3-0 win at Lecce Puts Nerazzurri on Course for Season Finale

The Nerazzurri resumed their Serie A campaign in style with a commanding 3–0 win at Lecce: Scalvini, Krstović, and Raspadori all found the net as Atalanta secured a convincing triumph at the Stadio Via del Mare on Matchday 31 of the 2025/26 Serie A Enilive. Rising to 53 points, the Nerazzurri couldn’t have hoped for a stronger restart to their league season.

After an early effort from Fofana sailed well over, the first real chance fell to the Nerazzurri in the 19th minute, as De Ketelaere linked up neatly with Krstović before being denied by Falcone. Atalanta broke the deadlock in the 29th minute: De Ketelaere threaded a pass into the run of Scalvini, who skipped past his marker inside the box and drove a powerful right-footed shot across goal and beyond Falcone to make it 1-0. After a header had cleared the bar, Krstović threatened again in the 42nd minute at the end of a sharp, vertical Nerazzurri move, but the Lecce goalkeeper was equal to it, turning the ball behind for a corner.

The second goal came in the 59th minute: De Ketelaere slid a precise pass through the middle to Krstović, who took a controlled touch and neatly tucked the ball into the corner, doubling the lead against his former club. The third goal arrived in the 73rd minute: first, Falcone denied Éderson, but he couldn’t keep out the follow-up as Raspadori struck a precise left-footed shot under the crossbar, expertly set up by Pašalić.W
