THE MATCH
Atalanta beat Fiorentina 4-1 in the semi-final second leg, after losing by a narrow margin three weeks ago at the “Franchi”, and reaches the final of the Italian Cup, where it will face Juventus, for the sixth time in its history. Objective achieved thanks to goals well beyond the ninetieth minute from Lookman and Pasalic, when the match now seemed to be headed for extra time. Ready to go, for a long time the Viola’s verve is limited to a pretentious attempt from outside by Gonzalez and the more challenging one for Carnesecchi, forced to dive, by Belotti, opened by the Argentine himself. Two left-handed shots followed by the home advantage with the scorer of the first-leg winner inadvertently serving the Dutchman. The possible doubling remains in the pipeline for a long time for the team of the suspended Gasperini, replaced once again by Gritti on the bench, also because in the 12th minute the VAR had an easy time canceling Scamacca’s right-footed shot from the edge following a touch from De Ketelaere, as the Previous foul by Koopmeiners on Beltran. The Viola try to put to sleep a match continually broken up by fouls, but led by Atalanta. In the 24th minute the scorer of the 1-0 tries again, turning right-footed on the Scamacca-De Ketelaere double counterattack, but Terracciano’s reflexes hold up.
Scamacca
Eleven minutes pass and the Scamacca-De Ketelaere axis again produces the latter’s opportunity, who widens the diagonal from the line, ignoring Zappacosta who is free on his right. If in the 38th minute Hien stopped Kouamé, who did well to cut in on Gonzalez’s finish, and five minutes later the former Bonaventura player aimed too far away to bother the Nerazzurri goalkeeper, it was Ruggeri who failed to make it 2-0 by moving it to the right after the ball from Zappacosta’s goal was returned short by Milenkovic sliding under pressure from Ederson. Upon returning from the changing rooms, another general rehearsal for a local encore with Ruggeri squeezing in front of the small area to head Zappacosta’s falling cross: the ball goes wide. In the eighth, the second turning point of the match with Milenkovic leaving his team with ten men for the attack at the limit on Scamacca, unmarked by De Ketelaere’s through ball: fourth comes in for Belotti, the Roman’s free kick is headed for a corner by Beltran . Duncan replaces Beltran further lowering the Tuscan center of gravity and after the quarter of an hour it’s De Roon’s turn to make a mistake on the action opened by Koopmeiners for the double backwards throw by Scamacca and De Ketelaere.
Vincenzo Italiano and Tullio Gritti
He regained the Fourth result, diving in with his head in the 23rd minute to transform Mandragora’s set-piece scheme. Gritti introduces Lookman and Miranchuk, but it is Scamacca who resolves the melee on Ruggeri’s cross which is cleared by De Ketelaere with an unstoppable overthrow on the half hour mark. However, the former West Ham player was booked for a yellow card for a mid-field foul on Gonzalez. The Bergamo players missed a couple more, with Lookman turning weakly with his left foot on the initiative of Miranchuk and De Ketelaere starting from his half of the field to lift from the area without opposition. Everything between 43′ and 44′; in the 3rd minute of injury time Scamacca, tackled by Comuzzo, chews the deflection on the ball from the Russian’s goal; in the 5th minute, Lookman’s goal was reviewed by Scamacca. Three minutes later, it was the Nigerian who launched Pasalic towards goal for Atalanta’s triumph with Gasperini celebrating under the Curva Nord.
