In the Serie A Round 18 match, Atalanta beat Roma 1–0 at home. The outcome was decided by the hosts’ early goal and solid defending. This was reported by kursiv.uz.reports.
From the opening minutes, Atalanta set a high tempo: the hosts enjoyed more possession, and the pressure through deliveries into the box continued regularly. Roma opted for a cautious approach and tried to rely on a limited number of counterattacks.
In the 13th minute, following a corner, Giorgio Scalvini got to the ball first in front of goal, and it crossed the line after contact with a defender. After a VAR check, the referee confirmed the goal, prompting protests from the visitors’ bench.
In the second half, Atalanta lowered the pace and focused on protecting the lead. Roma made several substitutions to boost the attack, but Dybala’s shots and Dovbyk’s chances did not turn into goals. The hosts defended compactly and saw out the win — the edge in chances and control also logically went Atalanta’s way.
