Match report: Milan 1 - Bologna 0
- Goals scored: Seedorf 75'
- Bologna's game plan: To send no players into Milan's half of the field; to play defense and only defense; to achieve a 0-0 draw.
- How Bologna's game plan worked: Quite well, except for one brief moment late in the second half when they actually sent players forward to try to score. Milan immediately scored on the counter-attack.
- Number of Milan players who hit the goal post: 2 (Pato and Inzaghi)
- Number of Milan players who found themselves with the ball, unmarked, eight feet away from goal with no goalie in sight but who managed to shoot the ball well over the crossbar: 1 (Gattuso)
- How Clarence Seedorf finally scored: Seedorf got the ball. He ran at the defender. Then he ran around the defender. After that, Seedorf ran at the goalie. Finally he kicked the ball past the goalie and into the net.
- Last time before today that Milan scored a goal in Serie A play: August 22, 2009
- Photo I wish I could find: Bologna's Nicola Mingazzini playing most of today's match with his head bandaged.
- What this match teaches us: Only the very young or the very old can score for Milan this season.
