Atalanta lost 1-0 to Lazio due to a costly substitution mistake. Towards the end of the march, Gasperini mistakenly replaced Lookman instead of Ederson.
The error happened when Lookman’s number appeared on the board. Gasperini could not undo the mistake.
After the match, he admitted the mix-up to DAZN. “It was a mistake,” Gasperini said. “Only Retegui should have been subbed off.”
The confusion between “Ede” (Ederson) and “Ade” (Lookman) cost Atalanta the game. It hurt their title chances.
Atalanta’s loss to Lazio highlights the need for clear communication in high-stakes matches. Gasperini’s error serves as a reminder.
