Inter Milan were held to a 2-2 home draw by Bologna in Serie A on Wednesday (Jan 15), with the visitors snapping Simone Inzaghi's side's six-game winning run. The result meant the defending champions failed to go within a point of leaders Napoli, although Inter, now three points back, do have a game in hand over their rivals.
Inter Milan stumbled in the Serie A title race as they were held to a battling draw at home by mid-table Bologna.
Bologna opened the scoring through Santiago Castro in the 15th minute before Denzel Dumfries equalised with a rebounded effort four minutes later.
Inter took a deserved lead just before half-time through talisman Lautaro Martinez's close-range finish. But Bologna hit back in the second half and levelled with defender Emil Holm's deflected shot after 64 minutes, and Inter were unable to find a late winner.
Inter, who last week lost the Italian Super Cup final against AC Milan, remained second in the standings on 44 points, and trail leaders Napoli by three points.
They still have a game in hand after their December fixture at Fiorentina was suspended when midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed before undergoing heart surgery.
Champions League side Bologna, also with a game in hand, are eighth on 30 points.
Inter last dropped points in the league when they were held to a 1-1 home draw by Napoli on Nov 10.
