AC Milan vs Bologna ratings after Samuel Mbangula's hat-trick

Samuel Mbangula drove Bologna to a 4-2 win over AC Milan at AC Milan vs Bologna on 28 October 2026. Milan led 2-1 at half-time, then conceded three after the break as Mbangula scored a hat-trick and finished as the match's standout player.

Mbangula's deciding spell

Mbangula's three goals came at 8, 62 and 86 minutes. He also put three of his four shots on target, which fits the way this game tilted once Bologna started finding him in better areas after the interval.

His rating was 9.19, the highest on the pitch. Calciomercato.it called him "The standout performer in the Rossoblu victory was Mbangula, the scorer of a hat-trick." That was the shape of the night: one player kept making the decisive moments, while Milan's lead disappeared.

Milan's second-half problems

Davide Bartesaghi scored an own goal in the 60th minute and finished on 4.33, the lowest decisive-field rating among Milan starters. AC Milan also got two goals from Alphadjo Cissè, but his 8.29 rating could not cover the damage after the break.

The home side's own goals and individual highs did not stop the collapse. Calciomercato.it reported that Milan lost 2-4 at home against Bologna and fell clearly away from the top of the table given the victories of Lazio and Inter. The result leaves Milan with a costly defeat to absorb and Bologna with a win built around Mbangula's hat-trick.
