Stuck in Bergamo: Milan finished 1:1 with Atalanta

by time news

Italian League 22-23

Game board

Milan haven’t lost an away game in Serie A since November last season, and it was very close to happening today. The champion looked not at her best, mostly tired in the front, and had a lot of difficulty getting into dangerous situations. Luckily they have Ismail Benasser, who found a gap in Atalanta’s great defense and found the back of the net, earning them a precious point. The game was broadcast on the ONE2 channel for HOT subscribers, YES subscribers, Cellcom TV subscribers and Partner TV subscribers.

Jean Piero Gasparini’s side played great in most phases of the game. Although she did not dominate the ball, her passing attacks were sharp and threatened Mike Mannan’s goal, especially in the first half. It also paid off big for her with a great goal by Ruslan Malinovski. After a minute of pressure on Manan’s goal, Joachim Maila found him free outside the box. The Ukrainian kicked a spinning ball that hit Pierre Kalolo and confused the French goalkeeper, who had to surrender.

The champion was stopped: Milan draw 1:1 in Bergamo

It was only in the second half that Milan reached their first dangerous situation, when the same Kalolo struck from the center of the box just over Juan Musso’s goal. The Algerian continued to be the main man in the midfield of the champions from Milan and managed to score the equalizer in the 68th minute. Substitute Alexis Selmaekers, who came on two minutes earlier, found the ball inside the box. He outplayed a defender and curled a great ball onto the crossbar and in.

The Milan side came close to finding the second goal when Origi got into a winking position in the box, but a great save from Brat Jimcity denied him his first official goal in Italy. The champion will look to return to the winning track in the next round against Bologna, Atalanta will go to Verona and will also try to leave with three points.
