Bergamo(Agencies):Atalanta made
another step towards next season’s Champions League on Thursday after a 2-0
Serie A win over Napoli that extended the gap between them and the chasing
pack.
Goals from Mario Pasalic and Robin Gosens early in the
second half broke Napoli’s resistance at an all-but empty Gewiss Stadium and
put Atalanta on 60 points in fourth place, and the final Champions League spot,
with nine matches remaining.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, now unbeaten in nine in the
league, are 15 points ahead of sixth-place Napoli and 12 in front of Roma, who
slumped to a shock 2-0 defeat to lowly Udinese after having to play most of
their match at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with 10 men.
“It’s a shame that
the fans aren’t here to see this,” said Gasperini, after another good
performance behind closed doors.
“It’s really sad
because I can imagine what kind of atmosphere there would have been for the
match today.”
Napoli currently sit in the last Europa League spot.
