They are on the way to the conquest of the title. Atalanta certified this Wednesday his presence in the final of the Italian Cup after eliminating Napoli in the second leg, achieving a 3-1 at home thanks to the Colombian’s goals Duvan Zapata Y Matteo Pessina, author of a doublet.
Bergamo’s side did not go beyond a goalless draw in the first leg, played at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium seven days ago, but in the second leg, they put an end to their doubts with an unappealable victory. Those led by Gian Piero Gasperini could have thrashed the Neapolitans if they had been somewhat more successful.
It was the Colombian striker Zapata who opened the account at 10 ‘, opening the scoring with a violent shot from outside the area that could not be contained by his compatriot David Ospina.
Just six minutes later, Matteo Pessina widened the gap for the homeowner after an assist from Duván. Pessina himself, in the final section, sealed the 3-1 that raised doubts when the Mexican Hirving ‘Chuky’ Lozano discounted.
Atalanta will be able to opt for a title like two seasons ago, on the same stage, although this time its rival will not be Lazio but Juventus from Cristiano Ronaldo. It will be the fifth final for Atalanta, which will seek the second Cup of its record after the one achieved in the 1962-63 season.
