Teun Koopmeiners made his first goal on Tuesday evening for Atalanta. In the home game with the Venezia, the midfielder scored the third goal in a resounding 3-0 win. Like Koopmeiners, Hans Hateboer started in the base at the Bergamo club, after being sidelined for more than six months due to a foot injury.

The last time Hateboer played an official game was on May 19 of this calendar year. Last weekend, the 27-year-old wing defender was already in the selection for the won game against Juventus (0-1), but he did not get any playing minutes. Against Venezia, Hateboer was allowed to participate from the first whistle and he soon saw Atalanta take the lead. Josip Ilicic put the ball into Mario Pasalic in the seventh minute, who managed to slide the ball past Sergio Romero. Five minutes later, the Croat also signed for his second; this time Luis Muriel was the principal.

Hateboer experienced a relaxed return and saw his compatriot OVER ten minutes after the break reach a beautiful milestone. Koopmeiners got the ball on the edge of the box from Giuseppe Pezzella and shot with the left out of reach of the petrified Romero. The leading role of that evening only really went to Pasalic. With more than twenty minutes left on the clock, the striker was the end of a good action by Mureil for the second time and thus completed his hat-trick.

Without having to fear anything from the visitors, Atalanta finished the game. The team of Gian Piero Gasperini remains in fourth place in the Serie A with 31 points due to the victory; Venezia has to make do with sixteenth place. Marten de Roon joined the home side after 63 minutes for Matteo Pessina; Ridgeciano Haps played the entire game with the visitors.
