In the 9th round of the 2025/26 Serie A season, Atalanta hosted AC Milan at home. After 90 minutes of intense play, the two sides ultimately drew 1-1.

AC Milan took the initiative from the start, taking the lead in just four minutes: Davide Baltesacchi's corner kick from the right was cleared by Orison Ahanol, but Samuel Ricci, outside the box, immediately unleashed a long-range shot. His powerful shot deflected off Ederson and into the net, giving the Rossoneri the lead.

However, Atalanta gradually took control of the game after conceding a goal. In the 6th minute, Lorenzo Bernasconi took a corner kick from the right, and Isaac Hein's header at the far post went just wide. In the 20th minute, Mario Pasalic played a through ball forward, and Ederson's long-range shot was saved by Mike Maignan. In the 23rd minute, Charles de Ceftrare delivered a cross from the right wing, but Ahanol's header failed to find the net. In the 27th minute, Pasalic capitalized on a defensive error by Milan to deliver a precise through ball to Ahanol, whose shot went over the crossbar.

In the 35th minute, Atalanta finally equalized. Pasalic once again played a through ball that split the defense, and Ademola Lookman seized the opportunity when Ficayo Tomori was out of position to fire a shot into the net.

In the second half, AC Milan and Atalanta exchanged attacks. In the 68th minute, Baltesacchi headed the ball across, and Youssef Fofana, unmarked, volleyed just wide. In the 81st minute, Marco Brescianini's corner from the left was headed wide of the right by Hein. In the 85th minute, Davide Zappacosta's curling shot from the left was very dangerous, but Maignan made a brilliant save to tip it over the bar.

Neither side scored again after that. With this result, Atalanta sits in 6th place in Serie A with 13 points (2 wins, 7 draws), having drawn their last 5 matches. AC Milan, on the other hand, is in 2nd place with 18 points, boasting a record of 5 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss.
