A direct duel for salvation. Atalanta and Crotone down in the relegation zone struggling to survive. It’s a pity for Crotone failing to win this home game and still without a victory this season. Crotone practically crushed by Atalanta and remain in the last position. Something must be done or Crotone will be relegated.
Talking about determination. It’s Atalanta to open the score surprising Crotone fans at the Adriatico Stadium in the very 2nd minute!!!! Imagine, just starting the game and zasssppppp Atalanta forward Andrea Petagna defeating Crotone goalkeeper Cordaz wih a left footed shot in the bottom left corner. The assist is by Andrea Masiello.
Total chaos for Crotone not seeing their way out. In the 40th minute, Atalanta with another slap scoring the second goal of the match. It is Jasmin Kurtic to crash Crotone fans after his goal from close range in the center.
Hello, who can help Crotone? Certainly not the dreamed start as Atalanta scores the third goal of the match just humiliating Crotone in this first half. In the 45th minute, the goal by Alejandro Gomez delivering a right footed shot leaving no hope for goalkeeper Cordaz but to see the ball in the top right corner. The assist is by Franck Kessié.
Tough situation for Atalanta. Referee giving a red crd to defender Franck Kessié in the 62nd minute after a foul on Crotone defender Noe Dussenne. Atalanta remaining with 10 players.
Finally, the honor goal for Crotone arriving in the 86th minute to give some happiness to the fans. It is Corotone forward Simy to score defeating Atalanta goalkeeper Berisha with a right footed shot in the center. The headed assist is by forward Diego Falcinelli.
