An emotional match between Palladino's Atalanta and Pisacane's Cagliari: the Goddess prevails, triumphing thanks to a brace from Scamacca and bouncing back with two wins in the last three matches.
Gaetano's equalizing goal was in vain, as were Folorunsho's celebrations in the 94th minute after scoring the 2-2 goal, which was disallowed for offside.
Atalanta took the lead in the 11th minute thanks to a run by Lookman, who set up Zappacosta in the area: the winger shot confidently towards Scamacca, who, despite the power of the assist, let the ball slip through his legs and scored with a backheel.


Truly excellent performance from the Atalanta striker, who has contributed to at least one goal in his last five games, with 4 goals and an assist.
Before the goal, Ademola Lookman was unlucky, as he missed a great chance in the 7th minute: expertly served by Charles De Ketelaere, the Nigerian shot from close range straight at the goalkeeper, then hit the side netting on the rebound with the goal wide open.
At the end of the first half, another chance for Atalanta: in the 41st minute, Lookman tried an angled shot, which was blocked by Caprile.

On the rebound, De Ketelaere was ready, but his shot was blocked by a well-timed intervention from Obert, who took the ball away from the Belgian on what was practically a certain goal.
Great performance from Cagliari's goalkeeper, who ended the first half with at least 3 crucial saves in a game that could have been much worse without him.
Berat Djimsiti was forced to leave the field: the Atalanta defender felt a pull in his flexor and was promptly replaced by Ahanor.
Another blow to the Goddess's defense, following Bellanova's injury against Chelsea.
The extent of the injury is still unknown, but a return in the new year cannot be ruled out.
In the 75th minute, Cagliari equalized, with a goal by Gianluca Gaetano, who was also booked for his celebration.
Superb combination between Gaetano and Esposito: the delightful backheel from the former triggered the one-two that freed him to score.


Second consecutive game scoring after the winning goal against Roma, also assisted by Esposito.
It didn't take long for Atalanta to regain the lead: Scamacca scored the 2-1, well served by Lazar Samardzic, who had just come on.
The goal came in the 81st minute: a play between Samardzic and De Ketelaere, the Serbian crossed in, Scamacca missed the overhead kick but managed to control the ball and shoot it past Caprile.


Scamacca hadn't scored a brace for Atalanta since April 11, 2024, over a year and a half ago, when he scored twice in the 3-0 win at Anfield against Liverpool. In the league, it had been missing for 2 years.
4 goals in his last three league games.
Thrills in the 94th minute: Cagliari saw their potential 2-2 goal disallowed for an offside by Folorunsho, who was served by an assist from Esposito for what would have likely been the equalizing header.

It was not to be, the match ended 2-1 a few moments later.
