MILAN – Neither Milan or Atalanta could find the breakthrough in the round 12 Serie A match on Saturday night with the two teams playing out a goalless draw at the San Siro. Bacca and Niang enjoyed the pick of the chances in the first half while in the second half the chances dried up for the rossoneri and it was the visitors who came closest to breaking the deadlock.However, Atalanta were repeatedly frustrated by an inspired Donnarumma. The Milan shot-stopper did brilliantly to get down low and parry a Cigarini header and then moments later the teenager was alert again to push away a Moralez shot at the near post. He then made another good save from Grassi with his feet.CLICK HERE for the minute by minute match report while here below are the stats to emerge from the match:25- the number of players used this season by Sinisa Mihajlovic.
