In Matchday 18 of Italy’s Serie A, Atalanta hosted Roma and a single goal decided the game. This was reported by euro-football.rureports.
Early on, the Romans created dangerous chances: after a грубая mistake by Ederson, the ball fell to Paulo Dybala inside the box, but the goalkeeper prevented the shot. In the next episode, Evan Ferguson struck and the keeper saved with his foot; on the rebound, Sead Kolasinac blocked the ball near the goal line.
In the 12th minute, Atalanta opened the scoring after a corner: Roma’s goalkeeper dropped the ball after colliding with a teammate, and Giorgio Scalvini took advantage with a precise finish to make it 1–0.
Midway through the first half, Lorenzo Bernasconi delivered a cross from the flank into the box; Gianluca Scamacca seemed to head in, but the officials controversially ruled it out for offside.
In the second half, Roma looked for an equalizer: Matias Soulé broke into the box from the right and shot from a tight angle, but the goalkeeper parried it with his chest. In an Atalanta counterattack, Bernasconi fired from mid-range; the ball took a deflection off a defender and went past the post.
Final score — 1–0. Roma are level with Juventus in fourth place, while Atalanta moved up to eighth.
