REGGIO EMILIA (ITALPRESS) – Atalanta pays off for European labors and stops at Mapei Stadium, losing 2-1 against Sassuolo. It is Grosso’s blackouts, in fact, to take home the three points, despite a game played in ten from the 16′, because of the direct red remedyed by Pinamonti. Sassuolo finds a network for time: first it goes to Kone sign, then Thorstvedt. For the goddess, however, it is Musah to shorten the score in the final.
From the episode of the expulsion onwards, paradoxically, it seemed the Atalanta the team in numerical inferiority. The boys of Palladino wake up too late and have the best opportunities only after having suffered 2-0. The first big chance of the match still has the Atalanta at 10′ with Zalewski, whose right is very short. A minute later, however, is the Sassuolo turn, but Thorstdvedt’s head blow is stopped by a great parade of Carnesecchi. At 16′ here is the key episode of the first time. Following a bad hammer foot surgery on Djimsiti, Marchetti extracts the direct red for Pinamonti. With the extra man the game seems downhill for the Atalanta. From here on, however, are the blackberries to play better, while the Nerazzurri, with the passing of minutes, are struggling to find outlets in the offensive zone.
At 23′ the boys of Grosso find the 1-0 leg: from corner of Laurientè, in the small area Kone that beats Carnesecchi. In the fractional final, always by air, it is Muharemovic to touch the doubling. On returning from the changing rooms Palladino puts his hands on the training, inserting Krstovic, Sulemana and Zappacosta. The two exteriors give more worms to the Atalanta, but the wall of the hosts still does not collapse and, indeed, it is the defense of the Dea to go several times in affanno on the life of Laurientè.
Precisely from a redistribution of the French exterior the network of 2-0 for Sassuolo was born: to collect his assist from the limit of the area is Thorstvedt who starts a precise right that goes under the crossroads of the poles. After the occasions of Krstovic and Samardzic, parate da Muric, the Atalanta shortens the distances to 88’, thanks to Musah’s successful entry. The Nerazzurri proudly touch the clamorous 2-2, but still Muric miraculously deviates on the cross the head of Scalvini.
An Atalanta discharge of energy loses important points for the race to the Champions area, now five points even if Roma can still stretch in case of victory against Juventus. Sassuolo, on the other hand, is in eighth place, at 38 points.
