Franco Brienza scored a stunning stoppage-time goal to help Atalanta beat AC Milan 2-1 Sunday in a Serie A match which was again blighted by racism.

The 35-year-old Brienza curled a 30-meter effort into the top left corner in the sixth minute of added time.

Milan broke the deadlock early in the second half when Atalanta defender Gianpaolo Bellini turned Sulley Muntari's cross into his own net.

Atalanta leveled from the spot in the 68th minute, with German Denis sending Marco Amelia the wrong way after Kevin Constant had fouled Carlos Carmona.

Shortly afterward Atalanta fans threw bananas at Constant. They were sarcastically applauded by Milan players Philippe Mexes and Nigel De Jong.

Fans were warned over the loudspeaker that further incidents would lead to the game being suspended.
