Tchaouna makes a half-empty Arechi celebrate: Salernitana ahead 1-0 over Atalanta at half-time

Salernitana surprisingly ahead ofAtalanta after Arechi’s first half. Stefano Colantuono’s men took some risks, but still finished 1-0 ahead after the first 45 minutes thanks to a goal from Loum Tchaouna.

The Goddess got off to a better start with Miranchuk immediately coming close to taking the lead after a nice Pasalic-Scamacca combination. Then here’s the sharp player from the class of 2003, who was very good at escaping to the offside line by following Vignato’s through ball and sending De Roon into overdrive in a defensive retreat. At that point scoring the 1-0 goal was almost child’s play.

Atalanta, with their mind probably partly oriented towards the second leg of the Europa League semi-final, tries to produce scoring opportunities but without luck: Lookman tries, who devours the equaliser, then Scamacca and Hateboer, but mister Colantuono’s rearguard holds their ground and in the end, in a semi-deserted Arechi, they end the first half with a deserved advantage.
