21:41 Match report

 

21:39 FT: Udinese 1-1 Napoli

Like last year, but so very different.

21:34 Udinese 1-1 Napoli: Isaac Success!

Incredible, Success had not scored in over a year! Cross knocked down by Kristensen, was probably for Davis, but Success gets there first, takes a touch to control with his back to goal, turns and fires in from six yards!

21:33 Into stoppages

5 minutes.

21:29 Napoli sub

Osimhen is doing some stretching exercises for his right knee and then goes off for Simeone.

Zemura also replaces Kamara.

21:27 Osimhen error

Napoli corner to the back post, Lobotka in a better position, Osimhen insists on going for the acrobatic volley. No need for that. Udinese then counter and that’s a horrible cross…

21:26 Double Napoli chance

Di Lorenzo through ball for Osimhen, ferocious strike parried at the near post, then pull back for Ngonge, charged down from point-blank range by Bijol’s stomach.

21:24 Napoli sub

Ngonge replaces Lindstrom

21:23 DISALLOWED

He went back and forth, but not enough, Osimhen was caught offside.

21:22 Udinese 0-2 Napoli: Victor Osimhen!

It’s Osimhen again! Udinese lose the ball in midfield, they argue with a foul, Lobotka through ball for Osimhen, who did a lot of back and forth on that run….

21:16 Ouch

Oh that was a nasty clash of heads between Success and Rrahmani, the second of the day for Rrahmani. The Napoli defender is bleeding again…

21:15 Napoli sub

Cajuste off, Traore on.

21:13 Meret save!

Udinese threaten to equalise on a corner, Samardzic in-swinger beaten away with difficulty by Meret!

21:11 Udinese sub

Ebosele replaces Ehizibue.

21:10 Okoye denies Osimhen

Osimhen runs onto a through ball, Okoye is alert and quick off his line to pluck it off his feet.

21:10 Osimhen goal UK

 

21:07 Osimhen goal

 

21:03 Udinese bite back!

First Success shot deflected for a corner, then Davis cuts inside from the left and shoots low from the edge of the box, Meret gets down to parry!

21:00 Ouch

Rrahmani gets treatment after a clash of heads and seems to be mopping blood from inside his mouth.

20:58 Napoli again

Roll across from the left, Osimhen with his back to goal lays it off for Di Lorenzo, finish charged down.

20:56 Udinese sub

Success and Davis replace Brenner and Lucca. What’s the opposite of nominative determinism? Isaac Success.

20:54 Udinese 0-1 Napoli: Victor Osimhen!

First real attempt and it’s in the net from the Nigerian! Politano whips in a cross from the right using his weaker right foot, but it’s still floated beautifully onto the head of Osimhen to nod in between two defenders from six yards!

20:52 Lindstrom wide

Lindstrom free kick goes past everyone and the frame of the goal.

20:49 Save on Cajuste!

That’s a shot on goal! Joao Ferreira tries to play his way out amid a crowd, is robbed inside his own penalty area and Cajuste angled drive beaten away at the near post.

20:48 2nd half kicks off: Udinese 0-0 Napoli

No changes to the line-ups.

20:47 Here’s hoping for better

No shots on target from either side in the first half.

20:32 Half-Time: Udinese 0-0 Napoli

Lobotka floats a ball over the top, but Bijol gets in the way and prevents the volley.

20:29 Napoli threaten

Cajuste turns and breaks down the left, rolls it across the face of goal, crucial interception for a corner before Osimhen can tap in.

20:28 Udinese chance

After a corner, Samardzic manages to turn and scuffs the finish just wide.

20:24 Audacious Lindstrom

Not sure that was the best idea, but it would’ve been spectacular… Cross to Osimhen cleared to the edge of the area, Lindstrom tries an extraordinarily difficult scissor-kick volley. He could’ve just controlled it…

20:19 Udinese chance!

Ehizibue pull-back for Lucca intercepted, lands in the path of Samardzic, whose curler flashes not too far wide of the far top corner!

20:13 Osimhen a bit isolated

And oddly again wide down the right, where he is crowded out by two defenders near the corner flag.

20:07 Osimhen attack

Osimhen gets down the right, but the angled drive is charged down.

20:02 Kamara off target

Udinese counter-attack with Kamara, he was never going to score from there, especially not hitting it like that. He had options to cross…

20:01 Moment of remembrance

At 21.02, the same moment that the earthquake struck on this day 48 years ago, a moment of remembrance and applause. 965 people died that day.

20:00 Okoye save

Okoye flies to fingertip the Lindstrom free kick away from Ostigard.

19:59 This stadium means a lot

It is where Napoli mathematically clinched the Scudetto a year ago.

19:54 Oh dear

Brenner wins a free kick, which Samardzic balloons straight out of play.

19:48 Meret fouled

Kristensen just crashes into Meret on a corner – clearest foul on a goalkeeper ever.

18:56 Match Report

 

18:54 FT: Salernitana 1-2 Atalanta

Atalanta are now joint fifth with Roma, and have a game in hand.

18:51 Djimsiti over the bar

Atalanta get a corner in stoppages, but Djimsiti turns over.

