After the half hour, great opportunities for the draw with Sanabria, Bremer, Aina and Mandragora. In the second half the theme does not change. Atalanta struggles to build, the grenades are more effective in attack. Sanabria tries again, then Linetty and Djidji. Juric plays the Belotti card, given not in perfect shape, and the 'Gallo' responds present in the 79th minute: right from the limit that Maehle's deviation rears up in a mocking lob that gives Musso no escape. Heart-pounding finish. Verdi goes close to overtaking with a right-footed shot from the edge that hisses very close to the post.

Empoli is preferred in the first half hour, there is also Bandinelli's pole in the 24th minute with a blow from the edge. The wind changes at 31 ', when Milinkovic-Savic serves the inclusion of Lazzari who signs the overtaking. Clamorous topic of Vicario (41 ') who calls the ball out, blocking his defenders, but is naively anticipated by Acerbi. Contact and rigor that Immobile transforms. Empoli has the opportunity to reopen the score at the beginning of the second half,Luiz Felipe saves Bajrami's surefire shot on the line after Reina barely repulsed Bandinelli's blow. The game drags on in full control of Sarri's men. A jolt comes in full recovery (93 ') when Bajrami's wave hits the crossbar.
