In a tightly contested match on matchday 18 of Serie A, Atalanta emerged victorious over Roma with a score of 1-0 at the Gewiss Stadium. The game’s only goal was scored by Giorgio Scalvini in the 11th minute of the first half.
Scalvini made a decisive play on the right flank before firing a shot that found the back of the net, securing three crucial points for Atalanta.
Giorgio Scalvini was undoubtedly the standout player, contributing not only with the goal but also by clearing four balls out of danger. His performance was complemented by Marco Carnesecchi, the Atalanta goalkeeper, who made four critical saves throughout the match.
Manager Raffaele Palladino fielded a 3-4-3 formation with Carnesecchi in goal, and Scalvini, Berat Djimsiti, and Sead Kolasinac forming the defensive line. The midfield was occupied by Davide Zappacosta, Marten de Roon, Éderson, and Lorenzo Bernasconi, while the attack featured Charles De Ketelaere, Gianluca Scamacca, and Nicola Zalewski.
On the other hand, Roma, led by Gian Piero Gasperini, also set up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Mile Svilar guarding the goal. The defensive trio consisted of Gianluca Mancini, Jan Ziolkowski, and Mario Hermoso, while Zeki Celik, Bryan Cristante, Manu Koné, and Devyne Rensch played in midfield. The attacking line included Matías Soulé, Evan Ferguson, and Paulo Dybala.
The match was officiated by referee Michael Fabbri.
Following this game, Atalanta will travel to Bologna, while Roma will face Lecce at the Comunale Via del Mare next week.
With this victory, Atalanta now sits in eighth place on the table with 25 points, whereas Roma occupies the fifth spot with a total of 33 points.
