Inter Milan's winning streak in Serie A ended with a 2-2 draw against Bologna. Emil Holm's goal halted Simone Inzaghi's side after six consecutive victories. Bologna started strong, with Yann Sommer making an early save from Nikola Moro. Santiago Castro then gave Bologna a surprising lead by deflecting the ball into the net.

Inter quickly responded, equalising within four minutes. Denzel Dumfries capitalised on a rebound after Lukasz Skorupski saved Federico Dimarco's powerful shot. Sommer kept Inter level with another crucial save from Jens Odgaard before Lautaro Martinez put them ahead in first-half stoppage time with a stunning shot.

Holm levelled the score for Bologna in the 64th minute, his low shot deflecting off Nicolo Barella and finding the net. Despite Inter's late efforts to secure a win, they couldn't break through Bologna's defence again. Inter remain second in Serie A with 44 points, three behind leaders Napoli but with a game in hand.

Bologna, meanwhile, are eighth with 30 points. The draw was well-earned for Bologna, who have set a new club record by collecting 16 points from their first 10 away games this season in Serie A.

Despite the draw, Inter have maintained an impressive scoring run at home. They have scored in each of their last 32 Serie A home matches, only once surpassing this streak between August 2005 and October 2008 when they scored in 60 consecutive games.

This season, however, has seen Inter concede more goals at San Siro than last year. Holm’s goal marked the twelfth conceded at home this term, already surpassing last season’s total.

The match highlighted both teams' strengths and weaknesses. While Inter showed resilience to come back from behind, their defensive vulnerabilities were evident. Bologna capitalised on these lapses to earn a valuable point away from home.
