## Atalanta Stuns Napoli 3-0 In Serie A Upset

### Goals from Duvan Zapata, Teun Koopmeiners, and Rasmus Hojlund secure a famous victory for the Bergamo club

Atalanta pulled off a stunning 3-0 victory over Napoli in Serie A on Sunday, ending the Partenopei's unbeaten run and moving into fourth place in the standings.

Duvan Zapata put Atalanta ahead in the 23rd minute, tapping in a rebound after Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret parried Luis Muriel's shot. Teun Koopmeiners doubled the lead in the 35th minute with a brilliant long-range strike, and Rasmus Hojlund sealed the win in the 55th minute with a close-range finish.

Napoli, who had won their previous eight games in all competitions, were stunned by Atalanta's high-pressing style and clinical finishing. The victory is a major boost for Atalanta, who have now won three of their last four games.
