Atalanta secured a remarkable 1-0 victory over Milan at the San Siro, significantly strengthening their chances of a place in the UEFA Champions League and completing the double over the Rossoneri in Serie A for the first time since the 2007/08 season.
Gian Piero Gasperini's team, who have endured a difficult period in late March and early April, showed tactical composure and maximum concentration in this important challenge. Although Milan had the initiative at the beginning of the second half with chances from Reijnders, Fofana and Leão, it was Atalanta who struck first, in a miraculous manner.
Ademola Lookman delivered a beautiful cross into the area, which Raoul Bellanova headed back into the centre, where Éderson made a spectacular dive to score the decisive goal. Lookman had the chance to double it at the end, but was stopped by goalkeeper Maignan.
Milan seemed powerless to react, with Tammy Abraham and Leão failing to find the touch in the final moments. This defeat leaves Sérgio Conceição's team in ninth place, with the Coppa Italia as their only hope for Europe. Meanwhile, Atalanta consolidates third place and confirms its positive form on the road, with only one defeat in its last 14 away matches (10 wins, 3 draws). (A2 Televizion)
