The Friulians dominate for most of the match and take the lead with a header from Thomas Kristensen off a corner by Nicolò Zaniolo in the first half.
In the second half, Udinese double their lead with Keinan Davis, after a series of defensive interventions by Kolasinac that aren’t enough to prevent the goal. Raffaele Palladino’s Atalanta seems to be struggling, but changes face thanks to substitutions and the decision to go with two strikers.
The star becomes Gianluca Scamacca, who between the 75th and 79th minute scores a brace and brings the Goddess back to 2-2. In the final minutes, there are chances and end-to-end action, but the result does not change.
For Atalanta, it’s a comeback that boosts morale ahead of the European clash with Bayern Munich, while Udinese are left with regret for a win that slipped away after controlling most of the game.
Before the match, Palladino also receives the Coach of the Month award for February thanks to victories against Cremonese, Lazio, and Napoli.
The match is unlocked at the end of the first half, precisely in the 39th minute.
From a corner taken by Nicolò Zaniolo, Thomas Kristensen surprises the Nerazzurri defense, gets the better of Kossounou, and heads past Marco Carnesecchi, putting Udinese ahead.

Atalanta protests for contact in the penalty area, but for the referee (and VAR) everything is regular: goal confirmed and the visitors lead at halftime.
A horror first half for Atalanta, who did not register a single shot on target.
This hadn’t happened since December 28, 2025, during the home defeat against Inter.
The first chance for the Goddess comes in the 50th minute: a shot from outside the box by Scamacca hits the post to Okoye’s left and bounces back into play.

In the 56th minute, Udinese double their lead with a piece of magic from Davis: the English striker picks up a rebound from the Atalanta defense after a shot by Zarraga and with his left foot draws a wonderful trajectory that beats Carnesecchi at the far post.
The bad spell continues for Atalanta’s defense: for the first time under Palladino, the Goddess concedes two goals in three consecutive matches (Sassuolo, Lazio, Udinese).

But in just 4 minutes, Atalanta catches up with Udinese thanks to a brace from Gianluca Scamacca, who scores two headers to bring the score level.
The Goddess’s striker first makes it 1-2 in the 75th minute from a Zalewski cross with a powerful and precise header.

In the 79th minute comes the equalizer with another header, this time on a loose ball: Scamacca rises above Whizibue and beats Okoye at the far post.
The end of the match is intense, with both teams trying to take all three points.
As the clock hits 97 minutes, referee Rapuano blows the final whistle, sparking Palladino’s anger.

The match official, in fact, does not allow Atalanta to take a corner: the Goddess’s coach angrily turns to fourth official Ferreri Caputi, showing him his stopwatch.
