A roller coaster at the Olimpico Stadium! Atalanta dominating the first half scoring 3 goals while Lazio could not awake. In the second half, another story, Lazio woke up and in less than 3 minutes scored 2 goals for the 2-3. Lazio managed to draw 3-3 causing a headache to Atalanta who thought they had the victory….. A superb performance by Lazio forward Ciro Immobile scoring two goals keeping the top scorer position with 9 goals.
Napoli gaining momentum and points to climb the Serie A Standing. Napoli defeating Hellas Verona at the San Paolo Stadium with a 2-0.
