After the surprise defeat of the reigning Italian champion, Napoli, on home soil against Empoli (0-1), two other meetings were on the program this Sunday afternoon as part of the 12th day of Serie A. Fiorentina hosted Bologna at home while Atalanta Bergamo traveled to Udinese. In character, the Viola defeated its opponent (2-1) thanks to achievements from Giacomo Bonaventura (17th) and Nicolas Gonzalez, from the penalty spot (48th). In the meantime, former Bayern Munich striker Joshua Zirkzee reduced the score in the first period (33rd). With this success, Vincenzo Italiano’s men climb to fifth place while Bologna slips to 7th place.

With forceps, Atalanta grabbed the draw point on the Udinese pitch (1-1). After failing to open the scoring after half an hour of play following Isaac Success’s missed penalty, the Friulani finally won their case before the break through the Brazilian Walace (44th). Behind, the Dea tried to come back to the score by increasing the attacks on the opposing cage. In added time, Ederson finally saved his team from another defeat (90th + 2), after last weekend’s defeat against Inter. Rather diligent in the European Cup, Gian Piero Gasperini’s team alternates between good and bad in the championship but remains in 5th place. At the end of the international break, Atalanta will try to escape this negative spiral against Naples. Udinese, 15th, will travel to Rome to face La Louve. Finally, the Florence club will challenge AC Milan at the Artemio-Franchi stadium while Bologna will cross swords with Torino.
