Source context
Mike Maignan has claimed that AC Milan had a plan for the defeat against Bologna, but they did not manage to deploy it properly. It was an entertaining game at San Siro on Wednesday night, although the fact the stadium was half-empty by the final few minutes spoke volumes about why Milanisti might not consider it a particularly memorable one. Samuel Mbangula was the star of the show for Bologna, as he gave them the lead and then scored twice in the second half to register a hat-trick. Alphadjo Cisse had put Milan 2-1 up from 1-0 down, but the second-half collapse from the Rossoneri was worrying. Maignan spoke after his coach Ruben Amorim to DAZN following the conclusion of what was a negative San Siro evening for the captain and his team-mates.
