A goal by Duván Zapata allowed Atalanta to achieve their first win at Juventus’ home since 1989. Specifically since October 8 of that year, with a goal from Claudio Caniggia. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team aggravated by winning 0-1 this Saturday the crisis of the ‘vecchia signora’ in Serie A, in which it is 8th, 11 points behind Naples (leader thanks to goal difference) and Milan. Atalanta is still 4th.
Atalanta jumped fearlessly to the Allianz Stadium against a Juventus that once again showed its fragility only 4 days after being thrashed by Chelsea on Tuesday in the Champions League (4-0).
If in the first half Federico Chiesa had the best Juventine chance, Zapata starred for Atalanta. But, while the Italian international (who was injured and retired at halftime) missed it, the Colombian scored a good goal in the 28th minute that ultimately gave this historic victory to the Bergamasco team.
After a loss of the ball by Álvaro Morata, Djimsiti sent the ball to Zapata. that he launched into the open field, catching the Juventus defense on the wrong foot. The error of the rear of Massimiliano Allegri in the end condemned them to another defeat in the Italian championship, because they also did not take advantage of their chances, among them that of Weston McKennie.
In the second half, Juventus tried to react and created danger, but the goal was denied against Atalanta with a very good Juan Musso defending his goal. Paulo Dybala was able to score already in injury time, when he hit the crossbar on a free kick.
