Gewiss Stadium, Bergamo
66th–90th Minute
66'–70'
The possession stat on the big screen climbed to seventy-nine percent as Atalanta settled into a rhythm that felt less like football and more like possession drill, the Demien–De Roon–Koopmeiners triangle locked into a pattern that Lecce couldn't break.
One touch sideways from Demien to De Roon.
De Roon back to Koopmeiners.
Koopmeiners forward again to Demien.
Demien diagonal to Hateboer.
Hateboer back inside to De Roon.
Eight touches in twelve seconds, the ball never staying still, never giving Lecce's exhausted midfield a chance to close the space, and every hoof upfield from their defenders dropped straight back to black-and-blue feet because Tolói and Demiral were winning every aerial duel without breaking sweat.
