Plucky Pisa denies Atalanta the win
Atalanta endured a frustrating start to its Serie A season with Pisa holding on for a 1-1 draw at Gewiss Stadium.
Gianluca Scamacca curled in an equaliser early in the second half for Atalanta, but Ivan Juric's team could not forge a winner in his first league match in charge.
Isak Hien's own goal had put the newly promoted visitors ahead in the 26th minute, with Atalanta – without wantaway forward Ademola Lookman – unable to make some early dominance count.
Scamacca eventually showed his quality with a controlled finish to equalise five minutes in the second half, though despite registering 21 shots in total, Atalanta could not find another breakthrough.
It means that Atalanta failed to win its opening Serie A match of a season for the first time since 2017.
Juric has big shoes to fill, with Gian Piero Gasperini having left for Roma, and will hope to see more clinical finishing when his team head to Parma next week.
