Turin-Atalanta

Turin, 4 December 2023 - Il Turin he annihilated Atalanta, in the Monday postponement valid for the 14th day of Serie A. The Granata team prevailed 3-0 over Dea, in a match where the Bergamo players showed the worst of themselves. Duvan's goals Zapata, in the 22nd and 95th minutes, and the penalty kick of Sanabria in the 56th minute they decided on a one-sided match, which featured one of the worst performances from Gian Piero Gasperini's team in months. Juric's excellent Toro, however, thus takes the three points and rises to 19th in the standings, -1 from today's opponents.

The starting lineups

Let it be Ivan Juric that Gian Piero Gasperini they choose the three-man defense for their respective teams. The Turin presents itself with Milinkovic Savic between the posts, assisted by Tameze, Buongiorno and Rodriguez in the defensive line. Bellanova and Vojvoda are the two full-back wingers, Linetty and Ilic are the two central midfielders. Vlasic acts further forward, behind Zapata and Sanabria. On the other side Atalanta sees Musso in goal, De Roon, Djimsiti and Scalvini making up the rearguard. Hateboer and Ruggeri are the two laterals in midfield, Ederson and Koopmeiners work in the middle. Miranchuk moves across the midfield, supporting Lookman and De Ketelaere.

First half

The first minutes of the challenge are rather boring and technically not excellent. Both on one side and the other there are few flashes, some errors and poor game ideas. At the quarter of an hour Voyvoda tries to liven up the evening at the Olimpico Grande Torino, when his shot fouled by the defense ends up just wide, controlled on sight by Musso. Always the Turin try to push with greater continuity as the minutes pass. In the 18th minute Vlasic attempted a shot from distance, which was blocked without any worries by the Atalanta goalkeeper, who was decidedly more on guard than the home team, who had been inactive until now. The goal that breaks the deadlock comes in the 21st minute and comes from the Granata. vlasic he passes an assist to the center of the area for Zapata, who takes advantage of an error by Scalvini and punishes Musso for the 1-0 goal. There Goddess he struggles enormously and risks a lot even in the following minutes, only to then create an action out of nothing: De Ketelaere in the 29th minute he had the chance to equalize, but Milinkovic Savic told him no. The last fifteen minutes do not offer great emotions and the two teams go to rest in the locker rooms.

Second half

The return to the field does not show an Atalanta more combative. The Turin he manages with confidence and, indeed, even scores the second goal after about ten minutes. Scalvini makes another serious mistake, fouling Buongiorno and awarding a penalty. Sanabria he shows up on the spot and makes no mistakes from eleven meters: 2-0 for the home team in the 56th minute. Gasperini's boys seem completely toned down compared to usual: no idea of ​​the game, little precision, little aggression. Only in the 80th minute, after many minutes of stalemate, Pasalic commits Milinkovic-Savic with a personal twist. In injury time there is still time to witness a brace from footings, again with an assist from Vlasic, who made the final 3-0.
