Summary: Bologna - Atlanta 1: 0 (Sport 1)

Atlanta has made headlines in recent years thanks to its offensive football and the many goals scored in its games.

But since Spata's injury the team has had a very hard time scoring goals especially in the local league.

Last night, the team from Bergamo pulled out.

The 18-year-old striker came off the bench and won the game against Bologna with a winning goal in the 82nd minute.

Sisa's story is just amazing.

This boy played just four weeks ago in an amateur team from the eighth league (!) In Italy.

This is a group of foreign refugees seeking refuge in Italy.

A team of Atlanta scouts saw him play against Lecce in a friendly match and recommended joining him.

In late February he started training at the Atlanta Academy and was thrown into the water very quickly due to his team’s attacking distress.

In his debut in the reserve team he scored a double against AC Milan and also scored the winning goal against Napoli in 9.3.

Bobbin caught the attention of Gasparini, who decided to summon him to the senior squad because of a wounded strike that sidelined all the strikers in the squad except for Luis Muriel, whom he replaced yesterday.

He only needed 17 minutes to make his mark with a first and probably not last goal in this team.

After the final whistle Sisa was carried on the backs of his teammates and did not know his soul from happiness.

"I'm really happy for Sisa, because he gave his all in training," said team-mate Marir Demirel, "he deserved this goal and later he will get better."
