Milan destroyed by one man! Mbangula scores stunning hat-trick in incredible Bologna comeback
An extraordinary upset has unfolded at San Siro! Belgian forward Samuel Mbangula produced a sensational hat-trick as Bologna overturned a deficit against AC Milan, stunning the home supporters in one of the most dramatic Serie A matches of the season.
Details: On October 28, Bologna led AC Milan 4-2 in the closing stages of their ninth-round Serie A encounter. The 22-year-old Mbangula scored three goals, striking in the 8th, 62nd and 86th minutes. His outstanding performance transformed the match and put Bologna in control after the visitors had trailed 2-1 at halftime. The hat-trick was confirmed by the live match commentary from t-online.
Mbangula opened the scoring after just eight minutes, finishing a move created by Nadir Zortea. Milan responded through Alphadjo Cissé, who equalised in the 14th minute and completed his double in the 27th. At halftime, Ruben Amorim's team appeared to be heading towards another important league victory.
Everything changed after the break. Davide Bartesaghi scored an unfortunate own goal in the 60th minute, bringing Bologna level. Two minutes later, Mbangula struck again following an assist from Juan Miranda. In the 86th minute, Jens Odgaard supplied the Belgian, who completed his hat-trick and extended Bologna's lead to 4-2.
It's worth noting that Milan entered the match unbeaten in Serie A and were considered clear favourites. Bologna, meanwhile, had struggled for consistency during the opening rounds. The visitors' remarkable comeback and Mbangula's individual brilliance have turned the match into a major talking point.
Reminder: Oh no! Inter leader injured and set to miss a month ahead of the Milan derby.
