Atalanta’s report cards
- Meatballs rating 7: Attentive and reactive to Mazzitelli’s outburst in the first half, then he takes a risk in the second half, engaging in a duel with Cheddira. Super in the finale.
- Scalvini rating 6.5: Defends by attacking forward. Prototype of the “Gasperinian arm”, he doesn’t let Harroui and anyone who appears in front of him breathe. Constantly growing.
- Djimsit rating 6: Rather quiet evening for the Albanian central defender, who accepts the one-on-one with Cheddira, doing great.
- Kolasinac rating 6.5: Solid performance from the former Arsenal player, now master of the Nerazzurri rearguard; from 54′ He rating 6.5: Gasperini takes advantage of the result to give him more playing time. The former Verona player responds presently, without mistakes.
- Holm vote 7: Third consecutive appearance from the first minute for the Swede, who did well to get the penalty that broke the deadlock. He limits Harroui’s plays, with the help of Scalvini, and proves to be a more than reliable winger. In the 91st minute, the first joy arrives with this shirt.
- De Roon rating 6.5: Authentic powerhouse of the Atalanta midfield, always found in the right place at the right time. Essential.
- Ederson vote 7: The former Salernitana player still scores, the linchpin of Gasperini’s midfield and an essential element to best link the departments. When he has the chance, he fits in without the ball and makes his undoubted qualities count; from 81′ Pasalic rating 6.5: In just a few minutes, an assist for Zappacosta and a near goal.
- Ruggeri rating 6.5: Involved with great continuity, he pushes like a madman on the left-handed side, participating in all of the Dea’s attacking actions. Diligent and strong-willed; from 54′ Zappacosta rating 6.5: Winger with a habit of scoring, he confirms himself as an important resource for Gasp.
- Buyers vote 7: Still very cold from 11 meters, like against Pioli’s Milan. Goalkeeper on one side, ball on the other. Then flashes of great football, for the Dutchman who definitively took Atalanta on his shoulders.
- De Ketelaere rating 7.5: Sprint start from the former Milan player, always at the heart of the Bergamo offensive maneuver and author of a fantastic goal in the 14th minute. Extremely violent left-footed shot under the crossbar, which leaves Turati no escape; from 62′ Miranchuk vote 6:
- Scam rating 6.5: A little impatient attitude, as usual, but he still comes close to scoring in the first half, challenging Turati with a header. He acts as a buoy with intelligence, “cleaning” a significant amount of balls. He hasn’t scored since November 30th; from 62′ Muriel rating 5.5: He can’t find the winning idea, missing a couple of easy supports for someone with his technical skills.
- All. Gasperini vote 7: He stimulates his team at the right point, prodding the starting eleven in the locker room and his approach is proof of this. De Ketelaere gives him a golden first half, then the team spreads in the second half.
Frosinone Top and Flop
TOP
- Hammers vote 6: Frosinone’s most dangerous in the first half of the game, thanks to the two attempts recorded at the dawn of the interval.
- Bonifazi vote 6: Some good finishes to report for the new Ciociaro defender, continually urged by Ruggeri. He holds his ground, as best he can, in one-on-one situations with the Nerazzurri forwards.
- Ghedjemis rating 6.5: Positive impact on the match, right from the start of the second half. Physicality, running and technique at the service of his teammates.
FLOP

- Soulé rating 5: Too far from goal in the first 45 minutes, also due to the aggressiveness of the Dea defenders. Struggles to find winning solutions. Even more so when Di Francesco moves him to the left-handed lane.
- to play rating 4.5: It’s his foul on Holm which leads to Koopmeiners’ penalty. Then a series of errors resulting from Atalanta’s offensive pressure.
- Harroui rating 4.5: One of the worst appearances of the year for the Moroccan footballer, with Dutch citizenship. He never finds the right position and is canceled out by Holm.
