The Match
The highly acclaimed Gian Piero Gasperini made a great return to Bergamo, which proved beneficial for Atalanta. Although Roma wasted an early opportunity and shot on target more than twice as often, the Nerazzurri bounced back by winning the first direct clash against an opponent aiming for Europe. The winning goal was scored by Scalvini, who pierced a guilty Svilar in the 12th minute from a corner kick.

The match saw Roma struggle to regroup, except for trying from outside the second with Koné near the fortieth minute on Celik’s inside ball returned by the scorer of the Atalanta goal. The Giallorossi complained about a handball, but the VAR check confirmed that everything was fine. In the 20th minute, Zalewski failed to double the lead by turning wide with his right foot with an open goal after finishing the counterattack for Ederson, countered by Cristante.
