Stefan De Vrij reduced the score with a header in added time, but his goal was disallowed following the video was called for an interist handball early in the game.

In the followingnoon, Atalanta Bergamo (5th) fell 1-0 at Fiorentina (7th). The “Viola” won once morest the “Dea” thanks to a goal from Krzysztof Piatek (56th).
