Musou’s own goal unlocks the score
A violent start to the game for Milan, immediately dangerous in the first few minutes first with a free kick from the high edge of Tonali and then with a left foot from the center of the area via Gouraud which always ends above the crossbar. Milan had the ball for a long time, looking for a hole in Bergamo’s defense. The Gasperini boys defend well and when they can, they try to unleash the speed of Lookman and Hoglund to scare off the Rossoneri rearguard. In the 25th minute, Milan went through thanks to a fine left-footed shot from outside the penalty area Theo Hernandez It crashed first against the post and then on the back Moso before it ends up on the net. The Argentine goalkeeper was unlucky, but the French winger’s technical gesture was sensational.
In the second half Messias doubles
Atalanta try to fight back, but leave room for Milan’s counter-attack with Leao almost doubling them at the end of the half hour. At the start of the second half, Atalanta tried to raise their center of gravity to push Milan into their own half. However, Gasperini’s side could not find openings in the mobile and alert Rossoneri defence. In this sense, Tonali’s work of regression in the central area is key. So on the counterattack, Milan still came close to doubling on two occasions: the first with Jerrod then with Liao. Either way, the great Moso keeps Atalanta alive. The Argentine goalkeeper also repeats himself on Messias, a few moments after Boga entered the ranks of Europeans instead of Ederson to give more vitality to the offensive maneuver. Also out for Morel’s Lookman. Twenty from the end, two more occasions on Milan’s counter-attack failed: the first with Leao, who forcefully fired an easy support in front of goal after a pass from the left from Tonali, and the second with Messias who, a stone’s throw from Musso takes a corner from a pass from Leao. With just over a quarter of an hour to go, Pioli sends into the field Dee Kettleery Instead of Diaz and above all ibrahimovic for Gyro. The Swede is excited and immediately tries to show off, which upsets the goddess’s defenders. The team is following him and it is no coincidence that the deserved double came in the 86th minute Messias, with a delicious touch underneath to get past Musso with a deep assist from Leao. It’s the knockout blow that stuns Atlanta. San Siro explodes, leaving a new evening of celebration.
