Ghanaian forward Kamaldeen Sulemana was among the goals for Atalanta as they beat Juventus to reach the final four of the 2025/26 Coppa Italia.

Kamaldeen came off the bench and scored just seven minutes following his introduction as Atalanta recorded a 3-0 win over the Old Ladies at home.

The forward, who had been heavily linked with a move away from the club, started the game from the bench despite his impressive outing against Como last weekend.

Atalanta took the lead in the quarterfinal fixture in the 27th minute through Gianluca Scamacca from the penalty spot.

The home side went into the break with an advantage, which was later doubled in the 77th minute after Kamaldeen had gotten onto the scoresheet.

For the Ghanaian, the goal against Juventus was his third of the season across all competitions, having also scored against the same side in the league, while his other goal came against Torino.

Mario Pasalic wrapped up the win in the 85th minute, sending Atalanta into the semifinal of the cup competition.

Atalanta join Inter as the other side to have booked a place in the next round of the competition, while Bologna, Lazio, Como and Napoli will be fighting for the two remaining slots.
