AC Milan secure against Bologna thanks to Leao and Giroud

AC Milan secured a fairly quiet evening against Bologna (2-0) on Saturday during the third day of Serie A thanks to the first goals of the season from Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud. The Rossoneri ran into an enterprising Bologna side but were able to make the difference quickly enough, relying on the legs of Rafael Leao and the goalscoring instinct of Olivier Giroud.

The Portuguese, a little disappointing during the first two days against Udinese (4-2) and Atalanta (1-1), opened the scoring with a flat foot (21st), at the end of a counter express initiated by an attractive Charles de Ketelaere for his first tenure. Leao should have put a second before the break but this time lost his duel (45 + 1st). However, he was forgiven for the recovery by offering Giroud a goal ball converted acrobatically with the toe by the French (58th).

Like Leao, the former Montpellier and Chelsea striker opened his counter during this season, where he did not give up playing the World Cup with the Blues despite the offensive wealth available to Didier Deschamps. With this logical victory, Milan remains in the lead with Lazio, Torino and Roma (all 7 points), while waiting for Naples (6 pts) who will try to take the lead alone on Sunday evening, in case of success at the Fiorentina.
