Atalanta suffered a 1-0 defeat against the in-form Bologna, with Ademola Lookman putting in a lackluster performance on Saturday.

Lookman’s missed opportunity to secure the lead proved crucial as he failed to capitalize on a clear counter, hitting the side-netting with Bologna’s goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski to beat.

Subsequently, the Nigerian was substituted in the 72nd minute, making way for Gianluca Scamacca.

Despite the 26-year-old’s prior contributions of six goals and three assists in 16 league appearances for Atalanta this season, this match showcased a less-than-ideal performance.

The decisive moment came in the 86th minute when Lewis Ferguson scored, sealing the victory for Bologna and leaving Atalanta to rue the wasted opportunity earlier in the game.

Bologna, celebrated their sixth consecutive home win, conceding only one goal during this impressive streak.
