Serie A: before OM, Atalanta team B dominates Empoli, no winner between Napoli and Roma

Continuation of the 34th day of Serie A this Sunday afternoon. Atalanta hosted the Empoli club on its lawn at the Gewiss Stadium. This meeting was an opportunity for the visitors to grab more points in their mission to remain in the elite, while Marco Baroni’s men suffered three losses in the last five matches played. And for Gian Piero Gasperini’s troops, the objective is clear and clear with a ticket to Europe in the sights and a lot of confidence to acquire before the clash at the Vélodrome against OM. After a rather neutral start at a choppy pace, the locals opened the scoring with a penalty converted by Mario Pašalić (42nd). At the start of the second act, Ademola Lookman doubled the lead for Dea (51st). The reshuffled team, without Scamacca, Ederson, Musso, Koopmeiners and De Ketelaere, made short work of the Tuscan club (2-0).

In the other match played simultaneously, AS Roma traveled to Campania to challenge Napoli, on the lawn of the Diego Armando Maradona stadium. After a first period largely dominated by the Partenopei lacking realism, the Giallorossi opened the scoring with a penalty converted by Paulo Dybala (59th). However, almost immediate reaction with Mathías Olivera (64th). And on another penalty this time in favor of the Neapolitans (84th), Victor Osimhen put his team in front but Tammy Abraham quickly equalized (88th) to seal a shared game (2-2). In the standings, AS Roma takes valuable points in the Italian championship and consolidates its 5th place, just ahead of Atalanta which is 4th. Napoli remains in the race despite a disappointing 8th position, while Empoli is still in great danger with this very worrying 17th place in Serie A.
