The master beats the student, but what an ending! CdK-Touré, Monza stopped at the post: Atalanta wins 2-1

Monza Atalanta

A goal in each half, an opportunity exploited by El Bilal Touremaking his debut as a starter in this championship, and the usual Charles de Ketelaere who reaches seven goals in this Serie A. The bare minimum up to a decisive final thrilling: here’s what you needAtalanta to be right about Monza, for which a draw would be enough for arithmetic salvation and it will be seen for almost 90 minutes. Then the final burst of pride, with the goal of Daniel Maldini who shortened the distance and the post was hit by the same offensive winger, which would have represented the final insult for the guests. There Goddesshaving overcome the physiological decline surrounding the feat with Liverpool, returns to winning in the championship too and surpasses with the result 2-1 the Brianza people: the master Gian Piero Gasperini beats the student Raffaele Palladino and puts pressure on those ahead in the Champions League. The Nerazzurri are in fact five points behind fourth-placed Bologna and, above all, one point behind fifth-placed Roma, who however have a game less than their two rivals.

Charles takes care of it. We start man by man, as Gasp taught and Palladino learned. At the Goddess okay, the first opportunities are for the Nerazzurri and wasted by Touré. Orobic protests in the quarter of an hour: Bondo knocks out De Ketelaere in the area, Giua gives an advantage – the ball had actually reached Lookman – which is difficult to explain and which the Orobic bench cannot digest. Between the first half and half-time Gasperini will change flanks: Holm is out during the match due to a muscle strain, Bakker remains in the locker room. Monza can be seen above all with Zerbin and the usual Colpani, a couple of minutes from the final whistle De Ketelaere does almost everything. The Belgian wins a corner and then heads it to convert it into a goal. In the middle Lookman’s serve, perfect to be gored into the goal.

Touré-goal, Maldini shortens. If Gasperini plays for the flank change, Palladino responds very soon with Carboni replacing an uninspiring Colpani. Monza responds to the input and builds a couple of chances, but exploits them poorly: both Gagliardini and Pessina shoot high when near Carnesecchi, who is almost inactive despite the decent momentum of his opponents. Gasperini changes again and the wake-up call is needed: Touré and Lookman make the second goal which the Malian turns into reality, scoring his debut as a starter in Serie A. Monza’s reaction is entrusted to the youngsters, the best are Carboni and Maldini who in fact he created the 2-1 goal all by himself. He arrives too late, and the forcing in injury time in the second half it didn’t give the results hoped for by Adriano Galliani in the stands, thanks to Maldini’s sensational post with time practically up.
