Franck Kessié scores for Atalanta against Venezia

Franck Kessié scored in the Atalanta-Venezia match, marking his first Serie A goal in over four years. The Ivorian midfielder opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a chip shot following an assist from Nikola Krstović, beating goalkeeper Filip Stanković to give Atalanta a 1-0 lead.

This goal marks a significant milestone in Kessié's Italian career. His previous Serie A goal was scored on May 22, 2022, while playing for AC Milan against Sassuolo. Additionally, the goal serves as a symbolic return to his roots, as his last goal for Atalanta was scored on December 20, 2016, in a match against Empoli.
