“Domenico Tedesco booked for arguing with match officials as tensions rose on the touchline.”
“Nikola Krstović booked for dissent shortly after coming on, reflecting the growing tension as the match remained goalless.”
“Lazar Samardžić, on as a substitute, scored the only goal of the match deep into stoppage time to hand Atalanta a shock 1-0 win.”

Outstanding performance
Bologna•MidfielderBologna controlled this match from start to finish, dominating possession 58% to 42% and out-shooting Atalanta 16 to 6, yet had nothing to show for it by full time. Atalanta sat deep, absorbed pressure, and made just two shots on target count for everything, with Samardžić - introduced as a second-half substitute - popping up in stoppage time to snatch all three points. The result is a huge blow for Bologna, whose territorial dominance and superior passing accuracy (91% to 86%) counted for nothing against a clinical, defensively disciplined Atalanta side. For Atalanta, it's a testament to resilience and game management, grinding out a win despite being second-best for most of the ninety minutes; for Bologna, it's a frustrating night of wasted big chances and missed opportunities that will sting given the shot count disparity.
