The full picture
Bologna beat Milan 4-2 at San Siro, with Samuel Mbangula scoring a hat-trick. Milan had taken a 2-1 lead with two goals from Cisse, but Bologna's second-half performance was described as 'worthy of the Arabian Nights'. The match marked Bologna's first win at San Siro against Milan in ten years.
Milan's defensive issues were highlighted by Zortea's two plays on the right side that led to Bologna's goals. Theate's hesitation on the ball allowed Cisse to score the equaliser for Milan. Bologna's players contributed to Milan's struggles, and Amorim's team was criticized for their absences and European commitments.
After Milan's substitutions, Bologna equalised and took the lead again, with Mbangula scoring his second goal. Milan responded with Cambiaghi narrowly missing the post, and Camarda coming close to scoring. Mbangula then scored his third goal, assisted by Odgaard, securing Bologna's victory.

Source context
Ten years later, Bologna beat Milan at San Siro, making them cry for the first time in this league campaign. The great protagonist was Samuel Mbangula, who scored three goals. And to think that until yesterday he had played only a handful of minutes since his arrival at Casteldebole. Milan had done well in the first half to overturn the Rossoblù's lead with two goals from Cisse, but in the second half Amorim and his men paid the price for their absences and commitments linked to Europe, although it is fair to point out that Bologna produced a second half worthy of the Arabian Nights, fully justifying the 4-2 scoreline and building on last Saturday's victory in Cagliari.
