Orange customer Marten de Roon has made an important contribution to the victory of his club Atalanta Bergamo over Empoli (2-1) with a goal.
The Dutchman headed for Atalanta more than ten minutes after the break. It was the equalizer. In the first half Tyronne Ebuehi, former player of ADO Den Haag and FC Twente, had given Empoli the lead.
Rasmus Höjlund scored the liberating, winning goal for Atalanta in the 86th minute.
The victory puts Atalanta firmly in sixth place, while it still has the prospect of a place in the Champions League. To do this, the club must finish in the top four.
This weekend there are two more noteworthy matches on the program in Italy. The city derby between Lazio and AS Roma will be played on Sunday. Just like the ‘Derby d’Italia’, between Internazionale and Juventus, which is not a high flyer this season due to the fifteen point deduction.
Rick Karsdorp of Roma will miss the ‘Derby della Capitale’ because he needs surgery on his nose. The Dutch right back left the field badly damaged on Thursday in the Europa League match against Real Sociedad (0-0).
AS Roma reached the quarter-finals through the draw after winning 2-0 in the first game. Feyenoord is the opponent in the quarterfinals.
