Atalanta Rise To Serie A Summit With Comfortable Parma Victory

November 24, (THEWILL) – Atalanta claimed their position at the summit of Serie A, following an impressive 3-1 victory against Parma, extending their dominant run to 11 matches without defeat. The triumph marked their sixth consecutive win across all competitions, demonstrating their exceptional form in the 2024/2025 season.

The visitors doubled their advantage in the 39th minute through Ederson, who finished a well-constructed move involving Lookman and Matteo Ruggeri. Marco Carnesecchi’s outstanding goalkeeping performance preserved Atalanta’s lead heading into the interval, though Parma responded swiftly after the break when Matteo Cancellieri scored with a powerful strike in the 50th minute.

Lookman extinguished Parma’s momentum by registering Atalanta’s third goal, converting Juan Cuadrado’s precise delivery to restore the two-goal margin. The evening concluded positively for Gian Piero Gasperini’s squad with Giorgio Scalvini making his return from injury during the closing stages.

The result positions Atalanta level on points with Inter Milan at the top of Serie A, while Parma remain in 13th position, three points clear of the relegation positions. This victory further strengthens Atalanta’s credentials in what continues to be a compelling Serie A campaign.
