The Nerazzurri beat the French with a goal from the striker Trieste and close in front of everyone in group E: Monday will be seeded in the draws of the final sixteenth
A draw was enough, but to settle for Atalanta and Gasperini, they did not want to know. So, even in the sixth and final exit of the group of Europa League, the Nerazzurri centered the victory, closing the grouping in first place. A historical result.
The company had already been signed in Liverpool on November 23rd, with the pass for the final round of 32 with a turn in advance. On Thursday 7 December, the first place in the group was put in the safe, a result made even more incredible by the extreme difficulty of the group in which the Atalanta was finished in August.At the Mapei Stadium, in front of 15 thousand fans who left in the afternoon from Bergamo, the Nerazzurri also extended Lyon, closing with a beauty of 14 points. Before all.
A goal by a robber from Petagna was enough to write this other piece of history. At 10 'of the first half the striker trieste beat Lopez with a header from a few steps of the goal line, putting at the bottom of the bag a dirty shot of Hateboer.
Lyon was a small thing, even if Atalanta has managed great that precious advantage found at the beginning of the match after the scare for the goal eaten by Diaz (also good Berisha on the occasion) and after the scream of joy remained in the throat for the turn of Cristante's head ended dramatically on the bottom.
Atalanta therefore closes in first place in the toughest group of the whole Europa League, and on Monday it will go to the draws of the sixteenth of the finals to be seeded. The dream continues.
