Atalanta snatched victory from Milan in the last minute

In the 15th round match of the Italian Serie A, Atalanta faced Milan.

The first half was evenly contested, but it wouldn't be fair to say the hosts secured an undeserved victory. Following Ademola Lookman's goal at the end of the first half, the visitors responded moments later with a precise strike by Olivier Giroud, marking his eighth goal of the current season.

In the second half, Gasperini's side showed more determination in the opponents' half, striving for a win. Lookman secured a brace in the 55th minute, but with ten minutes remaining, Milan equalized once again. Serbian forward Luka Jović found the net for Milan for the second match in a row, assisted by Christian Pulisic. However, a few moments before the final whistle, the substitute Luis Muriel sealed the match.

Ultimately, the match ended in Atalanta's favor with a score of 3-2. Despite the late goal, Gasperini's side deserved this outcome as the expected goals (xG) coefficient for their team in this match amounted to 3.47.

Atalanta — Milan — 3:2

Lookman 38, 55, Muriel 90+5 — Giroud 45+3, Jović 80.

Red Card: Calabria 90+3.

Milan remained in third place but faces the risk of Roma catching up closer. Atalanta currently sits in seventh position in the league standings.
