In a tightly contested match in the Coppa Italia, Bologna secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Atalanta, largely benefitting from disciplined defensive work and a pivotal goal early in the second half. Despite Atalanta's effort, their inability to convert any of the four corner kicks into goals was a crucial aspect of their defeat. The solitary goal from Bologna at 01:20:01 in the second half exemplified their efficiency, capitalizing on the limited number of opportunities they created.

Statistically, Atalanta's dominating possession and attacking intent were evident with their 10 fouls compared to Bologna’s 4, showing their more aggressive approach in trying to break through Bologna’s defense. However, this aggression didn’t translate into a productive offense, with no goals to show for their endeavors. They appeared to lack the crucial cutting edge in the final third, a stark contrast to Bologna's clinical conversion of the few chances they had.

The dynamic of the match also saw discipline playing a role, with Bologna receiving two yellow cards compared to Atalanta’s one. These bookings suggested some lapses in Bologna's composure, particularly after taking the lead. Nonetheless, Bologna managed to maintain their defensive structure, which was pivotal to their success. The balanced offsides count indicates both teams faced challenges in timing their attacking runs, a testament to the solid tactical setups defensively from both sides.
