ROME (AP) — For four months, Inter Milan had been pointing to its postponed match at Bologna as a chance to gain ground in the title race. Yet a goalkeeping blunder handed Bologna a 2-1 win Wednesday as Inter wasted a lead and a chance to reclaim the Serie A lead. For four months, Inter Milan had been pointing to its postponed match at Bologna as a chance to gain ground in the title race.

That is because they earned a draw and a victory over the course of the campaign. Milan are two points clear at the top now, but their advantage is technically three points, because they have the advantage in head-to-head record with Inter. Milan are now the Serie A leaders with a two-point lead, although it is technically three points, as they have a superior head-to-head record over Inter.

Inter Milan's second-choice goalkeeper, Ionut Radu, may have thrown away his side's chances of retaining the Serie A title with a mistake vs Bologna.

While someone tweeted: "Only his 5th game for Inter in 7 years and he might've gifted the title to their main rivals. Nicola Sansone nipped in and turned the goalward throw in to snatch the glory and the three points. The 24-year-old, making his first league start of the season, tried to make a pass with his left foot and scooped the ball towards his own net.

Inter Milan failed to claim top spot in Serie A on Wednesday after an incredible howler from reserve goalkeeper Ionut Radu consigned his team to a 2-1 ...

However first-half goals from Pablo Mari -- his first in Serie A -- and Gerard Deulofeu set up the 12th-placed away side for a thumping victory which was sealed with stoppage-time goals from Walace and Destiny Udogie. Marko Arnautovic continued his good form by levelling the scores for Bologna in the 28th minute and they went toe-to-toe with Inter until Radu handed the hosts a potentially title-deciding win. The evening's matches were three of the four not played in January following a spike in coronavirus cases across Serie A and Italy in general.

Inter Milan miss the chance to go top of Serie A as a howler gifts Bologna victory - putting AC Milan in control of the title race.

Goal! Bologna 2, Inter Milan 1. Danilo D'Ambrosio (Inter Milan) header from the centre of the box is blocked. Edin Dzeko (Inter Milan) header from the centre of the box is blocked. Lautaro Martínez (Inter Milan) header from very close range is blocked. Attempt blocked. The match was initially meant to be played in January but was called off amid farcical scenes.

Nicola Sansone's pressure on Radu appears to have had what might prove to be the biggest say yet in the destination of this year's Serie A title.

Inter had taken the lead from Perisic receiving a throw-in deep in the Bologna half. Not since the 1992-93 season had Inter and Milan been engaged in a title race between themselves. Denzel Dumfries found himself in on the right-hand side with a man advantage, but delayed and failed to find either the waiting Martinez or Joaquin Correa. Lautaro Martinez, who was dragging Bologna's back three of Gary Medel, Soumaoro and Arthur Theate all over the pitch with intelligent movement and direct runs, had a couple of early openings. Nicola Sansone's pressure on Radu appears to have had what might prove to be the biggest say yet in the destination of this year's Serie A title. Inter started like a team on a mission, with no intention of relinquishing their Scudetto crown to Milan anytime soon.

Watch the horror error by goalkeeper Ionut Radu which did serious damage to Inter Milan's bid to win the Serie A title.

This was only Radu's second appearance of the season. Inter were bossing the game in terms of possession and chances but self-destruction was waiting around the corner. After winning their previous five matches, Inter were expected to return to the top of the table on Wednesday night.

Inter choked away against Bologna losing 2-1 at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara and shifted the momentum in the Serie A title race to AC Milan. The Nerazzurri.

Inter – 5 : Inter might have probably given the Scudetto to their city rivals tonight. Joaquin Correa – 5: Did not start the game well and apart from a few cute touches nothing really went his way. Indecisive and timid on the ball. Tired as the game went on and could barely run at the end. Hakan Calhanoglu – 6: Looked great in the first half. Stefan De Vrij – 6: Started off the game very well and was thinking one step ahead.

A horrendous mistake from Inter Milangoalkeeper Ionut Radu saw the Italian giants lose 2-1 to Bologna - and potentially cost them the Serie A ti.

It is a two-horse race for the title, with Napoli and Juventus seven and eight points off the top, respectively. The 24-year-old goalkeeper was making his first league appearance of the season due to Samir Handanovic’s being injured and Radu may have cost his side the chance at winning back-to-back Scudettos. A horrendous mistake from Inter Milan goalkeeper Ionut Radu saw the Italian giants lose 2-1 to Bologna – and potentially cost them the Serie A title.

One of the worst goal keeping errors you'll ever see could cost Inter the title.

The Rossoneri now only depend on themselves and need 10 points in the next four matches to clinch it. Simone Inzaghi tried to make changes in the team and includes both Edin Dzeko and Alexis Sanchez, but Inter were not as dangerous as the coach had hoped. Elsewhere, AC Milan fans are cheering because this match makes the Rossoneri the Scudetto favorites with only four matches to go until the end of the season (catch all the Serie A action on Paramount+).

Reserve goalkeeper Ionut Radu was thrust into action for the first time in nearly a year following a back problem with Samir Handanovic and was to blame for Bologna’s winner. Yet a goalkeeping blunder handed Bologna a 2-1 win Wednesday as Inter wasted a lead and a chance to reclaim the Serie A lead. For four months, Inter Milan had been pointing to its postponed match at Bologna as a chance to gain ground in the title race.

INTER (3-5-2): Radu; Skriniar, de Vrij, Dimarco; Dumfries, Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, Perisic; Lautaro, Correa. First Half. With the lineup shakeup ...

D’Ambrosio - 6: Came on for Dimarco to try to sure up the defense. Other than that, he was participating in trying to break down Bologna for the second but was unable to. Milan will surely drop points in the run in but it will be up to Inter to be perfect from here on out, starting with an in-form Udinese away. de Vrij - 5: With the shorter Dimarco beside him, he sould have had the awareness to follow Arnautovic everywhere in the box. Instead, he scored and nearly had a second in the same fashion. Skriniar - 6: One of the few players that showed up. The slip heard ‘round the peninsula put Inter firmly into second place, praying for other teams to help them chase down Milan in the final matches. Inter needed a goal and applied tons of pressure throughout the second half. With the goal seemingly not coming, and Simone Inzaghi throwing on his other striking options in Edin Dzeko and Alexis Sanchez, a draw would have been an okay result. After the Bologna goal, Inter seemed to be the shocked team. A late Nicola Sansone goal given to him by the feet of backup goalkeeper Andrei Radu was enough to sink Inter, who are no longer in control of their own destiny and trail Milan by a point in the title race. For Inter, a horrendous pop up of injuries happened in the hours before kickoff.

Goalkeeper Ionut Radu dashed Inter Milan's Serie A title hopes, as his terrible mistake allowed Bologna to complete a 2-1 comeback victory in a rescheduled.

The fixture should have taken place in January, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bologna’s Nicola Sansone was on hand to tap in from close range, reports Xinhua. In a desperate bid for a win, Inter threw caution to the wind and poured forward, but to no avail.
