From Spain to Italy, AC Milan drew Atalanta 2-2 in a match which saw three goals scored by Argentina National Team players. Gonzalo HIGUAIN opened the scoring with a lovely finish just two minutes into the match to give AC Milan the 1-0 lead.

Alejandro GOMEZ drew Atalanta level with an effort from close range. After having taken the lead for the second time in the match, Emiliano RIGONI scored in injury time to give Atalanta the point.
