Milan took an important step towards winning the Italian Football League title by defeating Atalanta 2-0 in the penultimate 37th stage of the competition, which also saw Napoli beat Genoa 3-0, and Sassuolo beat Bologna 3-1 on Sunday.
After a goalless first half, Rafael Liao scored in the 57th minute, and defender Teo Hernandez added the second goal a quarter of an hour before the end.
Milan's tally is 83 points from 37 games, 5 points behind Inter Milan, the defending champion and second-placed player, who faces Cagliari tonight.
And if Inter fails to win, Milan will secure the league title for the first time since 2011, before the final round matches next week.
