Atalanta 3 – 1 Rome: Summary, result and goals

Atalanta has the partial advantage

First half with very few actions in the arches. In the first 15 minutes, Atalanta forced Roma to withdraw and set up almost a 5-4-1 without the ball so that the locals could not arrive clearly. Duván positioned himself in the middle of the central defenders, but as the minutes passed he had to move to get more into the game and that was key to opening the scoring.

Roma reacted after 20 minutes, an approach with a deflected shot from Pellegrini was the only threat in attack that Mourinho’s team generated. Although Abraham fell inside the area after a low cross, but after a VAR review, the penalty was ruled out.

The play of the goal for Atalanta came at minute 39. The locals recovered it at the rival’s exit and the entire play was generated on the left. Duván received a pass from behind and on the edge of the area, powerfully overcame those who tried to take the ball from him and He managed to get a precise center for Pasalic who first hit an impossible left foot for Rui Patricio. With 1-0 they went to rest.
