Mission accomplished for Sassuolo with the pressure to win this away game, and they did. Whatever happened to Atalanta? Amazing, Sassuolo against all odds defeat Atalanta at the Atleti Azzurri D’Italia Stadium without conceding goals. The hero is Sassuolo forward Nicola Sansone scoring 2 goals to give hope to the team for salvation. It’s a tough battle, but mathematically speaking, Sassuolo can still save themselves. Atalanta went down from the 7th to the 8th position. Sassuolo remain in the 19th position, but now are 3 points away to reach the 17th position.
The first goal arriving in the 33rd minute following a corner conceded by Atalanta defender Cristiano Del Grosso. It is forward Nicola Sansone to defeat Atalanta goalkeeper Andrea Consigli with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.
In the 71st minute, the second goal of the match, again, by Sansone! It seems Atalanta had a blackout, but not finding the way to the goal. Sansone defeating goalkeeper Consigli from a right footed free kick shot in the bottom right corner. Sansone scoring 3 goals this season.
