Atalanta Lose First Serie A Match of Season at Udinese, Slip Into Bottom Half

Atalanta Lose First Serie A Match of Season at Udinese

Atalanta, led by Ivan Juric, suffered their first league defeat of the season, losing 1-0 to Udinese, and dropped into the bottom half of the Serie A table.

Udinese, with their first clean sheet at the Stadio Friuli this term, climbed above Atalanta in the standings. Atalanta's slow start to the season continued, with just 13 points from nine games, their worst start since 2018/19.

Despite facing the division's joint-leakiest defence, Atalanta struggled to build momentum. The match was evenly-matched, with neither side able to establish a foothold in the opening period.

Udinese's Nicolo Zaniolo posed an attacking threat, with a speculative strike from range that was dealt with by Marco Carnesecchi. Arthur Atta also dragged an effort wide from the edge of the box.
