Atalanta v Como: the stats report
Nerazzurri debuts for Kossounou and Vlahović
As pointed out by Opta Facts' Stats Perform report on the 2024/25 MD5 rescheduling against Como, not only did Atalanta score their 2,600th Serie A goal, but the Gewiss Stadium game was also marked by the Atalanta debut of Odilon Kossounou and Vanja Vlahović.
Contributing to 6 goals (4 scored and 2 assists) in his last four Serie A appearances, Ademola Lookman has thus bested his figures from his previous 11 games of the 2023-2024 campaign (1 more net to his name). Moreover, the Nerazzurri number 11 has found his scoring ways in four consecutive league features for the first time in his Serie A stint and has also reached a 100% accuracy rate from the spot having converted all the penalties he has taken.
Ever since his return at Atalanta in the 2021/22 campaign, Davide Zappacosta has become the only Italian black-and-blue player to have scored 8+ goals and provided 8+ assists in the Serie A (namely, 8 nets scored and nine key passes). Moreover, the black-and-blue wingback has scored 9 out of his 17 Serie A nets (amounting to 53% of the grand total) from outside the box. As a further trivia, all of Zappacosta's long-range goals during his stint in Bergamo (four) have been scored at the Gewiss Stadium.
Closing off with some individual figures from the Serie A's official Match Report: while Marten De Roon led the way for both successful passes in the final third (25) and most balls played (89), Kossounou was instead the benchmark for most successful passes overall (67).
