AC Milan’s wait to lift to the Coppa Italia trophy will frustratingly continue.
The Rossoneri suffered a 1-0 defeat to Bologna on Wednesday, missing out on their final potential trophy lift of the season. U.S. men’s national team star Christian Pulisic started and played 88 minutes while Yunus Musah was an unused substitute in the match.
Dan Ndoye’s goal in the 53rd minute was all Bologna needed to win the match while goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski registered a two-save clean sheet. It marked Bologna’s first Coppa Italia triumph since 1974.
AC Milan struggled in the final third, which was the opposite in comparison to their recent 3-1 Serie A victory over Bologna. Pulisic scored once and added one assist in last Friday’s league showdown, but the 26-year-old was held in check on Wednesday.
The Rossoneri sit in eighth place in the Serie A table heading into their final two matches of the season. Sunday’s clash with sixth-place AS Roma could have a vital say on who gets into European competitions next season.
AC Milan will close the season on May 25 against Monza.
