Serie A | Atalanta 2-2 Verona: Post-Liverpool hangover

Suslov wasted a promising opportunity by scuffing the finish when found by Tijjani Noslin and Atalanta immediately countered to score a second, Scamacca’s first-time through ball releasing Ederson into acres of space to beat Lorenzo Montipò one-on-one.

Koopmeiners fired over from six yards after Charles De Ketelaere flicked on a long throw-in, then Mario Pasalic couldn’t keep his finish down from a promising team move.

Montipò got down to palm the Pasalic glancing header off the line and Koopmeiners saw his angled drive flash inches wide of the far post.

It was one-way traffic, Montipò with one strong hand denying the De Ketelaere strike from distance, though Suslov did sting Marco Carnesecchi’s gloves from distance.

After the restart, Juan Cabal stung Carnesecchi’s gloves with a powerful effort, then Verona got the ball in the net when Noslin found Darko Lazovic on the counter-attack, the finish going through Rafael Toloi’s legs to wrong-foot Carnesecchi.

Incredibly, Verona completed the comeback four minutes later when Fabien Centonze whipped in a low cross from the right and nobody reacted except Noslin to flick it in from six yards.

Aleksei Miranchuk forced a tough save at the near post after combining with Ademola Lookman, while Emil Holm fired over following a well-worked move.

Miranchuk stung Montipò’s gloves from distance and on the resulting corner, Isak Hien was fortunate the offside flag went up after he missed a free header.

In stoppages, the goalkeeper also smothered a Miranchuk tap-in from the Koopmeiners roll across.
