Hellas Verona produced a convincing performance at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi during this 14th day of Serie A, winning (3-1) against Atalanta in a match where the Veronese, although in very poor shape this season, surprised. Paolo Zanetti’s men quickly took control thanks to forward play and solid defense. Ramy Belghali opened the scoring in the 28th minute, before Giovane doubled the lead in the 36th minute. In the second half, Bernede scored the third goal to seal the victory in the 71st minute, giving his team a comfortable advantage.
Atalanta, led by Raffaele Palladino after the dismissal of Ivan Juric, struggled to react despite a penalty converted by Scamacca in the 81st minute. The visitors tried to reduce the gap, but the Veneto block remained solid, well organized around Montipò in goal and his three central players. This victory allows Hellas Verona to gain some air in the standings and no longer sit at the bottom, while Atalanta remains in search of consistency after several recent poor performances.
