Unappealable victory of Atalanta at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen (Germany), hosting this afternoon the first home game of Shakhtar Donetsk in the new Champions League. The Ukrainian champion, who only drew 0-0 Bologna at its European premiere, it did not match ‘goddess‘, who had already scratched a point before the Arsenal (0-0) on the opening day and that was put with four thanks to the goals of Djimsiti, Lookman and Bellanova (0-3).
An unstoppable storm began Lookmanfirst with a shot that is too cross and then putting the ball in that area Djimsitidue to the passivity of Eguinaldoscored the first goal of the afternoon in the 21st minute. The second, at the end of half-time, came after countless chances on the Italian side and a volley against the crossbar from Lookmannon-stop.
Great Samardzic
He signed it, point blank, Lookmanhelped by Kolasinac after the big leaked pass Samardzicone of the best despite leaving empty space. The panorama did not change in the second half and Bellanovaenabled by his left wing counterpart, the veteran Zappacostamade the last 0-3 with a header. Special mention for the lack of defensive tension of Pedro.
Koussounou, KO
Everyone wants their purpose, being Zappacostain the 52nd minute, the one that came closest to achieving it with another shot into the woodwork. The bad news came, in the form of an injury, from the Ivorian Kossounouwhich is beginning to swell in the already full infirmary of Atalantafor whom the next international break will be good. Previously, the visit of Genoa at the Gewiss Stadium, in need of excitement in Serie A.
