De Ketelaere has done well at Atalanta in recent weeks and also proved crucial against Udinese with a fine assist for Aleksey Miranchuk’s opening goal (33′). De Ketelaere cleared well and then put the ball back for goalscorer Miranchuk. Shortly before half-time, De Ketelaere also provided the assist for Gianluca Scamacca’s 2-0.

In the second half, Atalanta played the game simply. Udinese, whose compatriot Christian Kabasele sat on the bench throughout the game, failed to turn the one-sided situation around.
After the win, Atalanta temporarily moves back into the top four with 36 points, although first pursuers Fiorentina (34 points) and Lazio (33 points) still have a game in hand. Udinese is sixteenth with eighteen points.
Painful and expensive home defeat for Juvé
Serie A leaders Juventus lost expensive points at home against bottom team Empoli (1-1). The game started badly for Juventus, who had to continue with ten games after just 18 minutes after a red card for Arkadiusz Milik. His striker brother Dusan Vlahovic broke the spell for the Old Lady shortly after the break (50th). The 23-year-old Serb is in excellent form and has already scored six goals since the turn of the year.

Juventus seemed to have their sheep high and dry, but Empoli equalized with twenty minutes left thanks to a beautiful shot from Tommaso Baldanzi from the second line (70th). After that, Juventus continued to look for a win, but without success.

The loss of points means Inter can regain top position in Serie A with a win against Fiorentina on Sunday. Juventus is currently at the top with 53 points. Inter has 51 points after playing two games less. Despite the point, Empoli remains second to last in the table with seventeen points.
AC Milan misses two penalties and a draw
AC Milan paid a heavy price for missed penalties from Giroud (42′) and Theo Hernández (75′), while Bologna’s Riccardo Orsolini converted his penalty in the 92nd minute to make the final score 2-2.
Milan missed out on their fourth league win in a row.
The Rossoneri fell behind at home for the third time this season, about half an hour through Joshua Zirkzee (ex-Anderlecht).
Thiago Motta was shown a red card after 41 minutes and left Bologna with ten men. After a missed penalty from Giroud, Ruben Loftus-Cheek made it 1-1 just before half-time.
With less than 20 minutes to go, Milan were awarded their second penalty, but this time Théo Hernandez hit the post. His rebound was disallowed because no one else touched the ball first.
After 83 minutes, Loftus-Cheek headed in hard to make it 2-1, but Bologna also conceded a penalty in extra time. Orsolini did not fail.
