Teun Koopmeiners' inch-perfect first-time strike from the edge of the box in the 20th minute gave Atalanta the lead after they had just destroyed Monza 3-0 before the international break. After the Dutchman scored the game's first goal, Fiorentina were more engaged and began making attempts on Marco Carnesecchi's goal. Giacomo Bonaventura, a former Atalanta midfielder, scored an incredible half-volley goal from within the box for Italiano's squad in the 35th minute to tie the score. Just before halftime, Lucas Martinez Quarta scored a powerful header to complete the comeback.
After eight minutes of the second half, Gian Piero Gasperini's team reset the game. In 2023–24, Ademola Lookman made quick work of his defenders before unleashing an unstoppable low shot that beat Pietro Terracciano. The game might have gone any way since neither team gave up on its offensive goals.
