The Coppa Italia was Bologna's first major trophy since 1974, and they had to rely on goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski to make crucial saves early in the game. Skorupski denied Milan's Luka Jovic twice, including a follow-up effort, to keep the scoreline goalless.

Bologna controlled possession in the first half, but Milan's goalkeeper Mike Maignan made three routine saves to keep the game tied. The two teams went into the break with no goals scored, a repeat of their previous match.

In the second half, Bologna broke the deadlock early, sparking jubilation among the fans. Ndoye collected the ball in the box and calmly scored with a right-footed shot, beating Milan's goalkeeper.

Milan made three substitutions, including Kyle Walker, Joao Felix, and Santiago Gimenez, but the fresh players struggled to make an impact. Bologna's defense held strong, limiting Milan to few scoring chances.

The match ended with Bologna winning their first major trophy in over 50 years, earning them a spot in the UEFA Europa League and Supercoppa Italiana next season. Milan, on the other hand, missed out on European football this season.

Bologna's coach Vincenzo Italiano celebrated his first major trophy as a manager, while Milan's players were left disappointed.
