Overview
- Atalanta won 1-0 through Giorgio Scalvini’s 12th-minute finish from a corner that stood after a VAR review.
- A later Gianluca Scamacca goal for the hosts was ruled out for offside following a lengthy video check.
- Berat Djimsiti led a disciplined back line and was named player of the match by Football Italia.
- Gian Piero Gasperini’s first visit as an opposing coach came with Roma already missing key players through injuries and Africa Cup of Nations call-ups.
- The result lifted Atalanta in the standings, while Roma must patch a depleted back three for midweek after bookings triggered one-match suspensions and Evan Ndicka remains away at AFCON.
