BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – The fourth-place direct confrontation between Atalanta and Juventus was decided by Jeremie Boga. The Bianconeri sbancano the New Balance Arena 1-0 and conquer three key points for the race to the next Champions League. Stop for the orobians who did not lose from December against Inter: seventh place for the team is Palladino -4 from Rome and now far from the fourth square. In the next round there will be the challenge against the Giallorossi while Juventus will host Bologna. Palladino managed to recover Scamacca, veteran from a muscle nuisance, but the technician preferred to deploy Krstovic supported by De Ketelaere and Zalewski. Not even on the bench Kamaldeen Sulemana, stopped because of a strong contusive trauma to the left foot. Spalletti decided to deploy a specular module, a 3-4-2-1 with Conceicao and Yildiz to support former Boga, chosen instead of David. In the middle of the Locatelli and Thuram field, absent the disqualified McKennie. The hosts have raised the rhythms from the first few minutes, at the 7′ Ederson served with the right Zalewski times, but the diagonal of the thallus-Polish came out for question of centimeters. A few minutes later, always from the foot of the former Rome, the punishment came from the trequarti on which Scalvini, head, hit the pole to the left of Di Gregorio. The Bianconeri struggled to build game, due to pressure from the Orobian midfielders, Boga remained isolated between long and imprecise launches. boThe first hint of reaction from the guests arrived at half an hour, but Thuram kicked high. In the final part of the first time the Bianconeri took more courage raising their center, the goddess instead lowered the rhythms waiting in her half field. At 40′ he tried De Ketelaere on the cross of Bernasconi, the Belgian head shot ended high above the cross. In full recovery Krstovic, in a mix, has touched the advantage in reverse in the small area. The game was unlocked at 3′ of the shoot, on a collective mistake of the Nerazzurri defense: first the wrong exit of Carnesecchi, then the support of Scalvini who in fact gave the ball of 0-1 in Boga (four goals in six championship races). Atalanta responded to corner football, but Di Gregorio neutralized the head of Djimsiti avoiding the tie. The race has become nervous with the passing of minutes, at 23′ of the resumption Thuram, on Holm assist, has devoured the ball for 2-0. In the final the Atalanta asked for a penalty kick for a touch of Gatti’s hand in the area, but Maresca was not even called on the field review. It was not enough the final assault on the part of the hosts, to win was Juventus that conquers three fundamental points and takes momentarily to the fourth place, to +2 on the Como, committed tomorrow against the Inter.– Photo Ipa Agency – (ITALPRESS).
