In the Serie A fixture held on 04 December 2023 at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino, Torino faced Atalanta in a keenly contested match. Looking at the statistics, Torino emerged victorious with a 3-0 thrashing of Atalanta.

Goals, unsurprisingly, were a significant factor in determining the outcome of this match. Torino's Duvan Zapata scored two crucial goals, the first at 21:18 of the first half, and the other quite late into the game at 95:00 of the second half. Arnaldo Antonio Sanabria Ayala contributed to the victory with a critical goal at 55:55, which was a penalty. Notably, both of Zapata's goals were assisted by Nikola Vlasic, reflecting a solid on-field cooperation between them.

Despite the significant lead in goals, the shooting accuracy of Torino was not notably superior; they managed 5 shots on target out of a total of 9 shots. Atalanta had 4 shots on target out of a total of 10 shots. The difference in conversion ratio is quite pronounced, suggesting a more clinical finishing from Torino compared to Atalanta.

Torino’s ability to capitalise on set-piece scenarios is evidenced by their number of corner kicks, with 4 registered in their favour, which probably imposed pressure on the Atalanta defense.

With regard to discipline, each team was shown the yellow card twice, whilst no red cards were issued. Torino's Karol Linetty and Alessandro Buongiorno were cautioned in the first half, and Atalanta's Giorgio Scalvini and Marten De Roon were each issued a yellow card in the first and second halves, respectively. This aspect of the game didn’t substantially influence the end result as both teams were equally disciplined.

Another dimension worth looking at is the fouls committed by each team. Atalanta committed 14 fouls, slightly more than Torino's 12. Despite this, neither team was able to leverage the free-kick opportunities into any scoring action.

In terms of offsides, both teams were cautious, given there were only a total of 3 instances, two against Torino and one against Atalanta.

In conclusion, the game's decisive factors were the goal conversion rate and the effective use of set-piece scenarios by Torino. Despite the close number in shots and fouls committed, Torino capitalized on their chances, converting more shots on target into goals, thus producing a clear win over Atalanta. Torino’s clinical finishing and effective use of opportunities created by their teammates, particularly between Zapata and Vlasic, made the difference in this game.
