On Sunday at 18:00 CET Atalanta and Fiorentina will trade blows at the Gewiss Stadium: back to their Serie A ways after their respective European commitments, the two teams will pick up the league threads where they left off; namely, after drawing 2-2 to Juventus and Roma respectively.
Lookman scored his first Gewiss Stadium goal against Fiorentina.
Atalanta vs. Fiorentina, the MD8 fixture of the 2022/23 Serie A TIM saw the ball roll on Sunday the 2nd of October 2022. While the away side had the first chance of the game through Barak, who had his attempt negated by Sportiello’s on-rushing undercut; Atalanta’s retaliation saw Terracciano deny Teun Koopmeiners’ attack. As Lookman and Soppy’s individual plays wreaked havoc in the opposing defence, their siege got paid in full with Fiorentina raising the white flag in the opening of the second half: after gathering Koopmeiners’ first-time throw-in and dribbling past Venuti, Muriel rolled the ball across and found Ademola Lookman, who took his first bow in front of the home crowd to score his second league goal. Thanks to Mola’s decider, Atalanta flew to the top of the standings on tied points with Napoli.

Where was Atalanta’s 2-2 draw of 22/9/2019 played?
Nella 4ª giornata della stagione 2019/20 si affrontano Atalanta e Fiorentina. As Atalanta and Fiorentina crossed paths on MD4 of the 2019/20 season, the hosts took the lead through Chiesa, whose shot rebounded in goal after taking a deflection off Palomino, in the first half and doubled it in the second half with Ribery. Atalanta’s efforts at recovering the game were vindicated on 84 minutes as Iličić converted Gomez’s pinpoint through pass to reopen the match. As the black-and-blue pressure mounted up, the home side found a “Zona Cesarini” equaliser in the 5th minute of extra time with Castagne, who unleashed a powerful ranged volley from the edge of the box to vanquish Dragovsky and level the playing field. With the refurbishing of the Gewiss Stadium’s Curva Pisani up and running, the fixture was contended at the Tardini Stadium in Parma, Atalanta’s then-appointed venue.
