Stuttgart-Atalanta 0-2: Lookman and Zaniolo decide

Stuttgart (Germany), 6 November 2024 - Against two goalless draws at home against Arsenal e Celtic, L 'Atalanta continues to fly away: after the Shakhtar Donetsk it's up to the Stuttgart, fresh from the luxury 'scalp' at home of the Juventus, fall against the Nerazzurri, who liquidate the matter in the second half after a first half lacking in great emotions. The usual opens Lookman, now a sentence, and it closes Zaniolo, who as a substitute gives the desired answers to Gasperini, which enjoys an offensive abundance that sees another protagonist join the list of resources. The bad news, however, has not been lacking: if the attack smiles, the defense cries, which loses Kolasinac for an injury that is yet to be verified.  

The official lineups

  hoeness choose a 4-2-3-1 that he sees between the posts Cloud, protected by Vagnoman, Chase, Rouault e Mittelstadt, in turn shielded by Karazor e Stiller: the only tip is Touré, assisted by Millot, Undav e Fuhrich. Gasperini reply with a 3-4-1-2 open from Carnesecchi, XNUMX Djimsiti, Hien e Kolasinac in defense and the couple De Roon-Ederson in the middle: on the bands there are Bellanova e Zappa costa, while in support of Retegui e Lookman there Pasalic.  

First half

  Lo Stuttgart starts strong with Millot who immediately tries to serve Fuhrich before the advance of Hien: on the reversal of the front Lookman lancia Retegui, who controls the ball badly. The Nigerian overcomes Chase and search Zappa costa, perfectly contrasted by Karazor. At 5' Pasalic lean for Ederson, who kicks and finds a deflection from the opponent. In the 8th minute the Croatian strikes out with a shot that goes wide after a quick exchange between DeRoon e Retegui. On the other side Touré does the same, but the aim is even more unfortunate. At 11' a cross from Mittelstadt is deflected into a corner by Bellanova: from the developments of the corner kick the ball arrives at Rouault, who hits the ball badly with his head. Having escaped this danger, theAtalanta must however overcome the physical problem that occurs Kolasinac, replaced by Kossounou: the latter serves at 16' Bellanova, which opens up a space in the area that Retegui fails to exploit. On the other side Millot cast deep Undav, which tries to overcome Carnesecchi with a lob that goes just wide before the referee Obrenovic stop everything for offside. At 27', after a phase of crosses and counter-crosses from one side and the other without particular dangers, Retegui almost by chance he finds a loose ball in the three-quarter line, going for a shot: the result, a corner, is almost a bargain. At 31' Bellanova he crosses a ball that is deflected and recovered by Ederson, who goes to cross for Pasalic: Mittelstadt interferes just enough to avoid committing a foul and disturb the Croatian. At 45' Fuhrich filter by Undav, who with his left foot only finds the outside of the net: shortly before Obrenovic had waved a yellow card for each side, respectively Chase e Hien, before assigning 1' of recovery during which Retegui he becomes dangerous in the head on the suggestion of Lookman. The regrets of the Orobic brand are however soothed by the offside signal of the referee team.  

Second half

  Gasperini leave in the changing rooms Pasalic, replaced by The KetelaereThe new arrival presents himself with the main dish of the house in the context of an assist that has become fiery: it is the 51st minute and the Belgian surpasses Mittelstadt before setting the table for the winning left-hander of Lookman, good at anticipating Chase. For hoeness it rains on the wet when Undav he stops due to a physical problem: the replacement is Demirovic, who immediately becomes dangerous on the suggestion of Fuhrich, XNUMX Djimsiti which intervenes perfectly. Again Fuhrich this time he's putting it in the middle Touré, which lacks contact with the ball by the head before the deflection of Demirovic. THE'Atalanta he suffers but as soon as he can he starts again and in the 59th minute he does it with Retegui, which goes towards Bellanova: the sphere then ends at Ederson, who wastes everything with a conclusion that is too hasty. At 65' again Retegui he makes space in the area fighting against everyone: even against Rouault, who prevails before the offside is called. Gasperini also gives minutes to Zaniolo, which notes Retegui. Two consecutive fouls by Djimsiti e DeRoon they are making the field gain ground again Stuttgart, who after the previous outbursts signed by Fuhrich are experiencing a new phase of discouragement. It is no coincidence that the Nerazzurri are still the most dangerous, with The Ketelaere who at 73' heads from zero meters on Cloud, which replicates in two stages, the cross of Zappa costa. hoeness changes again: outside Karazor e Fuhrich It's inside Rieder e Sculpin. At 75' a great progression of Bellanova arm the very powerful blow of Zaniolo: Cloud replies again, but another offside call stops everything again. The new moves of hoeness are Stenzel e Malanga in place of Chase e Touré. The newcomer himself Malanga in the 82nd minute he almost equalised with a venomous shot that only hit the side netting. Gasperini lancia Ruggeri e Brescianini for Bellanova e Lookman. At 87' Stenzel picks up a loose ball on the edge of the box and kicks it towards the goal Carnesecchi, who sees the ball go just wide. In the 88th minute the goal is found on the other side Zaniolo, good at making the most of an amnesia of Rouault with a peremptory blow that knocks it out Cloud. Obrenovic assign 4' of recovery that it Stuttgart, despite the blow he took, tries to take advantage of it to at least give himself a consolation goal: Rieder he has the ball, but shoots it badly out, thus putting an end to the remaining hopes of theMHPArena, where instead a party is heldAtalanta increasingly in a corsair version.
