He cuts inside and shoots from eighteen yards without taking an extra touch, and the ball deflects off Tolói's outstretched leg while he's sliding to block and the deflection completely wrong-foots Musso who has committed to diving left.
The ball loops over Musso's dive and drops into the net.
GOAL: ATALANTA 0-3 AC MILAN (38')
Silence spreads across the Atalanta section and the supporters who have been singing throughout the match go quiet while their flags stop waving, and Milan's end erupts with noise that feels like victory has already been secured.
Red smoke rises from the curva and drifts across the upper tiers while Leão slides on his knees toward the corner flag with both arms raised, and Milan players surround him while celebrating a goal that feels like it might have ended the final despite forty-five minutes remaining.
The scoreboard confirms what everyone can see.
ATALANTA 0-3 MILAN (38')
