Atalanta-Bologna 0-2: Sansone and Orsolini keep the Nerazzurri away from the Champions League

Atalanta sees the Champions League move away, beaten at home by Bologna, 2-0 signed by Sansone and Orsolini. This is the ninth league defeat for Gasperini’s team, the fifth at home. Instead, the excellent championship of the Emilians continues, who are starting to think about Europe.
Very blocked match in the first half: Gasperini relied on the 3-4-1-2 with Lookman and Hojlund in attack, false nueve for the rossoblùs with Sansone supported by Soriano, Ferguson and Barrow.

Barrow scares Musso with a couple of imprecise shots, but in the first half it is Hojlund, blocked in both games by Skorupski, who comes closest to scoring. Setback for Gasperini: Pasalic has to give up due to a sprain to his right ankle.

The action that changes the match in the 4th minute of the second half: wrong interpretation of the Nerazzurri defence, Barrow verticalizes for Sansone who finds the opening goal with a great shot at the far post (Var confirms, the number 10 is kept in play by Scalvini ). Atalanta reacted with nerves but without lucidity: Hojlund worries Skorupski with a header following a cross from Boga, but Zapata and Muriel don’t sting.

The goal that closed the game was almost consequential to the situation: it was scored by Orsolini – who shortly before had seen a goal disallowed for offside – on the counterattack, badly controlled by Palomino and cold in putting his left foot into the far post. In the final Muriel could shorten, but Skorupski surpasses himself.
