The second half was just as intense as the first, with both teams trading blows. Napoli had the chance to take the lead again when they were awarded a penalty, but Lorenzo Insigne's spot-kick was saved by Musso.
Atalanta, sensing their chance, pushed forward with even greater vigor. They created numerous opportunities but could not find a way past Alex Meret in Napoli's goal. As the match entered its final stages, it became clear that this was a battle that would not be settled without a winner.
In a moment of brilliance, Napoli's Stanislav Lobotka played a perfectly weighted pass over the top of Atalanta's defense.
