Chapter 310: Chapter 298: Coppa Italia Final - Milan Vs Atalanta II

Koopmeiners makes a run between the lines from his advanced position and the space opens for exactly two seconds before Milan’s center-backs can adjust, and Demien clips a pass over Bennacer’s head with the outside of his right boot while the ball travels in an arc that drops perfectly into Koopmeiners’ stride.

「LEGENDARY SKILL ACTIVATED」

Mesut Özil — Eye-of-Needle

Koopmeiners is in space twenty yards from goal with only Maignan to beat, and he takes one touch to steady the ball before striking with his right foot while his body shape opens toward the far corner.

The shot has power behind it and travels at pace but the placement is too central rather than finding either side, and Maignan dives to his left and palms the ball away with his right hand while his body extends fully.

The ball spills to Lookman on the edge of the area where he has continued his run after the initial pass, and he shoots immediately on the half-volley without allowing the ball to drop because taking an extra touch would give defenders time to close the angle.

The ball sails past the post by two yards and into the crowd behind the goal, and the away section groans collectively while players hold their heads in frustration.

Commentary Booth

"Another glorious opportunity for Atalanta!" the lead commentator shouts while his voice rises in disbelief. "Walter unlocking the Milan defense with that brilliant pass over the top, but Koopmeiners hits it straight at Maignan and then Lookman can’t convert the rebound!"

"This is becoming a pattern," his colleague observes while the replay shows both chances. "Atalanta are creating high-quality opportunities—Walter’s creativity is giving them everything they need—but the final touch just isn’t there tonight. Against a team like Milan, you have to take these chances when they come."

23’ - 28’ |

Milan sense momentum shifting in their favor because Atalanta’s inability to convert chances is visible, and they push higher up the pitch while their fullbacks advance more aggressively into attacking positions.

In the twenty-third minute Theo Hernandez bombs forward down the left flank after receiving from Tonali, and Hateboer tracks him but Hernandez’s acceleration creates separation before the Belgian can stay close enough to prevent the cross.

He reaches the byline and delivers a dangerous cross toward the penalty spot with pace behind it, and de Roon tries to clear but he’s stretching to reach the ball and his timing is slightly off.

The ball deflects off his shin at an awkward angle and loops over Musso who has committed to coming for the original cross, and it sails into the far corner of the net before anyone can react.

GOAL: ATALANTA 0-2 AC MILAN (23’) - Own Goal (de Roon)

The stadium explodes again and the noise is deafening from Milan’s sections, and red and black flags wave frantically while players sprint toward the corner where Hernandez has already started celebrating by pumping his fists toward the Milan supporters.

The scoreboard changes immediately.

ATALANTA 0-2 MILAN

Atalanta players stand still for a moment processing what just happened, and de Roon shakes his head once while his hands rest on his hips before he jogs back toward position.

Demien reaches him after three strides and taps his shoulder once.

"Deflection," he says, and his voice is matter-of-fact rather than consoling because stating the obvious helps more than empty encouragement. "Keep playing."

De Roon nods once without speaking and continues toward his position, and Gasperini stands on the sideline with his arms folded across his chest without showing frustration because transmitting pressure from the touchline would only make the situation worse.

28’ - 38’ |

Atalanta restart desperately because two goals down in a cup final with an hour remaining requires immediate response, and the urgency shows in how quickly they push forward after the restart.

In the twenty-eighth minute they create another clear chance through the same pattern that’s been working all half—Demien receiving centrally and creating space through technical quality before releasing attackers behind Milan’s defense.

Demien receives on the half-turn near the center circle and Tonali steps in to challenge, and the Italian midfielder’s body position suggests he’s going to press aggressively rather than contain.

Demien shifts the ball to his right with the outside of his boot while accelerating in the same direction, and the movement takes him past Tonali’s tackle because the timing beats the challenge by a fraction of a second.

「TRAIT ACTIVATED」

Ball Winner

He drives into Milan’s half with the ball at his feet and Tomori backs off rather than committing to a challenge because stepping out would leave space behind for runners, and Demien looks up while continuing his forward momentum before swinging his right foot across the ball.

「LEGENDARY SKILL ACTIVATED」

Paul Pogba — Long Switch Flair

The ball travels thirty-five yards through the air on a diagonal path toward the left flank, and the trajectory is perfect with the ball dipping as it travels so that it arrives at exactly the height Lookman needs to control on his chest.

Lookman controls and cuts inside past Kalulu who commits too early and gets turned, and suddenly he’s one-on-one with Maignan with only fifteen yards separating them.

The stadium holds its breath and even the Milan supporters go quiet for a moment because everyone recognizes the danger, and Lookman strikes low toward the far corner with his right foot while trying to place it beyond Maignan’s reach.

Maignan dives full stretch to his right and his fingertips reach the ball just enough to tip it onto the post, and the ball rebounds out into the penalty area where bodies converge immediately.

Scamacca lunges for the rebound but Tomori slides in first with perfect timing and clears the ball behind for a corner, and the Atalanta away section roars in frustration while players hold their heads because that was the chance to get back into the match.

Lookman drops to his knees briefly before standing and his hands cover his face, and Demien claps once toward him while his voice carries across the penalty area.

"Keep going," he says, and his tone is encouraging rather than critical because the chance was there and sometimes goalkeepers make world-class saves that can’t be blamed on poor finishing.

Commentary Booth

"How is this still two-nil?" the commentator sounds almost disbelieving while his voice rises. "Atalanta have created enough chances to be level at minimum—Walter’s pass there was absolutely perfect—but Mike Maignan is having the game of his life tonight!"

"Unbelievable goalkeeping," his colleague adds while the replay shows Maignan’s save from multiple angles. "That’s three clear chances now where Atalanta should have scored, and every time Maignan has made the save or the final touch hasn’t been good enough. This is cruel for Atalanta."

The corner is taken quickly by Koopmeiners who swings it toward the near post, and the ball is cleared by Giroud at the first opportunity before Atalanta can create danger from the set piece.

Milan counter again with devastating speed and three passes are all it takes to create another scoring opportunity—Tonali to Brahim Díaz in midfield, Díaz to Leão on the left with one touch, and Leão drives down the flank with only Tolói tracking back.
