Bologna beat AC Milan 1-0 in the Italian Cup final on Wednesday to end a 51-year trophy drought thanks to a second-half strike by Switzerland winger Dan Ndoye. The seven-time Italian champions last lifted silverware when they won the cup for the second time in 1974.

ROME — Bologna ended a 51-year wait for a major trophy when it beat AC Milan 1-0 to win the Italian Cup on Wednesday. Dan Ndoye returned from injury to score the only goal and help Bologna to its first Italian Cup since 1974. The club, which is owned by Canadian Joey Saputo, has only won two second-division titles in between.

The team coached by Vincenzo Italiano completed a remarkable run to the title, their first domestic cup since 1974
