Title wait nearly over for Milan

AP Milan, May 16: AC Milan's lengthy wait for the Italian league title will last another week at least.

Second-half goals from Rafael Leão and Theo Hernández saw Milan beat Atalanta 2-0 on Sunday and it now only needs one point from its final match to secure its first Serie A title since 2011.

The Rossoneri could even have clinched the title on Sunday but defending champion and fierce rival Inter Milan won 3-1 at relegation-threatened Cagliari to keep its fading title hopes alive.

Milan was two points ahead of Inter and has the better head-to-head record, which is the first tiebreaker in Serie A. Stefano Pioli's Milan plays at Sassuolo in the final round next weekend, and Inter hosts Sampdoria.

Lorenzo Insigne bid farewell to Napoli and netted a penalty in a 3-0 win over relegation-threatened Genoa.

It was the final home game for Insigne, who is leaving Napoli at the end of the season after 15 years to join Toronto FC in Major League Soccer, and he gave an emotional speech to the fans before kickoff.

The 30-year-old Insigne was given a standing ovation when he was substituted in the final minutes and did a lap of honor after full time.

Earlier, Sassuolo won 3-1 at Bologna.
