In a thrilling showdown, Atalanta showcased their fighting spirit once again with a sensational 2-1 comeback victory against Udinese. The match turned into a nail-biting affair as Udinese's Hassane Kamara opened the scoring in the first half, sending waves of worry through the Atalanta camp. However, true to their reputation as comeback kings, Atalanta steered their ship back on course thanks to a breathtaking first-time strike from Mario Pasalic just 11 minutes after the break, leveling the score and igniting the home crowd's passion.

But the excitement didn't stop there! Just moments later, an unfortunate own goal from Udinese's Isaak Toure sealed the deal for Atalanta, marking their sixth consecutive victory in Serie A.
