The match witnessed goals from Aleksei Miranchuk, Gianluca Scamacca, and Teun Koopmeiners for Atalanta, while Napoli struggled to convert their chances despite hitting the woodwork twice.

Atalanta displayed their determination from the start, as Miranchuk nearly scored within two minutes, hitting the post after bypassing Napoli's goalkeeper Alex Meret.

Although Napoli attempted to respond, it was Atalanta who seized the lead through Miranchuk, capitalizing on a box scramble to net the opener.

Despite Osimhen's efforts to breach Atalanta's defense, Napoli couldn't find the equalizer, and Scamacca doubled Atalanta's lead just before halftime.

Napoli's chances were further dashed when Piotr Zielinski's strong volley hit the post early in the second half, with Meret denying their rebound attempt.

Atalanta remained dangerous on the counter, ultimately sealing the victory with Koopmeiners' clinical finish.
