12 March 2021 Atalanta get up immediately after the defeat at Inter and rule La Spezia 3-1 at the Gewiss Stadium in the advance of the twenty-seventh day.

Orobici back in third place alongside Juve and with good sensations in view of the return of the Champions League round of 16 in Madrid on Tuesday.

Ligurians nailed to the fifth to last place, the dangerous area is likely to approach.



Pasalic, Ilicic and Muriel in Gasperini's offensive trident, Zapata starts from the bench.

The outsiders are Maehle and Gosens.

Usual 4-3-3 for Italian, with Verde, Nzola and Gyasi in the trident, Ricci perdno from the midfield.

The Orobics start with a great career and Pasalic immediately goes close to scoring on a corner.

La Spezia takes more than a few minutes to find countermeasures.

Zoet takes a serious risk when he misses the postponement badly and serves Pasalic, cross of first intention and header from Ilicic, Erlic saves on the line with the goalkeeper still out of goal.

After half an hour the guests' call arrives: Verde serves Ricci's cut, Sportiello rejects the close diagonal.

Not incisive Ilicic, author of some trivial errors in finishing.



Slovenian imprecise even at the beginning of the recovery.

But he manages to be forgiven in the 53rd minute, when he duets with Maehle and serves Pasalilc who beats Zoet.

For Atalanta it is the 'moment of concreteness'.

Just two minutes later Muriel, from 16 meters, invents a lob that leaves the La Spezia goalkeeper stunned.

Gasperini can alternate the forces in view of Madrid: space for Malinovskyi and Zapata (for Ilicic and Muriel), as well as Romero who takes over the damaged Djimsiti (nothing to worry about at first glance).

Spezia does not give up playing and ends up doing a favor to the hosts who find prairies in the attacking half.

Pasalic goes close to doubling his head, then hits it shortly after (72 ') with a low shot served by Zapata after a bad mistake by Ricci.

The Orobics pull the plug and suffer the goal of the newly entered Piccoli (81 ') who converts Estevez's serve into the goal sill favored by a soft defense.

The episode lights up the ending.

Toloi anticipates to measure Piccoli triggered by Farias, left to escape too easily.

Zoet hypnotizes Zapata launched in perfect solitude.

In full recovery, stage for Zoet who rejects Maehle's close-range header.
