Atalanta 2-1 Sassuolo: upheaval for Gasperini’s team despite a goal from Kyriakopoulos

Atalanta fell behind for the first time this season in Serie A when Giorgos Kyriakopoulos made it 1-0 for Sassuolo at the Jewiss Stadium in the 41st minute, but it only took minutes to turn the tide and amuse their crowd Saturday maddening night (10/16).

And that’s because she equalized with Pasalic in the first minute of first-half injury time, while making it 2-1 with Lukman in the first minute of the second to retain the three points through to the final and sit alone at the top of the table , with +1 against Napoli even with a match more against the Partenopei.

The match

Basically, the fate of the game was decided within a few minutes considering that the base scenario was written from the 41st to the 46th minute. The prologue was cut and sewn for Sassuolo and also had a Greek twist as Giorgos Kyriakopoulos found the ball following a D’Andrea cross and delivered a one-shot shot from inside the box to leave Sportielos a statue (0-1).

Atalanta were caught cold, just like last week when they saw a two-goal lead vanish against Udinese at the Dacia Arena, but they didn’t panic and turned the situation around in a dt time.

In the first minute of added time in the first half, the ball landed in Sopi’s penalty area in good time and was sent to Pasalic, who scored the 1-1 with ease. With a smile, the Bergamaskis went into the dressing room and with a smile they also appeared in the second half, 30” after the cross they found the net again.

Mid-half it was Sopi again to provide the assist, with Lukman thundering past Consilli with a stunning dribble and an elusive shot into the sky to make it 2-1 and send the Bergamaskis to the top of the table.

A shot from Berardi against the post was Sassuolo’s best moment in their attempt to escape Bergamo by a point, with Atalanta now having three wins and two draws at home in this season’s campeonato.
