Final result: Atalanta-Udinese 2-1
Okoye 6 – Reactive on a poisonous cross shot from Pasalic in the first half, but also with several exits to anticipate the Nerazzurri attackers. He can do little about the two goals that turn the score around.
Giannetti 5.5 – Joust in the zone of a tough opponent like Lookman, who contains without any particular problems at the start but suffers a lot after the interval. From 77′ Abankwah sv.
Biol 6 – Imperious in the center of the area, where he has the upper hand on several occasions with Retegui or others who appear in his area. Worse in the second half, like the rest of the department.
Touré 5 – Overall a good performance due to attention in the area, however ruined by the clumsy deflection which made it 2-1 for Gasperini’s team.
Update 6 – Less impactful than Kamara, doing his duty more in containment than in the push phase. From this point of view, slightly better in the second half.
Lovric 6 – Decisive in the battle in the midfield, but when he can also actively participates in the offensive action. Cala in the second half of the game. Dal 60′ Zarraga 5.5 – He should give liveliness back to the midfield with his entry, but he fails in his aim.
Karlstrom 6 – Lots of substance in the middle of the pitch, to stop the initiatives of Gasperini’s team in their tracks. A task he succeeds especially in the early stages of the game.
Payero 6 – Constant danger, with his offensive insertions. In one of these, he hits a sensational crossbar. Less enterprising as the minutes passed.
Kamara 7 – Clearly the best of his. He embellishes a dream first half with the goal that unlocks the match. A goal which, however, is not enough to bring home points. Dal 67′ Zemura 5.5 – He doesn’t guarantee his teammate’s push, sometimes even suffering in the defensive phase.
Thauvin 5,5 – Together with Davis, he forms an offensive tandem that often keeps the Atalanta backline apprehensive. When opportunities come his way, however, he isn’t cool enough in front of goal. From 67′ Lucca 5.5 – The weight of Runjaic’s attack increases, but he doesn’t have much chance to become dangerous.
Davis 6,5 – Runjaic’s surprise move, which turns out to be spot on. He won the duel with Hien by a landslide, working many balls for the team and also making himself dangerous. One of the few that doesn’t drop as the race goes on. From 77′ Bravo saves.
Kosta Runjaic 6 – Team on the upswing compared to the latest outings, but a super first half against Atalanta in this period is not enough. A turning point in the results will be needed upon returning after the break.
