The action…

Atalanta took the lead in the 10th minute when Ademola Lookman found the back of the net. He executed a left-footed shot from the left side of the six-yard box, sending the ball into the bottom left corner. The assist came from Charles De Ketelaere, who delivered a precise headed pass. After receiving the ball from De Ketelaere, Lookman, wearing the number 11 jersey, volleyed a left-footed shot from a challenging angle, and despite being close to the goal, it slipped past Meret.

It’s the Lookman moment! In the 31st minute, Lookman found the net once more with a powerful right-footed shot from outside the box, sending the ball into the bottom right corner. The assist came from Charles De Ketelaere during a swift counterattack.
Napoli 0 – 2 Atalanta

In a thrilling finish, Mateo Retegui secured the victory in the 92nd minute. He struck a right-footed shot from the heart of the box, finding the bottom right corner of the net. Raoul Bellanova provided the assist with a well-placed cross. The sequence kicked off with Samardzic, leading to Bellanova’s delivery, and Retegui’s volley was simply unstoppable for Meret.

Stats before the game

Historically, there has been only one draw in the last 18 encounters between Napoli and Atalanta in Serie A, which occurred on October 30, 2019, at the Maradona, resulting in a 2-2 scoreline. This record includes 10 victories for Napoli and seven for Atalanta. Notably, Atalanta triumphed in their most recent away match against Napoli in the league, winning 3-0 on March 30, and they have achieved consecutive away victories against Napoli only once in Serie A, back in 1997 under the management of Emiliano Mondonico.

From 2022 onwards, Napoli have won four of the five matches against Atalanta in Serie A, losing the most recent one; in the period, the Bergamo team have lost more matches only against Inter (1D, 5P).  Napoli is the only team that has found 100% success at home in this championship: 5/5; only twice in their history have they won each of their first six games in a Serie A season (in 1930/31 and 1987/88).

Atalanta have won five of their last eight away games in Serie A (D1 L2), as many wins as they had in their previous 18 away games in the competition (D4 L9).
Napoli have won five games in a row in Serie A for the first time since a run of eight between January and February 2023, with Luciano Spalletti on the bench; furthermore, only Barcelona (10) have won more games than Napoli (eight) in the current top five European leagues.

After five wins in the first five home games of this season, Antonio Conte can become the first coach in Napoli’s history to win each of his first six home games in Serie A on the bench for the Partenopei.

Player Stats

Romelu Lukaku stands out as one of only two players, alongside Ademola Lookman, who have achieved the feat of scoring at least four goals and providing a minimum of four assists in this Serie A season. The Napoli striker, who netted a goal in the most recent round of the championship, has already scored in both of his initial appearances this season, against Parma and Cagliari.

Mateo Retegui has netted four goals in his initial five away matches of this championship. In the context of the three-point system for victories, only two players from Atalanta have surpassed this achievement in their first six away games in Serie A: Germán Denis, who scored six goals in 2011, and Luis Muriel, who found the net five times in 2019.

In the upcoming match, Marten de Roon is set to make his 281st appearance in Serie A, thereby matching Stefano Angeleri’s record of 281 appearances, placing them both at the top among Atalanta players for the most games played in the tournament’s history, excluding play-offs.
