The quarterfinal encounter, played on Wednesday, February 5, 2026, at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo, saw Atalanta comfortably dispatch the Italian giants, with Sulemana making a decisive impact after coming off the bench.
Atalanta opened the scoring in the 27th minute when striker Gianluca Scamacca calmly converted from the penalty spot, giving the home side a deserved lead heading into halftime.
Kamaldeen Sulemana, who started the match on the bench despite an impressive performance against Como in the league last weekend, was introduced in the second half. The Ghanaian winger needed just seven minutes to make his presence felt, doubling Atalanta’s lead in the 77th minute with a composed finish that effectively ended Juventus’ hopes of a comeback.
The goal marked Sulemana’s third of the season across all competitions. Notably, two of his goals this campaign have come against Juventus, with the other strike recorded against Torino in league action.
Mario Pašalić put the result beyond doubt in the 85th minute, sealing a comprehensive win for Atalanta and confirming their place in the final four of the competition.
The emphatic victory comes amid speculation surrounding Sulemana’s future at the club, with reports linking him to a possible move away. His performance against Juventus, however, underlined his value to the Bergamo-based side.
Atalanta now join Inter Milan as the two teams already qualified for the Coppa Italia semifinals. The remaining semifinal spots will be contested by Bologna, Lazio, Como and Napoli.
