Atalanta left it late to beat Bologna 1-0 in Serie A, snatching all three points with a goal in the 90th minute. It was an improbable win, as Bologna had controlled much of the game and looked the likelier side throughout.
The only goal arrived at the very end, when Atalanta finally made one of their rare forays forward count. Bologna dominated play and created the better chances, including a big chance missed, but could not break through, and they were made to pay for that wastefulness.
The statistics underline how one-sided the contest was: Bologna finished with 58% possession and 16 shots to Atalanta's six, while their expected goals total of 1.29 dwarfed the home side's 0.16. Yet Atalanta took their one big moment and came away with the win.
