Atalanta met Lazio as part of the 27th round of Italian Serie A. Bergamo club head coach Gian Piero Gasperini gave midfielder Ruslan Malinovsky a place in the starting lineup for this fight.
In fairness, the 27-year-old Ukrainian has justified the mentor's confidence by becoming the author of the second goal against the opponent. At the 66th minute, the ball was at Ruslan’s feet, after which he delivered a cannon strike from outside the penalty area.
Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha was unable to save his team in this moment, and Malinowski returned the balance in the account (2: 2). It is worth noting that this goal was the fifth for the Ukrainian midfielder in the current season of Serie A.
