Even in the hours leading up to the match, they had marched against president Urbano Cairo and now have even more reasons for their protest. Total regression post-success against Roma.

The first significant moment of the match is certainly not positive news. After only 11 minutes, Nicola Zalewski leaves the field due to a physical problem, and Raoul Bellanova comes in his place.

According to DAZN, for the left winger, it is a muscle strain in the right flexor, which will certainly need to be evaluated in the coming hours and days.

Another 15 minutes pass, and the situation worsens for the Dea, losing Isak Hien as well. The center-back also exits due to a muscle issue, which will need evaluation. Juric replaces him with Honest Ahanor.

Considering also the match with PSG, it is the fourth muscle injury in 4 days after those suffered by Giorgio Scalvini and Charles De Ketelaere. A disaster.

In a whirlwind of bad news, Atalanta can celebrate the lead reached at the 30th minute. The signature is that of Nikola Krstovic.

The former Lecce striker, after 3 assists, breaks through with the Dea's jersey with a turn on Samardzic's assist. Only 4 minutes pass, and at the end of another personal action by Samardzic, the score becomes 2-0.

The Austrian hits the post, the ball is delivered by Zappacosta and then reaches Kamaldeen Sulemana, who hits the target leaving Israel no chance. It is also his first goal, in his fifth appearance with the Bergamaschi. Torino is insubstantial.

At the 38th minute, indeed, here comes the 3-0. Asllani loses a terrible ball attempting to play vertically, De Roon recovers and triggers Sulemana, who finds Krstovic free in the center of the area, who scores a brace with an open goal.

At the 67th minute, Torino loses Simeone, who complains of a muscle problem following a sprint.

At the 72nd minute, with the help of VAR, referee Colombo, called to the monitor, whistles a penalty for Kossounou on Coco, who had anticipated him during a set-piece play.

From the spot, Zapata steps up, but he shoots terribly, and Carnesecchi saves his second consecutive penalty in 4 days.

At the 86th minute, Ademola Lookman returned to the field for Atalanta. After the summer dispute with his public request for a transfer, the club decided to reintegrate him despite the fans expressing discontent.

Juric chooses to give him some minutes right away, aware that the Nigerian striker will be crucial in the coming months.
