Ghana winger Kamaldeen Sulemana was in scintillating form on Sunday afternoon as Atalanta BC cruised to a dominant 3-0 victory over Torino at the Stadio Olimpico di Torino.
The 23-year-old winger opened his Serie A account in spectacular fashion, marking a career milestone while leading his side to another key win in the Italian top flight.
The match got off to a fast start, with Atalanta edging ahead in the 30th minute.
Serbian midfielder Lazar Samardzic played a perfect through ball to Nikola Krstovic, who expertly slotted home to give the visitors a well-deserved lead.
Just minutes later, Sulemana made his presence felt. Following a scramble in the box, the Ghanaian reacted instinctively, seizing a loose ball and firing it past Torino’s goalkeeper to double Atalanta’s advantage.
His clinical finish not only sealed his first-ever Serie A goal but also served as a reminder of his sharp attacking instincts.
Sulemana wasn’t done there. In addition to his goal, the winger also played a key role in the build-up to Atalanta’s third, showcasing his versatility by providing a crucial assist. His overall performance earned him the man-of-the-match award and further solidified his growing reputation in Italy’s top league.
The result was a massive boost for Atalanta as they continue to build momentum in Serie A, with Sulemana’s dazzling display proving the perfect headline to a dominant away win.
After the match, Sulemana expressed his joy at scoring his first goal for the club but was quick to emphasize the importance of the team’s collective effort. “It’s a great feeling to score, but the most important thing is that we won as a team,” he said. “We’re building something special here, and I’m excited to contribute more.”
Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini also praised Sulemana for his performance, calling him a key asset for the squad. The win puts Atalanta in strong contention in the league, and with Sulemana continuing to find his rhythm, the Bergamo-based club will be a team to watch this season.
