BOLOGNA, Italy (Reuters) -Runaway Serie A leaders Inter Milan continued their march towards the title as a first-half goal by Yann Bisseck sealed a 1-0 victory over Bologna on Saturday.
Inter moved on to 75 points and an 18-point lead over second-placed Juventus, who host Atalanta on Sunday. Bologna are fourth on 51 points after 28 games.
Simone Inzaghi’s Inter have won all 13 competitive matches this year and suffered only one league loss all season.
Inter broke the deadlock after 37 minutes through Bisseck’s well-timed diving header from Alessandro Bastoni’s precise cross.
Taking advantage of a defensive error at a rainy Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, Inter’s Nicolo Barella had the first chance of the match, but his one-on-one attempt was saved by keeper Lukasz Skorupski.
Bologna, who had won six Serie A matches in a row, dominated the second half but failed to find the net and Inter hung on despite an injury to striker Marko Arnautovic who had to leave the field for treatment.
