2021 starts in the best way for Atalanta with a great victory over Sassuolo. On the 2020/21 Serie A TIM matchday 15 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, the Nerazzurri win 5-1 over the visitors.
It was an eventful match as the two teams were on fire. The first chance of the game was for Sassuolo in the opening minutes when Muldur fired off target and didn’t manage to beat an on-rushing Gollini. Another finish from the visitors with Kyriakopoulos was parried by the Nerazzurri goalkeeper. On 11 Zapata broke the deadlock by firing a right-foot shot into the bottom corner. Then, on 18, Pessina got dangerous and also Iličić had two attempts off target, while Hateboer and Palomino had two more chances to double in between. The double arrived on 45, as Pessina scored his first goal of the season on a wonderful Iličić cross.
In the second half, the Nerazzurri immediately scored the third: on 49 a Freuler back-heel flick found Zapata, who came sliding in to beat Consigli by sending his shot into the roof of the net to score a brace. Gosens scored the fourth by making his way through the middle of the box and firing his right-foot shot into the net. The fifth came on 68: another Freuler assist, this time for Muriel, who had no problems in beating Consigli. Sassuolo pulled one back on 75 through Chiriches and 5-1 was the final result.
