This Saturday evening, Atalanta and Cagliari faced each other during the 15th day of Serie A. The Bergamasques quickly took the advantage thanks to Gianluca Scamacca, scorer in the 11th minute on a good service from Davide Zappacosta. Well in place, Raffaele Palladino’s men then controlled the proceedings, relying on the constant activity of Ademola Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere to maintain the pressure, without however managing to make a break before the break.
Having been in difficulty for a long time, Cagliari managed to get back into the game in the 75th minute thanks to Gaetano (1-1), taking advantage of a moment of opposing relaxation. But the visitors’ hope was short-lived: real poison for the defense, Gianluca Scamacca scored twice to give Atalanta the advantage and seal the fate of the match (2-1, 81st). The 26-year-old Italian striker brings his total to 6 goals in all competitions this season. Cagliari thought they would equalize in the 93rd minute, but the referee signaled an offside position. In the Serie A standings, Dea rises to 11th place with 19 points, while Cagliari remains 15th with 14 points.
