The Nerazzurri players started off well in the first minutes, creating many chances. Piccoli on 15 and Traore are the first attempt, but the best chance comes from Cambiaghi on 28 minutes: the captain’s finish hits the side post. On 31 minutes, Cortinovis strikes wide. Dinamo becomes threatening on 36 but Gelmi denies twice Marin’s effort on goal from close range. On 40, Piccoli’s header misses the target.

A stunning second half performance sees the hosts breaking the deadlock on 13 minutes through Cortinovis who is assisted by Traore and finds the back of the net. Three minutes after, Cambiaghi on the left sends the ball to the right to find Gyabuaa: the midfielder’s first touch finish is unstoppable and Atalanta double their lead, closing the match.
