BOLOGNA - Inter made it seven wins in a row with a convincing 3-1 victory at Bologna's Stadio Dall'Ara in Week 9 of the 2012/13 Serie A.
Cambiasso's 27th-minute free kick found Ranocchia well placed to nod home at the far post, the defender becoming the ninth different Nerazzuri player on the score sheet this season. Milito celebrated his 100th league appearance for the club by scoring the second after the break: an easy finish wrapping up a lethal counter-attack that passed from Handanovic through Gargano and Palacio. Bologna halved the deficit when Cherubin headed in Diamanti's corner but Inter quickly restored their two-goal cushion as Cambiasso dinked over Agliardi following a neatly worked move involving Milito and Palacio.
Inter move up to second in the table on 21 points awaiting the result of tonight's fixture between Napoli and Chievo.
