Ten minutes later, it was Levak who found the back onf the net by tapping in the rebound on another Misitano header, with the goal ultimately ruled out for offside. Atalanta kept pushing forward and in the 80th minute Navarro let fly a powerful shot from distance, only to ve denied once again by the Foggia keeper. In the 82nd minute, Manzoni went on a brilliant solo run, weaving past defenders, but his effort was once again stopped by the goalkeeper.
