Atalanta v Hellas Verona: the stats of the game

The 2-2 draw with the Scaligiers in figures

With the Gewiss Stadium game against Hellas Verona culminating in a 2-2 draw in Bergamo, it’s time to break down the clash in figures.

Back on the scoresheet for the third match in a row after Napoli and Cagliari, Gianluca Scamacca broke the deadlock once again against Hellas Verona. Considering also the brace in the UEFA Europa League clash against Liverpool, the black-and-blue number 90 has scored four goals in his last 3 starts. As pointed out by Stats Perform’s Opta Facts issue, since the beginning of March, the only “Big-5” players to have scored more goals than Scamacca (7) in all competitions are Cole Palmer (11), Florian Wirtz (9), and Harry Kane (8). Plus, “dittoing” his performance against Empoli in October, Scamacca has provided an assist and scored a goal in a single Serie A game for the second time. From one scorer to another Scamacca quite literally passed the torch to Éderson, who has now reached a tally of 6 league goals, twice as much as his scoring bounty (3) from his previous two Serie A seasons. By providing Scamacca with the key pass to the opener, Teun Koopmeiners has become the league’s second-best midfielder in terms of goals favoured (15 with 11 nets and 4 assists), only behind Chrisitan Pulisic.

As for the customary individual figures sourced from the Serie A’s official Match Report, while Koopmeiners and Aleksey Miranchuk were the players with the highest number of shots fired with three each (and with Atalanta’s number 59 only shooting on target); the Dutchman was also the benchmark in terms of goal chances created (5) and key passes (4). Matteo Ruggeri picked up the gong in terms of: balls touched, (96) retrievals (12), successful dribbles (5), and passes on the offensive third (16, on par with opposing player Dani Silva). Berat Djimsiti led the chart for successful passes (46).
