Ravaglia’s heroics propel Bologna to victory over Inter in Italian Super Cup semi-final in Riyadh

RIYADH: It was a night of shared football culture in Riyadh on Friday as Inter Milan and Bologna met in the second semi-final of the 2025-26 Italian Super Cup.

The traveling Inter support brought with them their color, drums and constant noise, which blended with the enthusiasm of the Saudi Inter fans to create a lively atmosphere inside the stadium.

The match began at a blistering pace, with Inter taking the lead within two minutes when Marcus Thuram powered home from close range after meeting a quality cross from Alessandro Bastoni.

The side immediately pressed forward in search of a second, with Ange-Yoan Bonny going close in the fourth minute after feinting past Torbjorn Heggem, but he dragged his effort just wide of the post.
