AFCON 2025
Ademola Lookman featured for over 80 minutes for Atalanta as La Dea played a one-all draw against Juventus at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.
Lookman had quite an average performance on a cold Tuesday night for Atalanta.
However, Mateo Retegui steeped up and rescued a point for the home side with less than 15 minutes to the end of the match.
Retegui scored on the 78th minute to draw level after the visitors took the lead on the 54th minute.
The first half was somewhat conservative as both sides tried to find their rhythm.
However, the second half came alive a few minutes after the restart.
French defender Pierre Kalulu gave the Old Lady the lead with well-taken shot into the bottom-left corner of Carnesecchi’s goal.
The Old Lady were resolute in defense and were almost coasting to victory until Retegui’s equalizer.
Raoul Bellanova rose quickly to head a ball towards Retegui in the box and the Italian striker planted another to beat Michele Di Gregorio in goal.
Marco Carnesecchi pulled a magnificent save to stop Manuel Locatelli’s header in the 83rd minute.
Kenan Yildiz came close to scoring a late winner but his shot in the box went wide off target as Atalanta survived with a point on the night.
La Dea remain winless in the new year after two Serie A matches.
