BERGAMO (ITALPRESS) – A hard-fought but valuable victory. Atalanta wins 2-1 against Udinese thanks to Pasalic’s goal and Tourè’s own goal after a first half in which Gasperini’s team struggled a lot: eighth victory in the league, sixth consecutive, but above all first place in the standings together with Napoli, waiting for the big match at San Siro against Inter. On the return from the break there will be the away match in Parma, another match in which La Dea wants to continue to impress.Lots of chances, two goals cancelled and a fairly high pace. The usual Nerazzurri domination was managed by the Bianconeri (today in yellow jersey) throughout the first half, Gasperini’s band struggled to find the right solution: the first ring was by Retegui, then the number 32 found the goal of the lead, but Di Bello then annulled the action because the ball touched Lookman, in an obvious offside position. The guests immediately responded with two conclusions, one by Davis the other by Thauvin: in both cases Carnesecchi overcame himself with two excellent interventions. In the second part of the first half Gasperini was forced to lose two players to injury: Djimsiti exited because of a sprained ankle injury, Zappacosta because of a muscle soreness in his left calf. It took the Bergamasks five minutes to turn around a contest that was taking the wrong tracks: first a collective effort, with Pasalic taking advantage of Bellanova’s pass, then the former Inter player dished out an assist for Touré’s own goal. The double blow cut off the legs of the Friulans, who were no longer able to sketch a reaction, the Nerazzurri on the other hand coming close to the third goal on several occasions. Eight wins on the season, six defeats instead for the Bianconeri.
