Cremonese-Atalanta 1-3: Boga and Lookman relala the fourth place to the nerazzurri

Cremonese ever closer to Serie B, Atalanta continues its race towards a placement in European competitions. It is in summary the reason for the 3-1 inflicted by the Bergamo players on the Grigiorossi at the Zini in Cremona. The start of the match is a local brand with Atalanta standing by and watching. In the 5th minute Meité descends and ends the save, then Tsadjout restarts with a high shot by Castagnetti. Another maneuvered action by Cremonese sends Valeri to the back for the assist to Benassi who kicks weakly towards Musso. The finale of the first fraction comes to life: in the 40th minute a free-kick from 20 meters for Cremonese which Castagnetti kicks badly. In the 44th minute the Atalanta goal. Zapata moves towards the area and puts the ball in the middle, Aiwu deflects it with part of his back, but delivers it to De Roon who doesn’t forgive from a few steps away.

In the second half, Cremonese was forced to advance to make up for the disadvantage. Poorly orderly manoeuvre, but the goal arrives anyway: on a shot rejected by Palomino, Ciofani tries with a volley, Toloi opposes but hits with his arm. Penalty that Ciofani himself converts in the 10th minute bringing his personal tally to 6 goals (team striker at 37 years old). In the meantime, Atalanta with Boga, Lookman and Hojlund on the pitch managed to be more incisive up front and, on 28′, regained the advantage with Boga. Hojlund in acceleration leaves Bianchetti on the spot and then unloads in the middle where the Ivorian anticipates everyone and scores. In the 44th minute De Roon serves Hojlund in front of goal who incredibly misses the third goal. In the final attempts by Valeri and Buonaiuto, but the match is closed by Atalanta: Lookman finalizes a throw-in action from a few steps away.
