L’Atalanta ends the first half of the match with the lead againstEmpoli valid for the 34th round of Serie A. The match has been decided so far by a goal by Pasalic on a penalty kick in the 42nd minute. Fairly balanced first half at the Gewiss Stadium, where to see a real scoring opportunity you have to wait for the one that actually decides the match at half-time. First of all, we only note Walukiewicz’s injury among the guests, who remains down in the 22nd minute and is replaced by Cacace shortly afterwards. Probable muscle strain for the Polish defender of Empoli.
El Bilal Tour is Atalanta’s most dangerous player
Contact between Pezzella and Tourè in the area in the 41st minute and penalty for the Dea: specialist Mario Pasalic takes the spot, coolly making no mistakes and putting the home team ahead. Empoli felt the pinch and Gasperini’s team could have doubled their lead already in the 48th minute: great verticalization by Lookman for Tourè who flew towards the area, but was closed by two defenders and widened for Miranchuk. The Russian loads the shot, but is blocked by Caprile. Danger averted and game still open, but Nicola’s troop is one down.
