Mario Pasalic equalised four minutes later for Atalanta by knocking in a rebound. Boulaye Dia took advantage of a defensive error by Pasalic and quickly found the target from the center of the area in the 87th. Then, United States international Yunus Musah equalised again for Atalanta in the 90th. Como and Inter Milan drew 0-0 in the other semifinal on Tuesday.
