In Udine, the Viola went ahead on 32'with Martinez Quarta who, perfectly found by Bonaventura, beat Silvestri with a precise right-footed shot into the corner. In the second half, the Friulians pushed in search of an equalizer but Terracciano overcame himself more than once and Lucca ate a goal on an empty goal. In the final Bonaventura punished the hosts with a right-footed shot to the first post from the edge of the area, signing the final 2-0 for the guests.

Atalanta and Fiorentina climb to 9 and 10 points, respectively, in the upper reaches of the standings, while Cagliari and Udinese remain stationary on 2 and 3 points, respectively, in the penultimate and third-last positions.
