The decisive goal was scored by Davide Zapakosta in the 37th minute of the match.
This is the "goddess"'s first triumph in Serie A after exactly a month, when they were better than Napoli at this same stadium.
Montenegrin national team player Nikola Krstović played the entire match and had two great chances, but he was unlucky at the beginning of the second half when he hit the goal frame.
Atalanta is seventh in the table, one point behind Roma, who have a game in hand, while Verona is at the bottom with 18 points, the same number as Pisa.
Our other national team member also achieved a triumph – Adam Marušić's Lazio defeated Bologna away (2:0) and recorded their third consecutive victory, but their first at the "Dal'Ara" in eight years.
Bologna failed to defeat two Roman giants in just three days, having previously eliminated Roma in the round of 16 of the Europa League.
Perhaps the outcome would have been different if Riccardo Orsolini had taken a penalty in the 51st minute – his 11-meter shot was saved by Edoardo Motta.
The penalty came in the 72nd minute, when Kenneth Taylor gave the visitors the lead.
Just ten minutes later, the same player put an end to the match.
Marušić played all 90 minutes.
With this triumph, Lazio overtook Bologna in eighth place (one point ahead).
