Mbangula's Masterclass: Samuel Mbangula was the hero for Bologna, scoring a hat-trick and earning a remarkable match rating of 9.7. Lewis Ferguson (7.8) and Jens Odgaard (7.5) were also key as Bologna generated 1.88 xG from 9 shots, with five on target, despite having just 34% possession.

Cissè's Brace Not Enough: Alphadjo Cissè was the standout performer for Milan, scoring twice and earning a match rating of 8.7. Fikayo Tomori (7.4) and Pervis Estupinán (6.9) also featured as Milan generated 1.71 xG from 8 shots, with three on target, but their defensive collapse after half-time proved costly.

Amorim's Nightmare: The defeat is Ruben Amorim's first in Serie A as Milan manager, and it raises serious questions about his side's defensive resilience. Milan's injury crisis — with eight players unavailable — was evident as they conceded four goals in a disastrous second half.
