Starting against Juventus Sportiello (illness) made the XI to face Juventus Sunday.

MAY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes once against Roma Sportiello had four clearances, three punches, and no saves and allowed one goal in Monday's 3-1 victory against Roma.

Impact Unlike during Atalanta's previous game, Sportiello played 90 minutes to log his first clean sheet of the 2022-23 Serie A. Juan Musso (face) will be unavailable across October. Thus, this month is an excellent opportunity for Sportiello to show his goalkeeping capability.

Clean sheet in relief Sportiello logged two clearances and kept a clean sheet in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Roma.

Impact Sportiello replaced Juan Musso in the 8th minute after Musso appeared to be dealing with a head injury. He wasn't really challenged by the Roma attack during his 82 minutes on the pitch, and his Atalanta side were able to come away with an uneventful 1-0 victory.

APRIL 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starts, maintains clean sheet Sportiello maintained the clean sheet across 90 minutes during a 0-0 draw Sunday versus Genoa.

Impact Sportiello started in place of a healthy Juan Musso, presumably because the opposing Genoa team logged only one win across its previous 28 domestic-league games. The backup goalkeeper was able to record his first Serie A clean sheet this year.

Shines against Juventus Sportiello had five saves, two clearances and one punch and conceded once in Sunday's 1-1 draw over Juventus.

Impact Sportiello reclaimed his spot as top backup during the week after Francesco Rossi had come off the bench in the previous game, and solidified it with an impressive performance. He parried away multiple potent efforts on goal, in particular by Dusan Vlahovic. He could get some spot starts in Serie A if Atalanta advance in Europa League. Juan Musso will be back between the sticks for Sunday's away game against Fiorentina.
