🎥 Scamacca ends 14-month drought with stunner, Leipzig KO 🤯

Atalanta beat Leipzig 2-1 away, but beyond the result, the most important news is the return to goal of Gianluca Scamacca: in the net after 14 months. The last goal with La Dea in front of the cameras dated back to the last day of the 2023/2024 season.


The cruciate ligament rupture in August 2024 had made him miss almost the entire pre-championship last year, then a very brief return to the field: a 5-minute presence in February 2025 in Serie A. Shortly after, a long muscle stop arrived until this summer.


A "Scamacca-style" goal and Bernasconi's volley

The fast-forward takes us directly to the 85th minute in the friendly match against Leipzig: nice action and left-footed shot from outside the area, Gulácsi remains still and the ball enters at the corner at mid-height. A goal in Scamacca's style.

To overturn Leipzig (ahead since the 13th minute with a nice goal from Openda) was an unexpected volley: a volley from outside the area by Bernasconi, left winger born in 2003 who has not yet officially debuted in the first team.

Noteworthy is the good performance of Scalvini, also returning after last season's injuries. Atalanta by Juric therefore passes the first friendly test, waiting for the next challenges against Cologne (August 9) and Juventus (August 16).
