Good evening and welcome to the Football Italia Liveblog for coverage of Tuesday night’s Serie A match between Inter and Bologna in San Siro.
Tonight’s match is a rearranged match, which was originally scheduled to be played in Week 19 at the start of the month, but was rearranged due to Inter’s commitments in the Supercoppa Italiana in Saudi Arabia.
Juventus were held to a 1-1 draw away against Atalanta last night, while Milan had to come from behind again to claim a 2-1 win away against Como.
Inter, meanwhile, can move within one point of Napoli at the top of the table with a victory this evening. Simone Inzaghi’s side will still have a game in hand over the Partenopei after the conclusion of tonight’s game.

Inzaghi: "Referees can make mistakes"
“The boys were a bit nervous and I didn’t want anything else to happen. The referees can make mistakes like tonight, or like in the Supercoppa final, but we have to have the utmost calmness. I didn’t want them to protest, I saw them get nervous following the Frattesi incident at the end and I wanted them to stay calm, because like us, referees can make mistakes.”

Inzaghi on whether tonight's draw helps Napoli
“We have to look at ourselves. We won six games that put us in an excellent position in the table, we drew the seventh after six wins and a draw with Napoli. Now we have to give something extra We have problems with rotations and the schedule, like everyone does, but we have to give more because every game in this league is very difficult.”

More from Inzaghi
“It’s normal to feel a bit bitter because we had chances to make it 3-2. But we played against a physical, organised team that took us to the end. We had two goals through excellent workmanship and situations where we could have done better.
“We were caught out from a throw-in for the second goal, then they got the ball in too easily. We have it back, a ball from Bastoni. There were two similar chances, they had skill, but we could have defended better. We’ve played lots of games where we’ve done well defensively, today we could have done better. Lots of respect for the opponent, though.”

Inzaghi's assessment
Speaking to DAZN after full-time, the Nerazzurri coach said: “Congratulations to Bologna, they were a difficult team to face. We played an excellent game, we fought by creating a lot and conceding the right amount. We should have positioned ourselves better for the second goal, but then we had a lot of chances to make it 3-2.
“We conceded an unlucky first goal and another from a rebound off one of our defenders. There is some regret that we didn’t grab the three points, but we have to respect the opponent. The team did what I wanted.”

Full-time: Inter 2-2 Bologna
An entertaining game for the neutral, but a draw that ultimately helps Antonio Conte and Napoli more than anyone.

Taremi doesn't get there!
Thuram is in disbelief. He does brilliantly to burst into the area from the right, provides a wonderful cross – it just needed a nick to go in, but Taremi, at full stretch, can’t get there.

Buchanan comes on to replace Bastoni – an attacking change for the Nerazzurri. The Canadian goes to left-wing-back, Carlos Augusto to the back three.

Taremi too heavy
Thuram slips a lovely ball in for Taremi, but the touch isn’t quite there and Lykogiannis intercepts to put it behind for a corner.

Goalscorer Holm comes off for Bologna, replaced by Silvestri.

Taremi involved in the action straight away, he tries to send a cross in for Carlos Augusto, but it is cut out.

Inter 2-2 Bologna - Emil Holm!
His first Bologna goal – Orsolini cuts it back in the area and the defender has space and time to line up a powerful effort on Sommer’s net. It takes a big deflection and nestles into the side netting for 2-2. Game on – if it wasn’t already!

Really end-to-end. Ndoye tries to twist and turn past Barella, but the Italian gets a heel to it and it goes out for a Rossoblu corner.
2025-01-15 21:08:11
62'
Dimarco takes the corner short, plays a one-two with Zielinski, but it goes straight back out for a goal-kick. Slightly embarrassing.

61'
Down at the other end, Lautaro tries to find the bottom corner from the edge of the area. Skorupski pushes it behind for a corner.
