The Atalanta had the option of being the sole leader of Series A temporarily after eight consecutive victories. To do this he had to get the ninth before the Milan. Nothing more said and done. With a little Ademola Lookman In the 87th minute he took the winner and took the lead while waiting for the team to do. Naples on Sunday. It should also be added that Inter, with one game less due to Bove’s accident, can match them on 34 points. Now another big challenge: beat Real Madrid in the Champions League next Tuesday.

The match poster was unparalleled and Gian Piero Gasperini’s team and Paulo Fonseca’s team put their cards on the table from the first hour. The first to warn the locals was Pasalic, who found a good response from Maignan in his shooting. This is a reminder that the law of the ex is there.
In the 7th minute, Álvaro Morata scored a great goal. In a move where he ran into space, he cleared his defenders and put it into the corner with his left, but he couldn’t get on the scoreboard due to offside. Morata and his eternal love affair with the ‘off side’.
The goal that goes up on the scoreboard is that of the young Belgian From Ketalaerethat he would say ‘Affirmative’ to the purpose of the first. He used his 1.93 m to rise above all at the far post and take advantage of the service with heavenly music from From there to head towards the goal (12′).
Milan, who didn’t play badly in the game but were behind the scoreboard, were a bit groggy. In this situation, the best thing is to use the plan that rarely fails: the Theo-Leão connection on the left. The Frenchman set it up in space for the Portuguese to run, who easily got past his defender with pace and found Álvaro Morata at the far post for the Spaniard to equalize (17′).
The match then entered a new phase, with both teams closing in on the spot without finding a final shot. Before the break, Pasalic culminated with a whip that was met with a ‘no’ response from Maignan. For the visitors, Loftus-Cheek had to come on the field for the injured Pulisic.
Milan make up for their lack of ambition
In the second half the cards of both teams changed. The game became increasingly stagnant and chances came in dribs and drabs. It should be noted that there is a big difference between both squads. While Milan decided to accept the tie, the ‘Dea’ did not give up on getting the win.
It was Lookman who worked hard, giving Emerson Royal a nightmare night, beating him repeatedly. Maignan released a spectacular missile. But as the canons dictate, he tries to the end and finds a reward. It was by taking advantage of a loose ball at the far post after a corner kick that he beat Royal’s back and with a header scored the goal that proved once again that Atalanta are serious in the league.
Retegui was on the verge of deciding a one-on-one, but the Italian international made a mistake and gave life to Milan, who did not know how to take advantage of it because in the last minutes he did not even wander into Carnesecchi’s place .
