Atalanta, 7th position with 6 points and a positive goal difference of +4
Fiorentina overturned the result and won the Serie A Week 4 game against Atalanta on Sunday 17 September 2023 at the Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy. Fiorentina won their second victory at the start of the season. The game was a thriller, with 5 goals, and many emotions. Fiorentina after a slow start in the first half, closed the first 45 minutes at 2-1 thanks to Giacomo Bonaventura and Lucas Martínez Quarta. In the second half, Atalanta recovered with Ademola Lookman’s first goal of the season but the changes were fundamental. Christian Kouamé, who came on in the 63rd minute, scored the decisive goal to make it 3-2, as well as blocking Atalanta’s last action on the development of a corner kick.
Previously, Atalanta started with two victories and one defeat at the start of the season. This is a blow for Atalanta because they failed to claim the 3 points to catch AC Milan in third place. Furthermore, in addition to the top three in Serie A, the Viola also played two games valid for the Conference League playoffs which allowed them to progress to the next round and qualify for the groups.
Atalanta opened the score in the 20th minute. Teun Koopmeiners defeated Fiorentina goalkeeper Pietro Terracciano with a left-footed shot to the bottom right corner. The assist is by Marten de Roon.

Fiorentina took the lead again in the 76th minute. Christian Kouamé scored with a right-footed shot. Kouamé’s first league goal! Splendid action started by Beltran who, after missing two opponents, passes the ball to Brekalo. Adopo makes a mistake and gives the ball back to the opponents: Kouamé is very fast and scores Fiorentina’s third goal at the Franchi.