18:47 Salernitana chance!

It’s that man Tchaouna again! He sprints forward, leaves Djimsiti for dead and then fires just over from a tricky angle!

18:46 Atalanta push

El Bilal Toure flicks on the ball for Ruggeri, who earns a corner, but that is then over-hit.

18:42 Atalanta sub

Toure replaces Lookman

18:40 Koopmeiners goal

 

18:40 Team News

 

18:39 Atalanta sub

Scamacca off, Djimsiti on

18:36 Salernitana sub

18:29 Huge Salernitana chance

That was practically a goal-line clearance! Hateboer basically charged down the Weissman effort with his stomach!

18:28 Salernitana subs

Zanoli and Legowski on, Sambia and Vignato off.

18:27 Scamacca wide

Might’ve been offside, great first touch anyway and then drilled wide.

18:24 Scamacca goal

 

18:23 Salernitana 1-2 Atalanta: Teun Koopmeiners!

Corner not cleared effectively, but still nobody was expecting Koopmeiners to bend it immediately into the far bottom corner from that distance…

18:22 Atalanta chance

De Roon ball over the top for Koopmeiners, it takes a weird bounce, but he forces a corner.

18:19 Salernitana sub

Weissman replaces Ikwuemesi.

18:16 Salernitana 1-1 Atalanta: Gianluca Scamacca!

Koopmeiners floats a lovely ball into the box, Pasalic nods it down as the assist for Scamacca to prod in from six yards.

18:09 Lookman close

Lookman surges through the centre and drills inches wide from 12 yards.

18:06 Salernitana chance!

Nearly 2-0! Tchaouna scorcher from outside the box, Carnesecchi has to beat that away!

18:05 2nd half kicks off: Salernitana 1-0 Atalanta

18:03 Triple Atalanta sub

De Ketelaere, Ruggeri and Koopmeiners on, Miranchuk, Ederson and Scalvini off.

Salernitana replace Pasalidis with Pellegrino.

17:49 Half-Time: Salernitana 1-0 Atalanta

Tchaouna counter-attack the only goal so far, against the run of play.

17:47 All Atalanta

Lookman gets down the left, floats a cross over everyone, then Scamacca attempt blocked.

17:45 Miranchuk scuff

A well-worked Atalanta passing move, but Miranchuk’s finish deflected off Pirola and into the arms of the goalkeeper. Pasalidis then booked for the earlier frankly very, very high tackle on Lookman. That was studs-up…

17:43 Atalanta not breaking through

Atalanta are seeing a lot of the ball, but not doing much with it. And leaving themselves open to counter-attacks.

17:34 Tchaouna counter

Not dissimilar to the goal, but this time Tchaouna finish deflected across the face of goal for a corner.

17:31 Atalanta threaten

Lookman pulls back from the by-line, blocked for a corner by Fazio.

17:25 Tchaouna goal

 

17:23 Lookman so close

Scamacca finds himself down the right wing, whips a ball across the face of goal, beyond Miranchuk, only scuffed by Lookman inches wide of the far post!

17:19 Goal given!

Not offside! There’s a shocker…

17:17 Salernitana 1-0 Atalanta: Loum Tchaouna!

That’s going to need a check for offside… But the finish was great, turned inside De Roon from the right flank and bent the finish low into the far bottom corner!

17:15 Atalanta again

Scamacca gathers with his back to goal from Ederson, turns, shot charged down by… Miranchuk. Who is offside.

17:07 Inches wide

Lovely team move from Atalanta, Pasalic and Scamacca combine to set up Miranchuk, whose curler flashes just past the far post.

17:05 Atalanta chance

Ademola Lookman fires just over the bar from the edge of the box after twisting and turning to find space.

17:00 We have kick-off in Salernitana vs. Atalanta!

16:58 Gasp history

This is Gian Piero Gasperini’s 300th Serie A game with Atalanta.

16:57 Out come the teams

It’s a Monday early evening, Salernitana are already relegated, Atalanta are between Coppa Italia and Europa League ties, so not exactly a big crowd…

16:47 Candreva award

Antonio Candreva receives an award to mark his 500th Serie A appearance.

16:30 Team News

La Dea rotate the squad after a 1-1 Europa League semi-final draw with Olympique Marseille and the second leg coming up on Thursday. Sead Kolasinac joins Rafael Toloi and Emil Holm on the treatment table.

Doomed Salernitana have Niccolò Pierozzi suspended, Antonio Candreva, Grigoris Kastanos, Giulio Maggiore, Jerome Boateng, Guillermo Ochoa and Norbert Gyomber not fully fit.

Serie A Super Monday

Join us for all the build-up and action as it happens from today’s Serie A games, as Atalanta visit Salernitana and Napoli face a desperate Udinese side.

These fixtures will complete Week 35 and could shake up the battles for Europe and to avoid relegation.

Salernitana are already doomed, but a win here at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT) would let Atalanta catch Roma in fifth place with a game in hand.

At 19.45 UK time (18.45 GMT), Udinese can break out of the bottom three with a victory, but Napoli need to at least scrape a Conference League spot.
