Atalanta got a precious point against Fiorentina in Florence, managing to turn the game around in the second half. The result, 1‑1, was decided by the first goal of Belgian midfielder Charles deKetelaere, who ended his long absence from scoring with a shot from outside the box assisted by LukaszZalewski.
The match was characterized by a tense atmosphere and a series of key moments. After a difficult start, Atalanta showed greater determination, especially in the defensive phase, which limited Fiorentina's opportunities. deKetelaere's goal was a turning point, not only for the team but also for the player, who had struggled to find his rhythm under Gian Piero Sarri's new philosophy.
Sarri decided to use the midfielder in a more central position, transforming the 4-3-3 into a 4-2-3-1. DeKetelaere, now in a second striker position behind Krstović, was able to express himself better, proving to be a key element of the new tactical scheme. His performance dispelled doubts about his staying in the team, paving the way for a possible stay beyond the summer.
The match ended with Atalanta leaving with a point, improving their position in the standings. Sarri, who showed confidence in his group, underlined the importance of maintaining cohesion and discipline to face the next challenges. With the season still underway, Atalanta will need to continue to consolidate their form to achieve their goals.
