Atalanta overturns Bologna and returns to Europe zone

Gasperini’s team expels Dall’Ara

First win of 2023 for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta, which folded Bologna 2-1 at the Dall’Ara in the post-match match of the 17th day of Serie A.

Thanks to this success, the Bergamasks climb to 31, joining Lazio and Roma in fifth place in the standings. For the Rossoblu, the second defeat in two matches in 2023: they are 11th with Lecce and Empoli.

The hosts unlocked the result in the 6th minute with a beautiful left-footed shot by Orsolini, who dedicated the goal to his former coach Mihajlovic. The Nerazzurri responded but Thiago Motta’s team managed to hold on until halftime.

In the second half, Koopmeiners’ flash goal in the 47th minute changed the game: the Dutch midfielder received from Boga and beat Skorupski. La Dea attacked and 2-1 came in the 58th minute thanks to Hojlund, a splendid insertion on another great play by Boga.
