On matchday 5 of the 2021-2022 Serie A TIM, the Nerazzurri win 2-1 over Sassuolo at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo thanks to the goals from two wing-backs, Gosens and Zappacosta.
It was a very strong start from the Nerazzurri. In fact, it only took them three minutes to break the deadlock, as Malinovskyi’s great low cross from the right found Gosens to fire in. Defrel was clear on goal in the 12th minute but he blasted over. The Nerazzurri’s pressure did not drop, as Malinovskyi skimmed the bar on 24 minutes, Pessina fired inches wide in the 32nd minute and Zapata nodded off target one minute later. Atalanta doubled their lead in the 37th minute at the end of a wonderful team move, refined by Zapata for Zappacosta’s winning angled drive. Just before half-time, Berardi pulled one back thanks to a left-foot shot into the near bottom corner.
In the second half, Defrel created some danger with a header from an inviting spot, but then Iličić forced a great save from Consigli with a left-foot curler and Piccoli immediately tested the former Nerazzurri goalkeeper as soon as he got off the bench. It ended 2-1 at the Gewiss Stadium.
