Milan get there first victory of the new season, well it wasn't as comfortable as the score line suggest. Coach Allegri decided to go with formation the 4-3-1-2 rather than 4-3-3 which he used against Sampdoria. Milan started better and got a controversial penalty when Nicolo Cherubin dragged down Pazzini, who made the most of his fall. Pazzini then stepped upto take the penalty and gave Milan the lead. The home team then got into the game and started to dominate with captain Diamanti in super form. Montolivo was unable to continue due to hamstring ingury and was subbed 4 minutes before the end of first half and was replaced by new signing De Jong. After few second's of his debute Milan conceded a penalty when Acquafresca was caught in front of Nocerino and fall. Diamanti stepped up and sent Christian Abbiati the wrong way to draw his side level. The second half started well for the home team but Milan was getting back into the game with both the side-backs Antonini and De Sciglio bombing forward and helping in attack. Boetang also looked dangerous. Mialn then introduced Bojan who really did well compared to El Shaarawy who didn't had a good game. Bojan made some clever runs and made the defense of Bologna work much more. Then in the 77 minute Milan got there second goal after horrendous error from Bologna goalkeeper Agliardi. Antonini's cross from the left looped up in the air off Motta and was fumbled by the home goalkeeper, allowing Pazzini to fire home the loose ball from close range. Pazzini then scored his third goal in the 85 minute when he deftly flicked in Nocerino's low shot. Milan after that looked comfortable in keeping the possession of the ball for last 5 minutes and eventully winning the match 3-1. Pazzini was easily the man of the match of the match with his hat-trick, also which would boost his confidence also of the Milan fans. Acerbi also had a great game really looked strong in defense and also made some good play from behind. With this win Milan would gain a lot of confidence and a lot of positives should be taken.
