BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – After giving a time to the opponents, the Palladino Atalanta reacts in the recovery and re-excises the Udinese. At the New Balance Arena, the 2-2 final testifies to the great heart of the Nerazzurri, but risks to sanction the end of their chase in fourth place. Udinese had gone on the double advantage, thanks to the networks of Kristensen and Davis: a super Scamacca, however, turned off with a doublet the dreams of glory of the Friulians.
A compact and very imprecise Atalanta struggle in the first time to discard the defensive block of Udinese. The Nerazzurri lack concreteness and velocity and only Sulemana, at sprazzi, is able to bring some danger on the opponent’s trequarti, putting in difficulty especially the exotic Mlacic. The Runjaic boys’ race plan, on the other hand, succeeds perfectly and, at 40′, here comes the network of 1-0. After venting the goal in the opening with the razor of Heyzibue, finished in the pole, Kristensen thinks about the fractional ending to punish the corner football atalanta. The axis to Zaniolo’s kiss, in fact, is collected on the second pole by the Danish who, at the head, manages to suck Carnesecchi: in the action emerges the serious error of Kossounou who does not notice the arrival behind the opponent and is too light in the marking.
In the shooting, the Bianconeri are not frightened by the angry return of the hosts (internal pole of Scamacca with a beautiful right) and with cynicism find the doubling to 55′. Kolasinac is good at masonrying the shots of Davis and Zarraga, but he can’t do anything on the second attempt of English, good at fishing the bass angle on the continuation of the action. As there is nothing to defend now, Palladino goes to defense four and puts Krstovic at the side of Scamacca. The latter will be the man of providence for the Atalanta.
After playing a bad first time and after the inner pole at 50′, the centerpiece realizes a double. The Italian striker goes in goal the first time to 75′, detaching in third time in the center of the opponent’s area: it repeats then to 79′ always head, picking Okoye’s rejection on Krstovic’s shooting. In the final, the boys of Palladino believe in victory, however, giving too much shelter to Udinese. At 89′ Carnesecchi he must intervene to save on Buksa; at 93′, instead, Ekkelenkamp loses the moment to kick at the height of the floppy.
The paris keeps the Atalanta in seventh place, at 46 points. To wait now the Goddess will be Bayern Munich, in the eighth of Champions scheduled Tuesday evening.
