Lookman scores and assists in Atalanta's Serie A debut win

Posted : 16 September 2024

Atalanta secured a dramatic 3-2 win over Fiorentina in Serie A, thanks to a stellar display by Ademola Lookman. The Super Eagles winger had an impressive debut for the season, making significant contributions to his team's success.


In his first match of the season, Lookman was instrumental in Atalanta’s performance. He provided the crucial assist for the team’s opening goal and later netted the decisive third goal, showcasing his skill and impact on the field.


Fiorentina took an early lead with Martínez Quarta scoring in the 15th minute. However, Atalanta quickly responded with a goal from Mateo Retegui, who headed in a cross delivered by Lookman, equalizing the score.


Fiorentina regained the advantage in the 32nd minute with a goal from Moise Kean, assisted by Robin Gosens. This put the visitors back in front, adding to the intensity of the match.


Just before the break, Atalanta equalized once more with Charles De Ketelaere finishing a pass from Ederson in the 45th minute. This goal set the stage for a gripping second half.


A minute after the equalizer, Lookman gave Atalanta the lead for the first time in the match. He skillfully beat the Fiorentina goalkeeper at his near post, receiving a well-placed pass from De Ketelaere.


Despite Fiorentina’s attempts to recover, Atalanta held their ground, with Lookman playing the entire match. His standout performance not only secured the victory but also strengthened his position in the race for major individual accolades.


Lookman, who is among the 30 nominees for the Ballon d'Or, has furthered his case with a remarkable performance this season. Following a hat-trick in the UEFA Europa League final last campaign, his recent display against Fiorentina is expected to boost his chances for both the Ballon d'Or and the African Player of the Year award.
