Atalanta beats Verona 2-2: the Champions League race slows down

Atalanta fails against Verona and slows down in the Champions League race in the triumphant week that saw Gasperini’s team win triumphantly at Anfield, Liverpool’s home. The Scala team, down 2-0 in the first half, managed to overcome the Dea in the second half. A very hard-fought race.

Atalanta goes 2-0 but is then joined by Verona

The match broke the deadlock in the 13th minute, thanks to Koopmeiners who fed the striker Scamacca in the penalty area. The Roman attacker he didn’t hesitate to hit the ball with his right foot, putting the ball where no one could have caught it: at the top corner.

Then came Bergamo’s second goal in the 18th minute. Scamacca was always the protagonist (his game was excellent) who served Ederson, who scored the opposing goalkeeper Montipò with the right plate. The entire first half was without history, with the Bergamo players who could have also spread.

In the second half, however, Hellas Verona took to the field with a different attitude. More compact, more effective, deeper team. And in fact he immediately finds the net which reopens the game.

We are in the 56th minute and the Goddess is attacking: sudden yellow-blue counterattack, with Noslin serving with precision at the limit Lazovic, who finishes without thinking not even a second ends with the right to cross, finding the net in the bottom left corner. Carnesecchi can do nothing, even though he tries to perform a miracle.

Only a few minutes pass, four to be precise, and the guests equalise. In the 60th, in fact, a cross from Centonze from the right was misinterpreted by Carnesecchi. THEIn fact, Noslin manages to anticipate the goalkeeper on the fly from Bergamo, putting the ball in the net.

The goddess at that point he tries to lunge forward in search of the three-point goal, very useful in the Champions League chase against Roma, but a Montipò in great form denies the home team victory several times.
