On matchday 19 of the 2023/24 Serie A TIM, Atalanta shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw with Roma at the Olimpico stadium to close out the first half of the season.
After Carnesecchi came off his line to deny Lukaku in the opening minutes, the Nerazzurri broke the deadlock on eight minutes when Miranchuk’s cross from the right was met by Koopmeiners who nodded into the top corner to give Atalanta the lead. The tempo was high, and the game was end-to-end stuff: Djimsiti had a shot charged down by the Roma defence on the quarter-hour mark, while Carnesecchi was alert to both Lukaku’s 21st-minute effort and Dybala’s effort that took a deflection off Éderson. A minute later, De Ketelaere won possession in the final third and burst into the box, but Rui Patricio tipped his effort over the bar. In the 33rd minute, Lukaku laid it off for Dybala, who couldn’t get on the end of the pass, then Carnesecchi saved from Bove before Roma levelled on 37 minutes with a penalty awarded by VAR, which Dybala converted.
In the same vein as the first half, the restart was lively: Scalvini had a go in the 51st minute but his effort was saved, while Carnesecchi kept out both Huijsen’s 56th-minute effort and Dybala’s 62nd-minute angled drive. Scamacca and Éderson also combined, with the Brazilian midfielder firing over on 61 minutes. Lukaku’s 80th-minute effort, set up by Spinazzola, went over as the game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Olimpico.
