BERGAMO. THE'Atalanta regains the top of the Serie A table after a hard-fought match againstEmpoli guest and able to put Gasperini's boys in difficulty until the last second: in Bergamo it ends 3-2 thanks to the latest feat of De Ketelaere, who scored a brace tonight. Napoli remains at 38 points, Atalanta scores 40.
The first half
The Azzurri scored first in the 12th minute thanks to a pass from Henderson which found Colombo's plate also thanks to a distracted defense, the shot bounced off the pitch and went past Carnesecchi centrally. The equalizer came in the 34th minute after a long throw from Zappacosta which found De Ketelaere ready to head low. Lookman found the lead in the 45th minute, triggered by Zaniolo. Two minutes of added time.
The second half
In the second half Lookman almost missed out on scoring a brace following a precise cross from De Ketelaere in the 48th minute who, however, did not find his teammate ready. In the 55th minute Empoli were awarded a penalty after Djimsiti brought down Grassi in the area, Esposito kicked and the equalizer came in the 57th minute. Atalanta suffers from Empoli's reactivity and finds no space to take the lead, at least until De Ketelaere finds a flash from the right wing, dribbles towards the center of the area and scores with a left diagonal in the 85th minute, a personal double for Belgian talent. Six minutes of injury time for a match fought until the last second.
