, before being substituted late in the game. Very competitive in the centre of midfield.

  • Lazaros Christodoulopoulos

    2.50

    Lazaros Christodoulopoulos

    Full of running, but sometimes lacking the technical ability of some of his team-mates. Generally a hard-working and effective performance.

  • Alberto Gilardino

    4.00

    Alberto Gilardino Top of the Match

    Took his goal extremely well, volleying home from eight yards out, leaving Carrizo with absolutely no chance whatsoever. Worked hard but had to be replaced for fresh legs at the 60-minute mark.

  • Manolo Gabbiadini
    1

    2.50

    Manolo Gabbiadini

    Was unfortunate not to score in the first half, as the ball fell to him several times in good areas. Held the ball up well, delivered some good balls, but couldn't seem to score.

  • Alessandro Diamanti

    0
    3.00

    Alessandro Diamanti

    Dictated the play for the away side in the first half with driving runs and crisp passing, as well as whipping in dangerous free kicks. He was the visitor's creative spark throughout, although he tired a little late in the game.

Substitutions

  • Naldo

    3.50

    Naldo

    Made a very important block to deny Cassano after coming on at half-time, which kept his side in the game.

  • Rene Krhin

    3.00

    Rene Krhin

    Was unfortunate to see his goal-bound header beaten away by Carrizo, and made some other good aerial wins to keep the home side at bay.

  • Tiberio Guarente

    Tiberio Guarente

    Battled well after being thrown into the mix, aiding his side's attempts to thwart Inter as they pressed forward in the final 10 minutes.
