Atalanta 1-0 Udinese: Muriel scores last gasp winner for the hosts

Atalanta

Atalanta picked up a last minute win over Cagliari in the Italian Serie A League earlier tonight.

Star striker Luis Muriel scored the winning goal of the game in the 90th minute to earn a dramatic victory for his team.

Both teams were quite evenly matched throughout the game and Cagliari will be disappointed to have conceded a late winner here.

Atalanta are now up to 7th in the Italian League table with 40 points. They will be hoping to qualify for the Champions League this season.

The away side are just two points adrift of reigning champions Juventus in the 4th place and they will fancy their chances of qualifying for European football this season.

Meanwhile, Cagliari are 18th in the League table with just 15 points from 18 matches and they will have to improve immensely if they want to survive relegation this season.

Cagliari had the chance to score early on in the first half through Berat Djimsiti but the woodwork came to Atalanta’s rescue. The Atalanta ace almost put the ball into his own net. 

Muriel grabbed his 13th League goal of the season to secure a vital win for his side but Atalanta will know that they will have to improve a lot if they want to climb up the table in the coming months.

They have played free flowing attacking football over the past year but their attack wasn’t at their best tonight.
