The “red and whites” were well fortified behind the ball, his trick Martins by Agibu on his side Emvila had come out since his team had tension in its game, but there were several times that they spoiled them in the last third of the field with bad choices even though they came out ahead with conditions.

THE Gasperini took him out Pesina that… was chatting with him Pasalic but also the static Muriel. In their places the Cupmakers and Bogawho transformed the Atalanta for the better. The “Bergamaski” dominated the stadium and constantly threatened, the Boga made his team more aggressive and the Ivorian threatened in the 50th minute but the Watslik took out his place.
