Atalanta Bergamo is having a great end to the season. Despite its disillusionment in the Coppa Italia final against Juventus Turin, Dea will face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League final and finish strong in Serie A. It is precisely with the championship that the Bergamasques had to do this Saturday. And on the Lecce field, Gian Piero Gasperini’s flock confirmed their current good form. Unable to confirm their superiority in the game in the first period, Gianluca Scamacca’s teammates broke the enemy’s barrier as soon as they returned from the locker room.

Decisive passer for Charles de Ketelaere for the opener, the Italian striker went for his goal to offer his team a deserved success. With this victory, Atalanta secures its fifth place, synonymous with the Champions League next year. Indeed, with six points on AS Roma two days from the end, the Bergamasques will have the advantage, because they have taken 4 points out of 6 possible this season against the Giallorossi in the championship. Lecce remains thirteenth.
