Who Was Man Of The Match? Merih Demiral

Juventus fell to another loss in the Serie A, as the team from Turin lost 1-0 to Atalanta. Merih Demiral was rock solid at the back for Atalanta and was today’s man of the match.

Duván Zapata scored the game’s only goal, early in the first half as he was found through on goal by Berat Djimsiti. Zapata fired the shot into the net, which is found after finding the underside of the crossbar.

Juventus were poor in the final third and failed to make many chances in the first half. Max Allegri’s changes in the second half affected the game, as Juve started to threaten the Atalanta goal a bit more, but it wasn’t enough. Paolo Dybala came close as he shot the post in the 95th minute, but that was the closest the Bianconeri came to equalising.

That result meant, Atalanta are now 4th in Serie A, 6 points clear of Roma in 5th, and 7 clear of Juventus in 8th.
