MILAN (AP) — Inter Milan midfielder Federico Dimarco celebrated his Serie A MVP award by scoring as the much-changed Nerazzurri drew their final game of the season 3-3 against Bologna on Saturday.
the match was of little importance Inter had already won the league title And even in the Italian Cup, Bologna had no chance of qualifying for Europe.
Inter coach Cristian Chivu gave the World Cup players – Hakan Calhanoglu, Manuel Akanji, Marcus Thuram and Denzel Dumfries – an extra week off, but the Argentina forward had just returned from injury and needed more playing time, so captain Lautaro Martínez started.
DiMarco, who was honored just before the game, opened the scoring with a stunning 25-yard free kick into the top right corner.
Federico Bernardeschi equalized just three minutes later, and Bologna took the lead just before half-time when Tommaso Pobega’s volley deflected twice.
Bologna have lost half of their previous games at home this season, but it looked like they were on the road to victory at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara when Inter midfielder Piotr Zielinski curled a cross into their own net early in the second half.
However, in the 64th minute, Pio Esposito narrowed the gap with a rebound after Andy Diouf’s shot bounced off the post. Diouf got himself on the scoresheet in the 86th inning.
Pedro’s Farewell
Pedro scored the winning goal in a 2-1 come-from-behind home victory over relegated Pisa, who bid farewell to Lazio.
The 38-year-old winger will leave Lazio after five years at the capital club. Pedro previously played for Barcelona, Chelsea and Roma and won numerous trophies, including the World Cup with Spain in 2010 and the European Championship two years later.
Lazio players wore a special commemorative patch on their shirts for his last game.
Pisa took the lead with a header from Stefano Moreo, but their lead didn’t last long as Lazio turned the game around with two goals in just a few minutes from Fisayo Dele-Basil and Pedro.
