🇮🇹    Pisa and Atalanta concluded their Serie A Week 21 match in a draw on Friday, January 16, 2026, at the Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani in Pisa. Pisa is in urgent need of points to steer clear of relegation and has not secured a win since November 7th, when they achieved a 1-0 victory at home against Cremonese. A fantastic debut for Pisa's Rafiu Durosinmi, who netted the equalizing goal. Meanwhile, Palladino's soaring Atalanta is enjoying a strong run in the league, with three consecutive wins and five victories in their last six games, as they strive to strengthen their position in the European qualification zone. All eyes will be on Atalanta and their new recruit, Giacomo Raspadori.

⚽️ At last, after nearly 90 minutes of play, Atalanta gained the upper hand in the 84th minute. Nikola Krstovic netted a goal from very close range with a right-footed shot aimed at the top left corner. The assist came from Kamaldeen Sulemana. Ederson passed the ball to the newly brought on Sulemana, who then sent in a cross that reached the former Lecce striker, allowing him to score from a short distance. The goal was validated following a quick VAR review.
