Bologna Vs. AC Milan, 2011 Serie A: Halftime, All Square In An Open Match
But then an odd thing happened: the rossoblu broke forward and, looking almost confused, although that didn't stop Alessandro Diamanti from sending a lovely through-ball on to Marco Di Vaio. Di Vaio was miles ahead of any Milan defenders, going one on one with Marco Amelia. Amelia came rushing out to block, but Di Vaio looped the ball over the sliding keeper and into the top of the net.
Despite the excitement in Bologna, it was nearly inevitable that an equalizer would occur, likely sooner rather than later. Sure enough, just six minutes later, Kevin-Prince Boateng sent the ball in to Clarence Seedorf, who unleashed a rocket that flew into the top corner, leaving Jean Francois Gillet with no chance, although his acrobatic leap was still rather impressive.
Just a minute before the whistle blew for halftime, the home side had a legitimate appeal for a penalty, when Clarence Seedorf handled the ball inside the area. Nothing doing from the referee, prompting the Bologna players to surround him in appeal. All that resulted from their efforts was a yellow card for Panagiotis Kone.
1-1 at halftime, but with no score between Udinese and Chievo Verona, the chances of Milan allowing the chance to gain ground in the table are quite slim, indeed.
