MATCH REPORT

Juventus approached the match with character and intensity, taking control of the game from the start. The first real chance came from the right wing after 15 minutes: Conceicao delivered a powerful cross into the box aiming for a well timed David run but he was unable to convert the chance. Conceicao was once again showing signs of danger shortly after, aggressively progressing with the ball and finding himself one-on-one with Carnesecchi, who saved his shot very well. The Portuguese winger didn't stop there, trying again in the 20th minute, cutting back with his left foot before letting off a powerful shot that crashed against the crossbar. During Juventus's strongest section of the match, Atalanta managed to find the net in the 27th minute with a penalty from Scamacca. The Bianconeri responded immediately: first, Bremer rose in the box following an attacking move, but his header went just wide; Then, following a corner, McKennie was found by David in the box, but the Nerazzurri defense managed to close down the ball just as he was about to shoot. Half-time ended with the home team leading 1-0.

Spalletti's team dominated the first quarter of an hour, maintaining possession. There was a potential great chance for David, but Kalulu's pass into the box was blocked at the last moment. Midway through the second half, Cambiaso created a fine chance for David in the box: the striker laid it off to McKennie, who quickly turned with his left foot, but his shot went just wide of the post. Boga, making his Juventus debut, immediately got into the thick of things and played a perfect pass from the three-quarter line to Kelly, who took his time in the box but failed to direct his header on target. Another clear chance came from the left, with Boga using his powerful acceleration to beat his man before sending an inviting ball into the six-yard box: McKennie attacked the space, but was unable to find the decisive touch just meters from the goal line. In the final minutes, the Bianconeri pushed forward in search of an equaliser, but Atalanta counterattacked and scored two goals through Sulemana and Pasalic, sealing the result and ending the Italian Cup run for the Bianconeri.
