Atalanta BC and Como settled for a 1-1 draw at the Gewiss Stadium, extending their respective unbeaten streaks in Serie A. The match saw Atalanta dominate the early stages with high pressing, which Como's defense struggled to cope with.

Atalanta scored an early goal when Lazar Samardzic slotted the ball into the back of the net from 12 yards out after just six minutes, securing his first Serie A goal of the season. This early strike gave La Dea a 1-0 lead and set the tone for an intense match.

 

Atalanta's momentum continued, and they came close to doubling their advantage on the 15-minute mark. Kamaldeen Sulemana's close-range effort was spectacularly cleared off the goal line, denying Atalanta a crucial second goal and keeping the opposition in the game.
