The score was not changed at the start of the 2nd half due to details: In the fifth minute, the visitors were almost at a loss when Reece James hit a shot that went inches past Carnesecchi’s post. Practically in the next move, Atalanta even found the net with Lookman, but the number 11 was in an irregular position at the time of Zappacosta’s pass.
The Italians hammered the rival defense and, after ten minutes, tied the match. De Ketelaere received the ball on the right wing, crossed the line and crossed to Scamacca, who appeared free behind Fofana’s back and gave Sánchez no chance of defending: 1-1.
The home team’s breakthrough came in the 37th minute. De Ketelaere received it from De Roon in midfield, had a free field and advanced to the edge of the area. Carrying the ball with short strides, he managed to find space in the middle of the opponent’s defensive line and shot Sánchez’s goal — the goalkeeper still managed to deflect it, but it didn’t prevent the 2-1.
