Despite carrying the disadvantage of being the visiting team, Atalanta clearly dominated the Serie A match against Lecce at Via del Mare on 18th May 2024. The final score reading Lecce 0-2 Atalanta, clearly reflected the away team's superior performance in terms of statistics.

Atalanta's mastery was not only depicted in the number of goals scored but also in their 9 shots on target from a total of 19 attempted, indicating an impressive accuracy rate of just over 47%. Their shot efficiency was remarkable and played a part in the resulting victory. Although Lecce showed their effort by challenging the Atalanta goal with 11 attempts, only 3 were accurately on target which reflected their offensive struggles throughout the match.

Atalanta demonstrated fine teamwork through their two goals, with Charles De Ketelaere and Gianluca Scamacca both scoring and assisting each other, showcasing their offensive chemistry. However, Atalanta’s approach was a two-edged sword as the aggression also led to a higher number of fouls, tallying up a considerable count of 20. It also led to four players, Hans Hateboer, El Bilal Toure, Mario Pasalic and Rafael Toloi being shown the yellow card, an area the team could potentially work on to ensure discipline does not hinder their winning form.

Despite having just 2 corner kicks compared to Atalanta's five, Lecce managed to maintain an excellent ball control with far lesser fouls (7), which is a positive takeaway for the home team from this match. They also maintained a clean disciplinary record with no yellow cards issued. However, Lecce was offside once during the match which showed in their offensive difficulties.

In conclusion, Atalanta’s superior shot efficiency played a pivotal role in their victory over Lecce. Despite the discipline issues they faced due to high foul rate and yellow cards, their offensive chemistry and their number of shots on goal led to a well-deserved win. As the number of attempted shots could potentially have changed the outcome of the match, Lecce could aim to improve in this area. Both teams have some lessons to take away from this match and room to enhance their performances for future matches.
