Atalanta riots against Torino, struggling with Nikola Krustovitch Brace and Camaldeen Slemana, and Marco Carnesecchi saved a penalty on Ademora Lookman’s comeback.
Granata recovered to inter from a disastrous 5-0 opening round defeat by holding Fiorentina 0-0, then defeating Roma 1-0. Adam Masina has joined long-term absentees Perr Schuurs and Zanos Sava. Ivan Juric returned to face his old club after embracing La Dea and stutter, fresh from his 4-0 Champions League defeat at PSG. That added Charles de Queteraère and Giorgio Scarbini to the injury list, including Gianluca Scamacca, Aedason, Seed Colasinac and Mitchell Backer. However, Ademola Lookman is back on the team for the first time since his failed attempt to force a move to Inter.
See how it all unfolded on live blogs.
Within ten minutes of Nikola Zarewski clutching the back of her right thigh and giving way to former Torino winger Raul Belanova, Juric had more problems.
Isak Hien also went down due to muscular issues, making it even worse when he ran out of two replacement slots in the opening 30 minutes and had to replace them.
Nevertheless, Atalanta took the lead when Lazaru Samarzic went down to the right and turned sideways for the first time Nikola Krstavich sweeps from 12 yards relatively relatively unobstructed. That was his first goal for the club since his transfer from Lexe.
They added immediately after a midfield break when Samarzic’s efforts bounced off the upright base, David Zappacosta unleashed the rebound for the club’s first goal in Camalden Slemana.
Torino collapsed and gave it along with Chrisjan Aslani, causing a counterattack as Slemana rolled from the left for the easiest Kurstovitch tap-in at the back post.
Giovanni Simeone tried to wake up the team by screaming from afar, a rough look at the bar, causing Slemana to hit the side net, resulting in one-way traffic.
Simeone also tested Marco Carnesecchi, but tested Atalanta threatening the fourth at the counter.
Duvan Zapata returned to Serie A after nearly a year of injury and was forced to make a save from Carnesecchi in a post close to minutes.
A moment later, Saul Coco was able to kick the ball in the box before Odilon Kossonou, who had got the back of his leg for a penalty. Duvan Zapata stepped up, but Carnesecchi saved the second penalty the week after the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain.
Raul Belanova had shocked his previous club, an epic volley of Thremana skimming cross skims.
Lookman came out of the bench after Atalanta made his final minutes of comeback and refused to force Inter through the summer exit.
