Bologna beat AC Milan 4-2 at San Siro on Oct. 28, with Samuel Mbangula scoring a hat trick in the clubs' Serie A meeting, according to ESPN data.

Bologna's victory was one of two four-goal performances across the five completed matches, with Napoli winning 4-1 at Monza. Genoa beat Juventus 2-0, while Internazionale won by the same score at Venezia.

Mbangula scored in the eighth, 62nd and 86th minutes for Bologna. Alphadjo Cissè scored both Milan goals, in the 14th and 27th minutes, while Davide Bartesaghi put through his own goal in the 60th.

Milan led 2-1 after Cissè's second goal and held that advantage until Bartesaghi's own goal brought Bologna level. Mbangula scored two minutes later to put the visitors ahead, then added their fourth.

The six goals at San Siro made it the highest-scoring match among the five completed games on Oct. 28. Bologna scored three of those goals after halftime, following Mbangula's opening goal before the break.

Napoli's 4-1 victory came at U-Power Stadium, where Rasmus Højlund scored in the 10th minute. Gustavo Varela answered with a header in the 43rd, leaving the teams level at the interval.

Matteo Politano scored in the 48th minute to restore Napoli's lead. Rafa Marín added a header in the 62nd before Kevin De Bruyne scored in the 67th to complete the scoring.

Napoli's three second-half goals followed the exchange of goals before halftime. The five-goal match was the day's second-highest scoring fixture, behind Bologna's victory over Milan.

Genoa scored both goals before halftime in their 2-0 victory over Juventus at Stadio Luigi Ferraris. Kingsley Ehizibue opened the scoring in the 12th minute, and Tommaso Baldanzi added the second in the 28th.

Those goals, 16 minutes apart, accounted for all the scoring in Genoa's home win. Juventus finished without a goal, one of four teams that failed to score in the completed matches.

Internazionale won 2-0 at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo through two Venezia own goals late in the match. Matías Moreno scored an own goal in the 79th minute, followed by Redouane Halhal in the 82nd.

The two own goals came three minutes apart and supplied the entire margin of Internazionale's victory. Venezia joined Juventus, Parma and Udinese in finishing the day without scoring.

Parma and Udinese drew 0-0 at Ennio Tardini on Oct. 28, the only draw among the five completed fixtures.
