Atalanta booked a resounding victory on Monday evening. At home, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team never ran into problems against Sampdoria and won 4-0. After the score had already been opened by Mario Pasalic after six minutes, the birthday boy Teun Koopmeiners shared in the festivities no less than twice. The Dutchman shot in the 2-0 after half an hour with his weaker right; In the 61st minute he also conjured third on the scoreboard. Aleksey Miranchuk provided the final chord. In addition to Koopmeiners, Marten de Roon and Hans Hateboer also started at Atalanta, which comes to 47 points in the Serie A due to the victory.
After De Roon had chased an attempt far over the goal of Wladimiro Falcone in the fifth minute, Pasalic had his sights more sharp. Remo Freuler hurled the ball from the right towards the penalty area, where the Croatian striker scored the opening goal with a nice pike dive. Atalanta was lord and master; Koopmeiners’ 2-0 was still relatively late. The midfielder went in depth, which was seen by Matteo Passina. Koopmeiners took the ball with him and rounded off from the edge of the sixteen-meter area with his so-called chocolate leg in the far corner.

The number five of the Serie A calmly continued to attack and Sampdoria was lucky that it was ‘only’ 2-0 at halftime. A double substitution after the interruption also did not bring the desired effect. After Hateboer (who was also close to a goal in the first company) had aimed a header just wide of the goal and Falcone had saved well on a bet by Pessina, Koopmeiners struck again.
Substitute Miranchuk put the ball on the completely detached birthday boy, who hit the roof of the goal. Atalanta had nothing to fear from Sampdoria and even brought the margin to four. Miranchuk was able to dribble freely from the right towards the penalty area and shot beautifully behind Falcbone. Atalanta comes through the victory on three points from number four Juventus. Sampdoria remains in fifteenth place.
