Bologna beats Inter Milan on penalties to qualify for Italian Super Cup final
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) --- Bologna will meet Napoli in next week's Italian
Super Cup final after beating Inter Milan 3-2 on penalties following a
tight-fought 1-1 draw in Saudi Arabia on Friday.
Ciro Immobile scored the deciding spot kick for Super Cup debutant Bologna
after Alessandro Bastoni, Nicolo Barella and Ange-Yoan Bonny all missed for
Inter.
Lews Ferguson and Jonathan Rowe also scored for Bologna, while Lautaro Martinez
and Stefan de Vrij converted for Inter.
The result means Bologna will play Napoli on Monday in Riyadh. Serie A champion
Napoli beat AC Milan 2-0 in the first semifinal on Thursday.
The Italian Super Cup is played between the winners and runners-up of last
season's Serie A and Italian Cup, with all the games in Saudi Arabia.
Inter took the lead after just 70 seconds at Al-Awwal Park Stadium in Riyadh.
Bastoni drove forward before crossing to the far post where Marcus Thuram
volleyed home spectacularly.
Bologna got back on level terms 10 minutes before halftime through Riccardo
Orsolini. The former Juventus winger scored from the penalty spot after Yann
Bisseck was adjudged to have handled.
Both sides had chances to win in regulation time but profligate finishing and
good goalkeeping sent the game to penalties.
