In the recent Coppa Italia fixture on January 10th, 2024 between AC Milan and Atalanta, the match took an unexpected turn as Atalanta claimed a 2-1 away win despite being statistically dominated by AC Milan in certain key areas.

AC Milan scored one goal with a rapid response near the halftime, precisely at the 45:28-minute mark after Atalanta opened the match's account just two minute earlier at the 47:20-minute mark. However, Atalanta retaliated with a decisive goal at the 58:27-minute mark in the second half, taking the final scoreline to 2-1 in their favor.

An interesting aspect of the match was the aggressive and pressing stint by the home team, AC Milan, which seemed to have dominated the corner kick stats, achieving 7 corners as compared to Atalanta's 3. This data suggests that AC Milan might have had more attacking possession over Atalanta, but failed to convert these opportunities into goals.

The difference in the number of fouls committed by both teams was also noticeable – AC Milan committing 7 fouls, whereas Atalanta made 12 fouls. The high number of fouls by Atalanta could be indicative of their defensive pressure under AC Milan’s aggressive gameplay. It also resulted in Atalanta being handed a yellow card in the second half at the 01:29:24-time mark.

Furthermore, AC Milan recorded 2 yellow cards in the second half, at the time mark of 00:57:36 and 01:19:34 respectively. However, both teams managed to avoid a red card throughout the match. AC Milan might have been frustrated due to the disadvantages which could have led to a lack of discipline.

With regards to the offside stats, only Milan was caught straying offside once which hints towards their desperate attacks.

In conclusion, despite AC Milan's stronger presence in terms of corner kicks and less fouls committed, their failure to consummate these chances ultimately led to their downfall. On the other hand, Atalanta overcame the pressure of fouls and fewer corners to score vital goals at crucial times which illustrates a solid and winning performance delivering the most significant impact on the match outcome. This victory underlines Atalanta’s tactical prowess and effective scoring strategy in demanding situations.
