Two huge defensive mistakes secured Atalanta’s 3-0 victory against Napoli for the 1st time since December 2021, opening up a 5-point gap over their European chasing clubs in 6th place.

• A massive away win against the reigning champions ✅
• Winless run ended ✅
• Top-4 ambitions back on ✅@Atalanta_BC made the most of the break it seems 😅#NapoliAtalanta pic.twitter.com/kMUNK5neKb— Lega Serie A (@SerieA_EN) March 30, 2024
Aleksey Miranchuk scored the 1st goal in the match in the 26th minute after Mario Pasalic’s assist as Gianluca Scamacca doubled the away side lead at the end of the 1st half after Aleksey Miranchuk’s assist.
We didn’t see another goal until the 88th minute when Teun Koopmeiners goal secured the 3 points for Atalanta and the classic triumph against Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
Atalanta are in 6th place with 50 points after 29 matches – 1 behind 5th AS Roma and 4 behind 4th placed Bologna.
Napoli are in 7th place with 45 points after 30 games as Partenopei are without a victory in their last 3 matches in Serie A and are getting away from the places that secure European football next season.
Biggest Atalanta win in Naples since 1956. A single point from CL place with a game in hand. Coppa semis next. Hien excellent against frustrated Osimhen, woodwork and Carnesecchi good too. Overlooked by Italy, Scamacca on the scoresheet again
