ROMA (ITALPRESS) – The first act of the Italian Cup semi-final between Lazio and Atalanta ended in parity for 2-2: all goals in the shoot, with the Biancocelesti ahead for two times with Dele-Bashiru and Dia, to which they responded first Pasalic and then Musah. Sarri finds Gila and Maldini and raises them immediately, while Palladino again prefers Krstovic to Scamacca. The atmosphere is that, surreal, of the last weeks, that is with the Olympic desert but, this time, the Biancocelesti fans gathered outside, near the Stadium of the Marmi, at the height of the North Curva, to make their support with choirs and firecrackers. Starting better, however, is the Atalanta, which finds the goal after eight minutes with the head blow of Krstovic; all canceled for a previous outgame of Zappacosta, author of the cross. In the Biancocelesti the most active is Isaksen, but they are Zaccagni and Maldini to pack the most important occasion of the first time, with the second, ex of the game, which lacks the impact with the ball on the cross of the captain. The Atalanta takes field in the last third of fraction and turns again the goal to 41′, when Zappacosta coordinates on the cross of Bernasconi and hits the cross. The beginning of the second time is striking: at 47′ pass the Lazio with the perfect shore of Maldini for the insertion of Dele-Bashiru, which with a touch under beats Carnesecchi out. The joy of the Biancocelesti, however, lasts little, since at 51′ comes the tie of the guests: Provedel rejects Samardzic’s shot from the limit, but Pasalic’s tap-in is easy. Latium recovers immediately and becomes dangerous at 59′ with a ride of Isaksen that leads to the shooting from the limit of Taylor, on which Carnesecchi must perform a non-banal parade. At 64′ the Atalanta loses Scalvini for injury, and shortly after Sarri and Palladino are warned for a diverb born after a contact between Zaccagni and Kossounou. The rhythms are lowered and the game seems to go towards the tie, but at 87’ Pasalic the big combination by wronging the control on the Tavares cross and favoring the insertion of Dia, that all only beats Carnesecchi and returns to the goal after more than five months. It is not over yet, because at 90′ Musah takes advantage of a wandering ball in the center area and beats Provedel for the definitive 2-2. The appointment, now, is for the end of April with the return match in Bergamo.– photo Image –(ITALPRESS).
