It ends 2-2 in Udine. Sottil’s team stops the advance of Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta, who are now at 21 points in the standings, one point above Napoli, who will be engaged at 18 against Alvini’s Cremonese.
At the Dacia Arena the game was released in the 36th minute of the first half, with Atalanta taking the lead with a goal from Lookman. An assist from Muriel, who in turn received the ball from Koopmeiners. The Colombian focuses on the defense and packs the pass for his teammate, who at that point only has to materialize, and he succeeds. A goal with a throw of 80 meters and three passes. Lookman is then cautioned by the referee Duties for excess of enthusiasm in the exultation. Lookman had combined his thumb and forefinger to mimic glasses, a customary celebration for the Atalanta player, which however the referee must have interpreted as a provocation towards the opposing supporters, hence the yellow card.
Atalanta doubles in the 56th minute on a penalty: Udogie naively tripping Muriel in the area. From the spot Muriel takes a powerful shot and makes no mistake: it is 0-2. At 66 ′ Udinese shortens the distance with a great free-kick from Deulofeu, who reopens the game. And in fact Perez doubles at 78 ‘and brings the situation back to balance. Udinese stops Atalanta and reaches 20 points in the standings, the same share as Napoli who will play in just over an hour. Sottil’s team is anything but a meteor at the moment.
