On Sunday, the Serie A derby between Milan and Atalanta took place at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The visitors struggled to contain Milan, who were largely in control of the game. The brightest moments of the game began as early as the 25th minute, when AC Milan opened the scoring thanks to a lucky goal in their own goal. The rest of the first half passed in an open, exciting struggle, with both sides going forward and creating chances, but neither side found the necessary quality in the last ball. Things heated up in the 28th minute when both sides received two yellow cards in a row.
The second half continued to be lively, with Atalanta continuing to look for opportunities to equalize and came close twice in the 58th and 65th minutes, but on both occasions they were thwarted by superb timely tackling. Despite their best efforts, AC Milan continued to dominate, pushing forward, and were able to put the game beyond doubt in the 86th minute thanks to a goal from summer signing Josip Mesias. After that, the game fell apart and the scoreboard was 2-0 in Milan's favor in regulation time. In an attempt to influence the final result, numerous substitutions were made on both sides. AC Milan made four substitutions, bringing on O. Giroud, Bosch Diaz, Rebic and Saelemakers, with the last substitution coming in the 89th minute, while Atalanta made all five, including Ederson, Lucman, Kupmeiners, Zappacosta and Scalvini. The game ended on a sour note in the 90th minute when Krunic received a yellow card, leaving the overall result unchanged as Milan won by two goals to nil.
