Iran Press/ Europe: Stefano Pioli’s side had not tasted defeat to Bologna since 2016, and they were the side that opened the scoring in the 21st minute.
Rafael Leao latched onto Charles De Ketelaere’s through ball to finish well from inside the box with his right foot beyond Bologna goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski to score his first goal of the season.
The Rossoneri doubled their advantage thirteen minutes into the second half, as Leao became the provider. The winger chipped a ball into the box, which Olivier Giroud met on the stretch to volley home.
Bologna’s best chance came from a set-piece routine midway through the second half, as substitute Nicola Sansone saw his shot rattle the near post from a distance.
Stefano Pioli’s side comfortably saw the remainder of the game out to continue their unbeaten start to the new season.
