Juventus ratings vs Atalanta: Gleison Bremer shines as Bianconeri stifle Sarri's system | OneFootball

Juventus produced a tactical masterclass to beat Atalanta 2-0 at the Allianz Stadium. According to Goal.com, Luciano Spalletti’s side executed a disciplined plan that stifled Maurizio Sarri’s men.

Francisco Conceicao was booked in the 22nd minute, then broke the deadlock six minutes later, tucking in Mehmet Zeki Celik’s cross. The hosts managed the tempo and denied Atalanta clear looks before the interval.

Pape Sarr replaced Kenan Alajbegovic at half-time to add energy. Edon Zhegrova came on in the 72nd minute, Nicolas Gonzalez departed and Teun Koopmeiners was introduced in the 73rd minute, then Gleison Bremer rose to head a second in the 77th from Zhegrova’s delivery. Weston McKennie made way for Nick Woltemade in the 86th minute, Randal Kolo Muani for Lloyd Kelly in the 89th, and Douglas Luiz’s clean stoppage-time tackle capped a composed finish.

Juventus had 53% possession, restricted the visitors to two shots on target and conceded only 0.765 xG, while generating 1.15 themselves. Atalanta earned five corners and flashes from Charles De Ketelaere, yet the compact back three held firm. The result lifts Juventus up the Serie A table.

Ratings underlined Juve’s control. Bremer earned 9/10, Guglielmo Vicario and Jhon Lucumi 8s, Pierre Kalulu, Weston McKennie, Douglas Luiz and Randal Kolo Muani 7s. Celik 8/10, Gonzalez 7/10, Conceicao 8/10, Alajbegovic 6/10.

From the bench, Sarr took 6/10, Zhegrova 7/10 and Koopmeiners 6/10. Woltemade and Kelly were not on long enough to rate. Spalletti received 8/10 for his plan and changes.
