Boga Strike Lifts Juventus Past Atalanta To Reclaim Fourth

Overview

• Juventus, which won 1-0 away in Bergamo on Saturday, did so through Jérémie Boga’s early second-half finish after Emil Holm’s cross forced a scramble.
• Atalanta controlled long spells and fired 22 shots but hit the target only three times, with Michele Di Gregorio’s reflex stop on Berat Djimsiti preserving the clean sheet.
• Luciano Spalletti called Boga’s strike a bit of a coincidence and said his team spent the first half chasing rather than building.
• The coach said Kenan Yıldız trained below level this week, with Bremer, Khéphren Thuram and Lloyd Kelly also managing issues, which helped drive a pragmatic 3-4-2-1 selection.
• After Inter’s 4-3 win over Como on Sunday, Juventus moved back into fourth and now face Bologna and AC Milan with a clearer path to Champions League qualification.
