Who scored a brace during last season’s match?

Koopmeiners

As last season’s clash between Atalanta and Sampdoria culminated in a 4-0 walkover, Koopmeiners scored a brace in between Pašalić‘s opener and the final match-sealer courtesy of Miranchuk. Namely, it is the first and last brace scored by Teun while donning Atalanta’s crest so far: although the Dutchman is far from being a stranger to scoring, especially considering the hattrick netted against Torino this season, another brace still keeps resisting him.
