Atalanta win against Bologna on the 2019-2020 Serie A TIM Matchday 35 at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, as the winner is scored by Muriel in the second half. With this win, the Nerazzurri climb to second place (waiting for the other matches to be played) on 74, setting a new club record of points in a Serie A campaign.

It was an even match with the two teams fighting over every ball with great determination. The first chance of the game came for Bologna on 9 with a Soriano shot which was tipped around the post by Gollini. Pašalić had a chance on 29 after a give-and-go with Zapata, but his finish was blocked by Skorupski. On 39, Barrow’s free kick was palmed over the bar by Gollini.

In the second half, Gasperini threw on Muriel and that was the winning move, as the Colombian, assisted by his fellow international Zapata, found the back of the net on 62 to beat Skorupski. The Nerazzurri handled well their lead and almost doubled it when Colley tested the visitors’ goalkeeper on 78.
