Atalanta successfully beat AS Roma with a score of 2-1 in the 2023/2024 Serie A 36th match which was held at Gewiss Stadium, Sunday (12/5/2024).
This is a very important match for Champions League tickets, as both teams are tied for fifth place, although La Dea has a postponed match against Fiorentina scheduled for June 2.
Atalanta’s two winning goals were scored by Charles De Ketelaere. Meanwhile, Roma reduced the score thanks to Lorenzo Pellegrini’s goal from a penalty.
Thanks to this result, Atalanta is now in fifth place in the standings with 63 points. Meanwhile, Roma is a level below with a collection of 60 points.
Gian Piero Gasperini barely makes a rotation ahead of the Coppa Italia final against Juventus next Wednesday, with Sead Kolasinac, Emil Holm and Rafael Toloi injured.
While the Giallorossi just won the Europa League semifinals on Thursday, they had to it defeat to Bayer Leverkusen and lost Paulo Dybala, Leonardo Spinazzola and Renato Sanches.
Atalanta, who had just confirmed that they would appear in the Europa League final, immediately played attacking from the start of the match. De Ketelaere also scored two goals in the span of two minutes, in the 18th and 20th minutes respectively.
Entering the second half, the match was relatively balanced. In the 64th minute, Roma received a penalty after Marten de Roon was deemed to have committed a violation in the forbidden box.
Pellegrini, who stepped forward to become the executor, successfully beat Atalanta goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi. Roma were increasingly eager to catch up in the remaining time, but their efforts were fruitless.
Atalanta’s biggest golden opportunity was wasted in injury time. Koopmeiners, who received a breakthrough from Lookman, actually fired a shot that soared high over the goal even though he was only facing Svilar.
Charles De Ketelaere deserves to be chosen as the best player from Atalanta’s 2-1 victory over AS Roma.
De Ketelaere was the star of Atalanta’s victory in this match. The player on loan from AC Milan scored two goals for his team. Amazingly, he scored these two goals in just two minutes.
De Ketelaere recorded four shots, two of which resulted in goals. Apart from that, the 23 year old midfielder also recorded two opportunities.
De Ketelaere also touched the ball seven times in the Roma penalty box and sent es into the heart of the opponent’s defense four times. De Ketelaere has also won six duels.
