Ederson's goal in the second half helped Atalanta defeat AC Milan 1-0 at the San Siro on Sunday, solidifying their position in Serie A's top four and virtually ending the hosts' fragile hopes of qualifying for the Champions League. Atalanta, in third place, now has 64 points, four more than Bologna, who defeated Inter Milan, the leaders, 1-0 earlier on Sunday. Milan, on the other hand, is still in ninth position with 51 points.
Atalanta dominated the first half, but neither team really had any opportunities until shortly before halftime, when Luka Jovic of Milan caught a ball in the area and missed the mark. After the half, Milan was the more upbeat team. They tried to score but couldn't, and a patient Atalanta punished them in the 62nd minute.
