Atalanta-Juventus 0-2: goals from Iling and Vlahovic | A league

From our correspondent Fabiana Della Valle

May 7th
– Bergamo

A goal that counts for the Champions League and second place. Juventus beat Atalanta 2-0 and overtook Lazio, keeping Inter, Milan, Rome and the Bergamo players at a distance. Goal unlocks Iling Junior’s game and Vlahovic’s final seal, who responds polemically to the boos and insults of the opposing fans. Atalanta hit the post late on but did too little to turn the game around.

Few occasions

—

Gasperini without Palomino, Lookman and Hojlund bet on 3-5-1-1 handing over the attack to Zapata. The same module chosen by Allegri who continues with the high turnover: Vlahovic on the bench with Di Maria behind Milik, Rugani is in defense for Bremer and Iling Junior moves on the left wing. Unforgettable first half, with Juventus pushing for about ten minutes creating two dangers: in the 21st minute Koopmeiners lost the ball and Di Maria’s round shot, which however ends wide, shortly after there is a header from Milik . Then Atalanta took the stage, responding with double headers from Scalvini and Zappacosta, but Pasalic got the best opportunity at the end of the first half, but he squandered it by kicking high from a favorable position.

Iling takes care of it

—

Juve suffers from the physicality of the Bergamo midfielders in the middle but in the second half they enter with another step and Locatelli and Rabiot raise the level of performance. It is no coincidence that the lady’s opening goal comes from a combined action between the Frenchman and Iling Junior, in which the Next Gen boy is however the undisputed protagonist: ball lost by Zappacosta, Iling first remains standing when the winger tries to knock him down, then serves Rabiot and sprints in the center, finding himself in the right place. Allegri tries to close it by inserting Pogba and Vlahovic for Fagioli and Milik, the number 10 first serves Di Maria a good ball, anticipated, and then tries to double but the shot is too central.

Pole and encore

—

Gasperini, who in the meantime had inserted Boga for Ederson, was forced to make another substitution 10 minutes later due to a sprained ankle by the former Sassuolo player after a yellow entry by Rabiot. Muriel also enters and tries immediately, but it is Koopmeiners who makes the black and whites tremble with a great free-kick, but Szczesny is not surprised. In the final Sportiello rejects Vlahovic and Zappacosta hits the post but Juve with the game almost over finds the 2-0 with DV9 served by Chiesa. The Serbian attacker was targeted by the Bergamo curve. Racial offenses were also heard, so much so as to push the speaker, urged by the fourth official, to make the announcement. Well, we would have gladly done without this.
