AC Milan and Bologna Draw 2-2 in Historic Match with Missed Penalties by French Internationals Giroud and Hernandez

During the draw between AC Milan and Bologna (2-2), Saturday evening in Serie A, French internationals Olivier Giroud and Théo Hernandez made history by each missing a penalty!

Bad deal forAC Milan, who shared the points with Thiago Motta’s Bologna during the shock of the 22nd day of Serie A, Saturday evening at San Siro (2-2). The Rossoneri miss the opportunity to come back to within four points of Juventus, who were caught earlier in the day and who are the current leader in the standings (pending Inter’s meeting against Fiorentina on Sunday).

The meeting was quite incredible because the Lombard team missed two penalties, which is a first since… 1955! Even more historic: these are two French internationals who failed to convert their penalty kick, Olivier Giroud before half-time (42nd) and Théo Hernandez a quarter of an hour from the end of the match (74th), his center forward teammate having left in the 60th minute.

It was Ruben Loftus-Cheek who saved Stefano Pioli’s team. He equalized with a nice header before half-time (45th) while Joshua Zirkzee had deceived Mike Maignan between his legs (29th). The English international then gave Milan the advantage as the end of the match approached (83rd), but the Bolognese (and not Bologna) snatched a point on a penalty converted by Riccardo Orsolini (92nd).
