Serie A Early Match: Berardi ruins the Goddess and Juric’s bench. Sassuolo pirates with a deadly trio

Heavy setback for Atalanta, defeated at home by Sassuolo 3-0 at the New Balance Arena. A match that reopens questions about Juric’s position on the Bergamo bench, just days before the big match against Napoli.

The Neroverdi, clinical and dominant, take home the win thanks to Berardi’s brace (penalty and goal on the counterattack) and a goal from Pinamonti. For Atalanta, coming off a Champions League win in Marseille, it’s the second consecutive league defeat, with the team unable to react after falling behind.

🔹 The match

Atalanta started well but immediately wasted a great chance: in the 9th minute, Lookman was stopped by a miraculous goal-line clearance from Idzes. Sassuolo gained confidence and in the 29th minute took the lead: Pinamonti was brought down by Carnesecchi in the box and Berardi converted the penalty.

In the second half, Atalanta collapsed: in the 2nd minute, Pinamonti doubled the lead with an assist from Berardi, while in the 20th minute the third goal came, again from Berardi on a counterattack orchestrated by Thorstvedt. The Goddess looked flat and out of ideas, while the Neroverdi controlled the match until the final whistle.
