Milan and Atalanta celebrated hard-fought away wins in the 11th round of Serie A, with both teams bouncing back and returning to winning ways.
The “Rossoneri,” despite triumphing in the city derby against Inter (3-1), suffered a shocking defeat to Ferencváros in the Europa League (2-0). Amorim’s team returned to winning ways against Genoa, which had been on an impressive three-game winning streak. Meanwhile, Atalanta celebrated another victory after six consecutive matches without a win, defeating Monza (0-1). The two results provided both a points boost and a morale boost for the two clubs, ahead of the demanding stretch of matches to come.
Milan got off to a strong start, with Cissé scoring the 1-0 goal just 13 minutes in, paving the way for victory. In the 19th minute, the visitors struck again, with Pulisic doubling his team’s lead to make it 2-0. All Genoa could manage was to pull one back in the 88th minute through Ehlers, setting the final score at 2-1.
For the “Bergamaschi,” Krstović emerged as the hero, with the Montenegrin scoring the only goal of the match in the 49th minute, setting the final score at 1-0. Atalanta thus managed to get back on the winning track, putting an end to a losing streak that seemed never-ending.
