5 Trivia Questions About Torino-Atalanta

In which exact minute did Piccoli score in last season's match?

93rd

Roberto Piccoli’s only goal in his stint for Atalanta’s first team is quite a stunner: he found his scoring ways as early as in Matchday 1 of the past season, in full “zona Cesarini” nonetheless, to give Atalanta the three points after a straining match with his tie-breaker – as Belotti levelled Muriel’s banger. The young striker, now in force at Empoli, broke the deadlock in the 93rd.

From how far did Iličić score in Atalanta’s 0-7 win over Torino?

50,83 m/55,59 yards

Josip Iličić scored an iconic goal at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino: after Lukic and Djidji collided, the referee cued the free-kick in and Josip, spotting Sirigu in the outfield, didn't think twice about it and, despite the 50,83 metres/55,59 yards between him and the goal, fired the ball away to score a goal worth playing back on loop time and again.

Who is Atalanta’s all-time top scorer in matches against Torino?

Muriel

On the strength of his 7 goals in only 6 matches ever since joining Atalanta, Luis Muriel is the black-and-blue all-time top scorer in matches played against Torino: the impressive figures flaunted by our Cafetero striker stem from, respectively, a brace scored within 8 minutes in the 0-7 walkover back in the 2020 season; single goals scored both in the away fixture (namely, in the 2-4 win in Torino) and the home match (in the 3-3 draw at the Gewiss Stadium) during the 2020/2021 campaign. As for the past season, Luis scored another goal in Atalanta’s 2-1 win at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino and a brace in the 4-4 draw in Bergamo. In the meantime, Muriel also served 4 assists: Lucho’s offensive contribution against Torino amounts to 1 goal (either scored or assisted) every 27 minutes.
