Atalanta 0-3 Sassuolo: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of Atalanta 0-3 Sassuolo in the Serie A on Sunday, 09 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Atalanta’s home defeat to Sassuolo, ending 0-3, was a stark contrast to their recent form, which included two draws and a loss. The result was surprising given Atalanta’s superior possession and recent performances, yet they failed to convert dominance into goals. Sassuolo, on the other hand, capitalised on their opportunities, extending their run of mixed results with a convincing victory. This win breaks their pattern of inconsistent form, showcasing their ability to perform away from home against a higher-ranked team.

The match saw Sassuolo exploit Atalanta’s defensive frailties, ending the latter’s hopes of building momentum. No Atalanta player managed to stand out, with the team struggling to create meaningful chances despite their possession. Sassuolo’s clinical finishing and strategic play disrupted Atalanta’s rhythm, highlighting areas for improvement in their upcoming fixtures.

Atalanta dominated possession with 67% compared to Sassuolo’s 33%, yet this control did not translate into scoring opportunities. They secured four corners to Sassuolo’s one, indicating pressure in the attacking third, but failed to capitalise. Sassuolo, despite less possession, were more effective in their dribbling, achieving a 27% success rate compared to Atalanta’s 55%. The match statistics suggest Atalanta’s inability to convert possession into goals, while Sassuolo’s efficiency in key moments defined the game’s outcome.

Sassuolo’s victory was defined by three crucial moments: a penalty in the 29th minute and goals in the 47th and 66th minutes. These moments shifted the game’s momentum decisively in Sassuolo’s favour. The early penalty set the tone, while the subsequent goals in the second half sealed Atalanta’s fate, showcasing Sassuolo’s clinical finishing.

Atalanta deployed a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Marco Carnesecchi in goal and a back three of Odilon Kossounou, Isak Hien, and Honest Ahanor. Despite their solid defensive setup, they were unable to prevent Sassuolo’s scoring. The midfield and attack, led by Éderson, Mario Pasalić, and Ademola Lookman, failed to break down Sassuolo’s defence, contributing to their lacklustre performance.

Sassuolo lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Arijanet Murić in goal and a backline of Sebastian Walukiewicz, Jay Idzes, Tarik Muharemović, and Fali Candé. Their midfield trio of Ismaël Koné, Nemanja Matic, and Kristian Thorstvedt provided stability and control, allowing the forwards Domenico Berardi, Andrea Pinamonti, and Alieu Fadera to exploit Atalanta’s weaknesses effectively.

Domenico Berardi was named Man of the Match for his pivotal role in Sassuolo’s victory. His involvement in the penalty and subsequent goals showcased his ability to influence the game’s outcome. Berardi’s performance was crucial in breaking down Atalanta’s defence and securing the three points for Sassuolo.
