Fiorentina win the Serie A Week 26 game defeating Atalanta on Sunday 20 February 2022 at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina reached 42 points being -2 points below Atalanta, but with a game to recover. This defeat is a step back for Atalanta risking to lose the 5th position. Sour note for Atalanta seeing Coach Gian Piero Gasperini being sent off in the 63rd minute for protesting. Moreover, Atalanta seeing Ruslan Malinovskyi ‘s goal ruled out for offside.
Fiorentina opened the score in the 57th minute for the 1-0. It is Krzysztof Piatek to defeat Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso with a right-footed shot to the bottom left corner. The assist is by Nicolás González.

✅ Stats before the game. Fiorentina have only won one of their last six league games against Atalanta (1D, 4L), however this success came precisely in the most recent match (2-1 in the first leg); the Viola can win both Serie A matches against the Nerazzurri for the first time since 2015/2016, with Paulo Sousa on the bench. After a series of 18 consecutive unsuccessful away matches, Atalanta have won their last two away games against Fiorentina in Serie A: the Bergamo players have never achieved more successes in a row away from home against this opponent in the competition. After a streak of six consecutive victories, Atalanta have barely achieved one success in their last seven league outings, a period in which they have drawn four games (three 0-0) and lost the remaining two.
Atalanta are the only undefeated away team in the five major European championships in progress, thanks to nine wins (fewer than Manchester City’s 10) and three draws.
