Bologna-Atalanta 1-2, Koopmeiners and Hojlund overturn the rossoblùs

Atalanta overturns Bologna at Dall’Ara (1-2) and returns to victory in the league after 70 days. Three golden points that allow the Nerazzurri to catch up with Lazio and Rome in 5th place and to get back to -3 from the Champions League zone. The success bears the signature of Gasperini who guessed the right changes in the second half leaving Hateboer and Pasalic in the locker room for Zappacosta and Boga who guaranteed Atalanta the necessary change of pace to overturn the result.

Orsolini deceives Dall’Ara

Bologna jaunty and aggressive at the start. Ready away and Orsolini enters the area from the right and puts the ball in the corner: 1-0. Atalanta fails to reply. Again Orsolini (10′) and then Medel (12′) scare Musso. The players from Bergamo struggle to produce attacking action even if in the 33rd minute Hojlund tries diagonally by sending the ball too wide.

Koopmeiners and Hojlund reverse the result

In the second half, after just 2′, Atalanta equalized with an elusive stone from Koopmeiners. The comeback was completed in the 58th minute when Hojlund, on an assist from Boga, anticipated the rossoblù defense and jumped Skorupski with a perfect scavetto. Bologna replies with Orsolini who centers and shoots with his left foot (62 ‘) but only gets a corner. In the 88th minute Dominguez touched the post after a good exchange on the edge of the penalty area. The last chance, however, is for the guests with Zappacosta missing the trio in the 91st minute after a good action by Ruggeri on the left. For Thiago Motta, the appointment with the first joy of 2023 is postponed.
