Atalanta leads 1-0 at the end of the match against Comomatch played at the Gewiss Stadium postponed by 24 hours due to bad weather which will close the program of the fifth day of Serie A tonight. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team is ahead thanks to the goal scored in the 18th minute by Davide Zappacosta, a full-back born in ’92 who scored his first goal in his seventh appearance of the season.
It was a first half with two faces. The home team took control of the game from the first moments of the match and the goal of the lead, coming from a corner kick, seemed a natural consequence of what the pitch had been saying up to that moment. On the action of the goal, Zappacosta’s conclusion was perfect as he let loose a ball from the edge of the area that ended up in the bottom corner to the right of an innocent Audero.
Immediately after the goal, a Como team that had been non-existent up until that point had a significant reaction and surprisingly put the home team on the ropes. All things considered, a draw at half-time would have been the fairest result because only two excellent saves by Carnesecchi on Cutrone first and then Sergi Roberto prevented the 1-1 goal.
Not only that. The centre forward wearing the number 10 jersey had two more great chances after the half hour mark that he didn’t make the most of: first he fired the ball over the goalkeeper after a perfect pass from Sergi Roberto, then from a very favourable position after a suspicious intervention on the edge of the area he didn’t hit the target. In short, the game is more uncertain than expected. Atalanta is ahead, but Como is in the game.
