Serie A Standing BEFORE the game:
Atalanta, 15th position with 4 points and a negative goal difference of -6
Parma, 18th position with 3 points and a negative goal difference of -5
| Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | Goals | DIFF | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | Atalanta | 6 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2:8 | -6 | 4 |
| 18 | Parma | 6 | 1 | 0 | 5 | 11:16 | -5 | 3 |
Atalanta struggled for 90 minutes, but finally could celebrate their 107th birthday after the goal by Richmond Boakye. It’s a special victory not only to celebrate the birthday, but it is also the first victory of the season. Atalanta was founded on October 17, 1907
Stats before the game, one point difference and both teams winning only 1 game in this season. Stats seeing 17 precedents with Atalanta winning 6 and Parma winning 5 and 6 draws. 35 goals with 18 goals scored by Atalanta and 17 by Parma…
Parma suffering their fourth consecutive defeat now seeing red numbers. It’s total crisis for Parma going from the 18th to the 20th position of the Serie A Table with only 3 points and having the worst defense conceding a total of 17 goals while scoring only 11 goals resulting in a negative goal difference of -6.
Happiest of all would be Atalanta coach Stefano Colantuono after making his decision to replaced forward Marco D’Alessandro in the 76th minute with forward Richmond Boakye. Imagine, 14 minutes after being in the pitch, and there he goes making the difference by scoring the only goal to grab the victory with a right footed shot.
Parma failing to create another upset just as they did last season in the 24th week humiliating Atalanta by scoring 4 goals to claim the victory. Goals by Molinaro, Schelotto, Antonio Cassano, and the own goal by Benalouane.
Here is ATALANTA official starting lineup by coach Stefano Colantuono:
ATALANTA (4-3-3) Sportiello; Zappacosta, Biava, Benalouane, Dramè; Carmona, Cigarini, Migliaccio; D’Alessandro, Moralez, German Denis
