Atalanta does not weaken.
Perilous trip for Atalanta this Saturday evening in Rome, at the Olimpico, to challenge the ruthless Lazio of Marco Baroni. And the least we can say is that at the end of a match where each team had its half-time, the draw (1-1) rather suits Gian Piero Gasperini’s men.
This Saturday evening, it was Lazio – with Mattéo Guendouzi starting – who took the match from the right end by opening the score from the start: a superb opening from Nicolo Rovella allowed Fisayo Dele-Bashiru to deceive Marco Carnesecchi ‘a volley from the right. Returning from the locker room, after a somewhat timid first period, Atalanta began to set the steamroller in motion. Rightly so, because at the end of the match, the outrageous domination of the Lombards ended up paying off: on an exceptional gesture from Nicolò Zaniolo, Ademola Lookman was able to serve on a plate Marco Brescianini who did not have to push the ball to the back of the lines a few minutes from the end. A draw which allows Atalanta to maintain its first place with one more match against Inter, victorious over Cagliari in the evening. Lazio, for their part, remains fourth and misses a great opportunity to come back to within three points of their evening opponent.
