De Ketelaere shuts down Roma: Atalanta wins 2-1, the Giallorossi are knocked out

Atalanta-Roma, a match valid for the 36th matchday of Serie A, ended 2-1 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. De Ketelaere’s brace in the first half was decisive, in the second half he shortened Pellegrini’s penalty. Gasperini’s team performed sensationally for 70 minutes, scoring, hitting the woodwork twice, creating, impressing and trying in every way to score the third goal. Then the Giallorossi penalty changed the ending of the match a bit, but did not change the outcome of the match. With this result, Bologna and Juventus are mathematically qualified for the next Champions League, the Dea has moved up to +3 on Roma and can go even higher.

18′ – GOAL! DE KETELAERE. 1-0 ATALANTA. Launch from Scamacca, ball to CDK, Mancini doesn’t counter him, he takes it to the right and passes Svilar.

20′ – GOAL! DE KETELAERE STILL. 2-0 Atalanta. Scamacca’s inside ball for Koopmeiners, who serves behind De Ketelaere in tow. Left-handed with an empty net and 2-0.

36′ – DE KETELAERE again. He receives at the limit, he aims, he dribbles. He just throws the ball out. Always and only Goddess.

38′ – Another chance for the wild DE KETELAERE. This time caught in the area, from the right side, he approaches Svilar, shoots, POLE PIENO.

39′ – SVILAR. Providential dive to block Hateboer’s header. Nice save. Atalanta came close to making it three of a kind several times.

43′ – KOOPMEINERS POST. Sublime free kick from the edge by the Dutchman. Ball that goes over the barrier and hits the upright. Svilar watched.

60′ – LOOKMAN! Immediately very dangerous. Touré goes away to the left and serves Lookman in the middle. Control, sharp right hand, just wide.

63′ – THE GODDESS PLAYS IN PARADISE. Pasalic exchanges with Lookman, enters the area and shoots. SVILAR raises in the corner.

65′ – GOAL! PILGRIMS ON PENALTY. Shorten Rome. Penalty awarded for a foul by De Roon on Abraham, even though the Englishman had already shot.

77′ – CARNESECCHI! Nice diving save on the right from outside by PELLEGRINI

83′ – ROME OPPORTUNITY. Super action by El Shaarawy, who goes away to the right and flies away, serving Abraham, who changes for Lukaku. Powerful but central left foot. Block Carnesecchi.

Charles DE KETELAERE – At the Olimpico Rui Patricio had denied him the goal with a miracle, but in Bergamo he makes the rules. Galvanized by the guarantees about his future at the Nerazzurri, he directs the challenge with a brace in the 2nd minute. Crazy physical condition, he goes twice as fast as his opponents and enchants the fans with actions of rare quality. Mancini, Angelino and Ndicka in dolls. Several times close to the hat-trick, he also hits the post

Promoted – Lorenzo PELLEGRINI. In a complicated evening the Roma captain woke up in the second half and gave you a precious +3 on a penalty. He even comes close to an encore.

Failed – Tommaso BALDANZI. Touches few balls, never dangerous. Dybala’s absence could have been a chance, but it turned into a curse.
