Atalanta, who won the kick-off, took the lead in attacking Fiorentina's half.

The ball quickly passed through the midfield in the constant passing of the Atalanta players, and the Fiorentina players initially intended to intercept in the midfield, but when they saw the speed of the opposition's pass, they decisively decided to shrink the defence and play a counter-attack.

Doni accelerated along the left touchline to try to break through, but the ball was stabbed out by Billindley, and then Mofeo took a corner, Lucarelli, who was standing in the box, jumped high and was ready to shake his head, but Lucarelli did not get the power to get the ball over the crossbar, and Atalanta created a scoring opportunity first.

And Fiorentina is not to be outdone, immediately organized a counterattack, Effenberg got the ball and distributed the ball to Rui Costa on the left side for the first time, the Portuguese master saw that no one rushed to defend himself, observed the defense situation in the Atalanta penalty area and decisively sent a through ball, the ball penetrated the Atalanta back line and was successfully obtained by Ronaldo in the anti-offside position, but the alien's shot flew out of the bottom line by the post, and Atalanta escaped.

The game has just begun, and both sides have declared their existence with a shot on goal, which is so fast that it is not at all like the attacking frequency of the Italian team, which is enough to prove that these two teams are very serious about this Italian Super Cup final!

In the fifth minute, there was a brief cheer from the stands, but it quickly turned into a cry of regret: Batistuta smashed a corner kick from Costa into the Atalanta gate in the box, but the referee's whistle sounded at an inopportune time, and the referee decided that Batistuta had pushed down his defender before heading the goal, and the goal was invalidated.

Batistuta shook his head and smiled wryly, and did not go up to argue with the referee, after all, in the game now, the authority of the referee is unquestionable.

The game restarted and the ball was back at the feet of the Fiorentina players after a scramble.

Effenberg controlled the ball in the middle circle of the pitch, observed the position of the Atalanta players, and then raised his foot to pass the ball to Barty in front, who leaned on the opposing defender with his back to play the ball back to Ronaldo on the side.

The alien who got the ball began to accelerate and when he caught the attention of most of the Atalanta defenders and began to focus on him, the Brazilian flicked his right ankle and distributed the ball to the right side of the court.

Costa, who had just been pulled up to the right, received the pass and at just 24 years old he was at his most energetic, so he could cover the entire midfield despite playing as a midfielder.

A series of passes from the Fiorentina players had effectively torn apart Atalanta's defence, so when Costa received the ball on the right side of the penalty area, there wasn't even a single opposing player around him to interfere!

When a player like Costa gets a space where he is well positioned and no one comes up to defend it, the accuracy of his passes can be said to be surprisingly high!

Observing the situation in the middle, Costa picked up his right foot and sent a cross with a great curl and a good point, the ball fell right between the two Atalanta central defenders, Batistuta jumped high to meet the ball that was flying towards him, a lion shook his head and headed the ball towards the Atalanta goal!

Despite the Atalanta goalkeeper's save, the ball grazed his gloves and flew headlong into the middle of the gate!

1 to 0! Fiorentina were the first to break the deadlock with captain Gabriel Batistuta!

After the restart, Atalanta, unwilling to be defeated, launched a counterattack, a group of young people wanted to quickly equalize the score on the field, and the veteran Lentini was willing to stop this impatience, but his new signing status made his persuasion not so effective.

Well, at least for young people like Mofeo who don't know what it's like to be sad yet.

Because of Atalanta's aggressiveness, the pressure on their backline has become more and more intense, and after Montero's departure, the level of Atalanta's backline has dropped by more than a notch.

And Atalanta's offensive did not cause much trouble to Fiorentina, who contracted the defense, Mofeo was followed by Di Biagio, Doni wanted to break through on the side first to find a way to solve Billindeli, who was inseparable from him, after the car accident, Lentini obviously couldn't take Fortunato in a one-on-one situation, and Lucarelli, who was in charge of attacking the city at the front, was a pure shooter who needed midfield support, and naturally died down when the three passers behind him were strangled to death by Fiorentina.

This, combined with Davies' tireless efforts to fill holes in defence, has seen Fiorentina not threaten the door a few times in the following period, with Atalanta's attack often being disrupted by Fiorentina players before advancing into the opposition box.

Atalanta's attack did not improve, which meant that Fiorentina's chance had come again.

In the 39th minute of the game, Mofeo was tackled by Davies and Di Biagio, and Costa, who got the ball, made a long diagonal pass in the middle, and Ronaldo, who was pulled to the right, received the pass and made a fake action to accelerate the breakthrough.

Ronaldo's feint stunned the Atalanta defender opposite him at once, after all, the alien has been in Italian football for a whole season, but his lightning breakthrough has left an indelible impression on many people's hearts.

The alien took advantage of this opportunity to pull the ball back and then passed it to Davis who was plugged in from behind at high speed!

I have to say that Ronaldo's pass is very smart, Atalanta from attack to defense is at this time when the defense is weak, several defenders are trying their best to retreat to organize the defense, and the attention to the defense at the top of the arc of the penalty area is inevitably ignored, and Ronaldo, who found this, just passed the ball to this position!

At this time, Davis, who had already rushed to the front of the Atlanta penalty area, turned sideways, picked up his right foot, and directly chose to shoot from a distance in the face of the flying ball!

The ball was slammed out by Davis's force, heading straight for the top left corner of the goal!

The Atalanta goalkeeper even threw himself into the air in order to block Davis's attack! However, all of his efforts proved to be in vain, as the ball had already crossed the goal line!

Two to zero! Fiorentina extend their lead!
