The Colombian Duvan Zapata, with his seventh league goal of the year, gave Atalanta a 2-1 win on Saturday at Cagliari and placed Gian Piero Gasperini’s team in the Champions League spots of the Italian Serie A.
Duván was the protagonist with a great play that opened the way for the 1-0 of the Croatian Mario Pasalic, six minutes into the game, and scored, on the brink of halftime, the final goal 2-1 after the momentary equalizer signed by the Brazilian Joao Pedro.
The Colombian striker, who had also scored against Manchester United in the Champions League last Wednesday, reached seven targets this league season.
