The two most fit teams in Serie A are holding back on each other. Between Milan and Atalanta ends 1-1 in San Siro, with Zapata who equalized the accounts in the 34th minute, twenty minutes after Calhanoglu's advantage, also remedying the penalty saved by Donnarumma in Malinovskyi. It is a point that does not allow the Bergamo players to stretch on Inter and leaves the Rossoneri in sixth place, -1 from Rome. The Europa League is assured for the Pioli team, but to avoid the three uncomfortable qualifying rounds they have to do full loot in the last two games with Sampdoria and Cagliari, hoping for a misstep by the Giallorossi.
Atalanta, on the other hand, must guard against Inter to defend second place and the direct clash on the last day of the championship will probably be decisive, even if Gasperini's men have arrived in Milan still convinced they can put fear at Juventus. Gomez confessed that he screamed more than for a goal of his own, that of Fofana with which Udinese defeated the leaders, but now one step away from the championship.
Pioli hoped for a victory to celebrate the renewal of the contract, and went close to him several times in the final, managing the changes without fear of unbalancing the team and raging for a contact in the area between Djimsiti and Ibrahimovic, not a penalty for Duties. Waiting for his future to be defined, the Swede has had a rather difficult evening, with the former Rossoneri Caldara ready to do the trick to contain him. With many absences, especially in defense, it is not a little for Milan to have contained only the Nerazzurri goal machine, now at -4 from 100 (Zapata and Muriel are the most productive couple in a single season in the history of the club, 18 goals to head).
Gasperini, disqualified, escaped from the stands, despairing for the third penalty missed by his this year at San Siro, after those against Inter and in the Champions League. The water bomb over Milan bequeaths a cool evening in which the teams immediately attack the game. Above all, Atalanta, who in the 14th minute was punished by Calhanoglu's poisonous free-kick (eighth goal in the league, the third in the last 4 games in which he also served 5 assists). Without the disqualified Hernandez, the injured Romagnoli and Conti and with Kjaer injured, the Rossoneri's defense holds up. But the trouble is combined by Biglia.
The first is a decomposed entrance into the area on Malinovskyi: in front of the video Doveri assigns the penalty (warning the Argentine, who risks the red), that the Ukrainian himself in the 26 'is made parry by Donnarumma (captain for one night), the fourth penalty neutralized in the season. The second mess of Biglia is the lost ball used by Freuler and Zapata, who takes advantage of a rebound, takes a position on Calabria and two steps puts the goalkeeper in the 34th minute. In the second half, Muriel's entrance is less noticeable than that of Leao and Bonaventura, who also hits a pole.
