Como wins comeback against Atalanta

Three goals conceded and third defeat in the first five matchdays for Atalanta. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team surrendered to Como, 3-2 the final score after goals by Strefezza, Fadera and an own goal by Kolasinac. Another setback for the Nerazzurri, while the Lariani are smiling with their first victory after returning to Serie A. The match against Bologna will have to be a challenge in which they will have to turn the page immediately. Cutrone and his teammates, on the other hand, will welcome Verona. The home team started with their foot on the accelerator, after a handful of minutes Bellanova attempted the first attack, but the low cross for Retegui was blocked by the Lariani defense. Immediately after, the Italian-Argentine striker had the first chance of the match, but the first-time conclusion was deflected into a corner by Audero. It took just 18 minutes for the Nerazzurri to unlock the match, following a corner kick by Zappacosta who shot first-time, surprising the visiting goalkeeper.

Fabregas’ team responded, with two attempts that worried Carnesecchi, but the Bergamo goalkeeper first blocked Cutrone’s shot, then Sergi Roberto’s diagonal. Also decisive was the exit and subsequent save on Paz’s vertical pass, which blocked a potential goal opportunity. Como took advantage of the positive momentum in the second half: a defensive blunder allowed Strefezza, served with a backheel by Sergi Roberto, to equalize the score after a few seconds. A few minutes later, in the 9th minute, Kolasinac’s deflection on Paz’s shot fooled Carnesecchi himself. In the 13th minute, however, it was Fadera who found the winning intuition, deceiving De Roon after a pass from the three-quarter line by Perrone.

Gasperini tried all the solutions available, but the Goddess was unable to react in any way: some solitary initiatives by Cuadrado were not enough to straighten the match. The penalty converted by Lookman in full recovery, after a foul suffered by Vlahovic, only served to make the evening less bitter.
