Atalanta, 7th position with 3 points and a positive goal difference of +2
The big duel between Atalanta and AC Milan for the Serie A Week 2 game ended with a draw on Sunday 21 August 2022 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Italy. Atalanta and Milan split the stakes grabbing 1 point each. To the advantage of Malinovskyi, Bennacer responds with a goal around the far post to equalize the 1-1 score. Not a good result for neither. Atalanta and Milan reach 4 points each. In the next round Atalanta will play the away game against Hellas Verona while AC Milan will host Bologna.
Milan’s streak of consecutive victories stops at seven but the unbeaten run that has lasted for 18 league rounds continues. On the other hand, Atalanta’s fast of home wins is prolonged, since they have not found the three points at the Gewiss Stadium since last February 28, the day of the 4-0 over Sampdoria.
Atalanta opened the score in the 29th minute. Ruslan Malinovskyi defeats AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan with a left footed shot to the center. The assist is by Joakim Maehle.

✅ Stats before the game. Atalanta have lost each of their last three Serie A games against AC Milan, after being unbeaten in 10 of the previous 11 (4W, 6D). Atalanta could face four knockouts in a row against Milan in the top flight for the first time since 1993-1996. Atalanta disputes their home debut of the season in Serie A by hosting AC Milan for the first time since the 1955/56 season: on that occasion the Nerazzurri won 4-3 and among the challenges played in Bergamo, only on 24 December 1950 were more goals were scored (11, 7-4 in favor of Milan). With Stefano Pioli on the bench, Milan have always won the first two games of a new Serie A championship: 2020/21 against Bologna and Crotone, 2021/22 against Sampdoria and Cagliari. Atalanta, victorious in Genoa against Sampdoria in the first round of this tournament, have won both the first two games of a new Serie A championship only four times in their history: in 1949/50, in 1964/65, in 2008 / 09 and in 2020/21.
