Atalanta Sweep Past Lecce with Clinical 3–0 Away Win in Serie A

Atalanta Sweep Past Lecce with Clinical 3–0 Away Win in Serie A

Atalanta BC produced a composed and clinical performance to defeat US Lecce 3–0 away on Serie A matchday 31, tightening their grip on a European push in the 2025–26 campaign.

The visitors took control just before the half-hour mark. In the 29th minute, defender Giorgio Scalvini opened the scoring, finishing a move created by Charles De Ketelaere. The assist set the tone for De Ketelaere’s influential afternoon, with Atalanta carrying a 1–0 lead into the break.

Lecce sought a response immediately after half-time, introducing Omri Gandelman for Sadik Fofana at the restart, but Atalanta struck again before the hosts could establish momentum. On 59 minutes, Nikola Krstović doubled the advantage, again assisted by De Ketelaere, to put the Bergamo side firmly in command at 2–0.

Coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s side then turned to their bench to manage the game, with a double substitution in the 63rd minute seeing Giacomo Raspadori and Mario Pašalić replace Nicola Zalewski and Marten de Roon. The change paid off quickly: in the 73rd minute, Raspadori added Atalanta’s third, finishing from a Pašalić assist to seal a dominant away display.

Atalanta picked up two yellow cards, shown to captain Berat Djimsiti in the 47th minute and Davide Zappacosta in the 70th. Zappacosta was then replaced by Raoul Bellanova, while Djimsiti made way for Odilon Kossounou as the visitors saw out the result.

Lecce made further attacking changes — including the introductions of Konan N’Dri, Lassana Coulibaly and Nikola Štulić — but were unable to break down a disciplined Atalanta side.
