Milan’s Cristian Zapata is relieved after his side’s ‘important’ 2-1 win at Bologna maintained their hopes of Europa League qualification.
The Rossoneri were two goals up at half-time and, although Sebastien De Maio’s goal made for a nervy ending, they held on for their first win in seven matches.
“It was a very difficult match. We were good in the first half, we could have scored more goals,” Zapata, whose team are seventh with three matches of the season remaining, reflected.

“It was a very difficult match. We were good in the first half, we could have scored more goals,” Zapata, whose team are seventh with three matches of the season remaining, reflected.
“We were made to stay focused. It’s a very important win, given that we hadn’t won for some time.
“We need to improve, we had our chances. We need to work harder in order to finish off these games earlier.”
The Colombian defender admitted that Milan’s recent run of form has been ‘difficult.’
“I think we have had a difficult run, we are tired. Now, we need to go for it in the last three matches.
“We need to go for it with Atalanta.”
