This Serie A match between Bologna and AC Milan on 15 April 2023 ended in a stalemate with a scoreline of 1-1. Despite the even score, various statistical aspects of this match show that AC Milan were dominant in several areas, while Bologna held out their defense meritoriously throughout the game.

Starting early, at just 39 seconds into the match, Bologna drew first blood with a goal from Nicola Sansone assisted by Stefan Posch. Astonishingly, this was one of only two shots on target by Bologna in the entire match. Credit must be given to Milan's defense who restricted Bologna to so few direct opportunities to score.

AC Milan responded later in the first half with a goal from Tommaso Pobega. Notably, this was not a solitary shot as AC Milan had five shots on target. Their dominance in attacking was also evident in the number of shots off target, which totaled 14, showcasing that Milan was generating many opportunities, although they failed to convert most into meaningful scores.

Looking at disciplinary actions, AC Milan fell foul of the referee more often with four yellow cards as compared to Bologna's three. Notably, Tommaso Pobega earned himself a yellow card after scoring the equalizer for Milan, while Bologna's Stefan Posch also got booked after assisting the lone home goal.

Milan also led in corner kicks, earning 6 compared to Bologna's 2. Correspondingly, they were caught offside more often, a testament to their aggressive offensive approach. Yet, their discipline in sending off-target shots might need reviewing.

In terms of fouls, both teams were guilty, Milan with a higher count at 17 while Bologna committed 12, indicating a physical game from both ends. The intensity of the match led to a total of seven yellow cards, but fortunately, no player was sent off.

In conclusion, despite AC Milan's higher number of opportunities highlighted by more shots on target, off target, and corner kicks, the team's lack of precision in front of the goal and overzealous play gave Bologna an opportunity to secure a draw. Meanwhile, Bologna's defensive end held strong despite an onslaught from Milan, and they took their minimal chances to give themselves a point from this tough encounter.
