BOLOGNA, Italy (AP) — AC Milan squandered a first-half advantage in a 2-1 loss at Bologna in a rescheduled Serie A match Thursday and fell further into crisis.
The defeat follows elimination from the Champions League and a loss to Torino last weekend.
Milan dropped to eighth place while Bologna moved up to sixth.
After Rafael Leao’s opener for Milan, Santiago Castro equalized after the break following a free kick that bounced around inside the area. Then Dan Ndoye took advantage of poor defending to score the winner eight minutes from time by redirecting in a cross.
It was the first time that Bologna beat Milan at home in a league match since 2002.
The match was postponed from October due to flooding in the Emilia-Romagna region. Half of the proceeds from the match went to flood victims.
