[Sport] Pioli's Milan stop Atalanta and Juventus get even closer to 'Scudetto'

[#Steeven.™]

The two most in-form Serie A teams have faced each other at San Siro since the competition resumed: Milan by Pioli and Atalanta by Gasperini. The locals were looking for the seventh victory in the last ten games, and those of Bergamo were reunited with the victory after two consecutive draws. Finally, neither one thing nor the other.

Calhanoglu with a masterful free kick put Milan ahead and added his third goal in the last four games. But Zapata signed the tie 20 minutes later, scoring his 18th goal so far in the league.

Atalanta warned first in a game that started with many offensive alternatives. De Room drove to the front of the area and hit the ball violently, the shot went past the left post of the goal defended by Donnarumma. But Milan gradually began to take the weight of the game. Domain that was rewarded in the 14th minute of play. Calhanoglu superbly executed a direct free kick. The ball was placed on the right side of the area defended by Atalanta, which the Turkish midfielder put in the left corner of Gollini's goal, who perhaps could do more. After the goal, Milan had the second in Laxalt's boots. The winger, who replaced the sanctioned Theo, shot cross from the front, but Gollini, this time, did a great intervention.

However, Atalanta began to grow in the game, and in 24 ', Biglia committed an unnecessary penalty on Malinovski, VAR via. But the Ukrainian player himself failed against Donnarumma, who guessed and stopped the maximum penalty. What he could not stop was Zapata's shot in 33 '. The Colombian took advantage of a rejection after a shot by Freuler, to beat the young Italian goalkeeper and put the tie on the scoreboard.

Atalanta started much better after the restart. And the first clear had it within a quarter of an hour. Muriel, who entered the field to replace Malinovski, put a ball in the area that Papu impaled with a volley, and the ball passed very close to the left post. Pioli realized that his team lacked freshness, and gave way to Leao, Bonaventura and Krunic. The changes took effect. And in those, Bonaventura had the second in 73 '. A counter commanded by Leao ended up in the boots of the Italian, who crashed the ball into Atalanta's right post. However, the last leg of the match was from Atalanta. Those of Gasperini tried until the end, but the Milanese defense deactivated all the attempts of those of Bergamo to take the game. Draw and distribution of points, which serves to extend the streak of undefeated games for both: 10 adds Milan and 18 Atalanta.
