Inter stalls title race in atalanta draw; milan waits

Inter Milan’s Serie A title pursuit hit a snag Sunday, drawing 1-1 with Atalanta Bergamo, allowing AC Milan to close the gap to five points.

Esposito opens the scoring for milan

Pio Esposito put Milan ahead in the 26th minute, but Nikola Krstovic's late equalizer in the 82nd minute secured a point for Bergamo. The result follows a disappointing derby loss for Inter last week, raising questions about their momentum.

The match also saw Inter’s Christian Chivu sent to the stands after protesting a foul leading to the Atalanta goal. That’s a costly consequence for the Nerazzurri.

Meanwhile, Atalanta’s Champions League hopes appear slim after their 6-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in the first leg of their Round of 16 tie. The team faces a daunting task in the return match.

The draw leaves AC Milan with a significant opportunity to close the gap on Inter. Their next match against Lazio Rome presents a chance to chip away at the league leaders’ advantage.

The Bayern Munich team has been a force, even without Harry Kane. Their relentless attack continues to dominate opponents.

Inter will need to regroup quickly. Their title challenge is far from over, but they can’t afford to drop any more points.

Result: Inter Milan 1 – 1 Atalanta Bergamo
