In the first match of the day's game in Serie A convalescent Atalanta took Milan Inter, leading the fight against Napoli for second place. Luciano Spalletti decided to leave de Vray and Nainggolan on the bench, without which the team had a very difficult time, especially with regard to the defensive line, over which the bergamsk was mocked, to put it mildly.
Immediately after the starting whistle, the wards of Gian Piero Gasperini took the ball under control, occupying another half of the field, Inter looked like a team of amateurs. The first dangerous moment arose already in the 4th minute - Zapata struck a powerful blow to the far corner, which pulled Handanovich, and then Samir coped with finishing moves from Khatebur, but the likely goal would still not be counted because. “The Goddess” continued to bend her line and still achieved her goal - in the 8th minute, Gosens shot the far post on a free Khatebourg, and the Netherlands threw the ball into the empty net - 1: 0.
Within two minutes, the hosts nearly doubled their advantage when D'Ambrosio cut the ball into his own net, but the bar came to Inter's help.. At this cascade of moments at the gates of Handanovich did not end, Ilicic struck in touch after the pass of Sapata, but the ball did not fly into the goal thanks to the rescue of Handanovich. Over time, the Milanese leveled the game and even moved to another half of the field, but this pleasure was short-lived, soon the bergamsk players again went on the attack to destroy the opponent's defense.
In one of the episodes of Zapat laid out the ball Ilicic, but the Slovenian could not properly hit the ball, which rolled near the bar. For a while, the dangerous moments at the gates of the Spalletti team stopped, but towards the end of the first half they returned. At first Ikardi presented the ball to Ilychich in the center of the field, Josip led Zapatu to the operational space, Duvan pulled the ball and shot into the near corner, after which the ball hit the net from the outside. Before leaving for a break, the “goddess” created three more dangerous moments, but she didn’t realize them either - Handanovich saved his team after the strikes of Ilicic and Toloy from close range, and Mancini’s head was not accurate enough. Thus, the teams went to the locker rooms with the minimum advantage of Atalanta, and therefore Inter had to be very happy, because he had to lose not one ball, but at least five.
The second half of the meeting began as badly as possible for the Bergaskans, who brought a penalty kick to their gates in the very first minute, Icardi approached the ball and confidently realized a penalty kick - 1: 1. After a missed goal, the “goddess” did not immediately come to her senses, allowing the opponent to control the ball in another side of the field, but over time everything returned to normal and Atalanta stepped forward again - in the 62nd minute Gomez played a free kick with Ilicic, Josip gave exactly Mancini's head, who sent the ball into the goal - 2: 1.
After that, the teams took turns possessing the ball, despite the guests' attempts to put pressure on the possession of Berisha, they did not succeed, not a single dangerous moment was created. But Gasperini’s wards were still good ahead and in the end of the bout they managed to spend another couple of deserved goals - first in the 88th minute Jimschi closed Ilychich’s submission from the penalty area, and in compensated time Gomez put a fat kidney in an awesome stroke. reporting match - 4: 1. Bergamaski had a terrific match with “snakes”, which won a well-deserved victory, which became their fourth in a row, but Inter broke his winning streak, which consisted of seven matches, the Milanese let Napoli go ahead in the fight for second line.
