19 October 2019Lazio charges with an impressive comeback, Atalanta regrets two points thrown away after a first knockout. The 3-3 at the Olimpico, accompanied by two doublets from Immobile (top scorer with 9 goals) and Muriel, is one you don't expect after the first 45 '. Only orobici in the first half, a convincing response from the biancocelesti in the second half. And for both technicians, you need to understand what worked and what didn't. Atalanta, however, continues to breathe high-altitude air at 17 points; Lazio at 12 remains in the limbo of those who aspire to something more.

Lazzari gets hurt during the warm-up, Inzaghi has to resort to Lulic for the right lane (Lulic is on the left). Terminals of 3-5-2 are Correa and Immobile (the Argentine plays a bit backward, to inspire), in midfield Parolo instead of the unavailable Leiva. Without Zapata, Gasperini plays with Muriel tip supported by Gomez and Malinovskyi (Ilicic on the bench). Right from the start the guests show they have more. We start with Strakosha which is opposed to the diagonal of Pasalic. The Croatian himself has a great chance that the Albanian goalkeeper cancels in two stages. And 'the starter of the goal, which arrives at 23': Pasalic's heel that keeps alive the ball destined to the side foul, Gosens joins and catches Muriel who makes no mistake. The Colombian turns on. Out of his conclusion immediately after, bis to 28 'on a free kick from the band: tirocross that nobody touches, Strakosha is deceived by the trajectory. Lazio sinks. Malinovskyi makes overtime work in Strakosha. At 38 'Toloi dips towards the area, veil of Muriel, control and thrust of Gomez. 0-3 at the interval.

Inzaghi has to shake his and identifies the pieces to be replaced in Marusic and Parolo (Patric and Cataldi enter). And Lazio puts us much more vigorous, even if it doesn't create big dangers from the parts of Gollini. Immobile gets walled by the orobic goalkeeper, but the offside signal was triggered. Then Correa jumps clear Toloi but fails in front of Gollini. Same fate for Immobile, excellently caught in a verticalization. Gasperini does some turnover: De Roon and Ilicic for Pasalic and Muriel. Replacements just before the race ignites. At 69 'a naive foul by Palomino on Immobile sends the top scorer to the spot for the eighth center in this series A. Just the time to put the ball in the center and Correa exploits a misunderstanding between the defenders on a long ball forward from Immobile and beats Strakosha with a great diagonal. Resoundingly reopened game, with Lazio inertia. Gollini performs on the trajectory designed by Luis Alberto from a distance. On the consequent corner, Correa struck head-on from two passes and Gollini responded instinctively. Inzaghi moves the center of gravity forward with Caicedo instead of Radu. Gasperini has already replaced Masiello with Kjaer. Malinovskyi touches the pole from the edge and makes it clear that Atalanta can hurt at any time. Strakosha keeps his own afloat by opposing Gomez, unmarked by Ilicic. It is a key parade, close to 90 '. In the recovery, insistent action of the Biancocelesti, Immobile is quick to cover the ball and is kicked by De Roon. Second penalty procured and transformed (92 ') despite the opposition of Gollini who intercepts but does not prevent the ball from entering. Completely resounding comeback.
