Coppa Italia: Atalanta overwhelms Sassuolo and will challenge AC Milan in the quarters
At the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Atalanta in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia beat Sassuolo 3-1 and will now challenge Milan in the quarterfinals.
The first chance è for the guests at 7’: from a corner kick the ball comes to Volpato, right footer rejected on the dive by Musso. At 12’ here comes the Dea: Scalvini’s header, again from a corner kick, Cragno deflects with his fingertips.
On 24’ Atalanta’s goal: Miranchuk’s cross, Pasalic’s bank for De Ketelaere who pierces Cragno at the first post. The Emilians struggle to react and the first half ends on’1-0 for the hosts.
Resume. At 56’ low cross by Holm for Miranchuk, heel shot and resounding crossbar. Soon after, from a corner kick Scalvini’s header lifted over the crossbar and into the corner by Cragno.
On 63’ the doubling: Pasalic crosses low for Miranchuk, support for De Ketelaere who right-handedly signs his personal double. At 69’ Pasalic for Miranchuk, deft diagonal shot, Cragno clears.
At 71’ the tris: De Ketelaere serves Miranchuk who flatly beats Cragno. Two minutes later, on an assist from CDK, the same Miranchuk sends his left-footed shot sky-high. But qualification to the quarters for Dea è already virtually achieved,
At the’88’ Gasperini’s team also has the’chance of 4-0 but Muriel, served by Scamacca, who entered for De Ketelaere, devours it from one-on-one with Cragno. In the fifth minute of recovery, however, comes the goal of the flag for the guests with Boloca who takes advantage of a mistake by Djimsiti and leaves Musso immobile.
