Scamacca Brace Lifts Atalanta Past Cagliari 2-1

Overview

• Gianluca Scamacca opened in the 11th minute with a back-heel flick on Davide Zappacosta’s redirected effort after strong work by Ademola Lookman.
• Cagliari drew level on 75 minutes when Gianluca Gaetano finished a slick move after exchanges with Michael Folorunsho and Sebastiano Esposito.
• Scamacca clinched it in the 81st minute, prodding in from close range after Lazar Samardzic’s attempted volley fell invitingly in the box.
• Cagliari goalkeeper Elia Caprile produced several first-half saves, notably denying Lookman and Charles De Ketelaere, to keep the match tight.
• AP notes it is just Atalanta’s fourth league win of the season, and reports differ on Scamacca’s scoring streak length between three and four consecutive matches.
