The second goal came from a set piece and was executed with perfect timing.
Koopmeiners won a free kick deep in Udinese's territory after being fouled by Arslan, and Atalanta's players moved into positions around the penalty area while Malinovskyi stood over the ball.
The delivery came toward the far post with pace and curl, and Demiral had timed his run to arrive ahead of Becão while both players jumped for the header.
Demiral won the aerial challenge and his header came back across the face of goal toward the near post where defenders were positioned but not organized properly, and De Roon had continued his run from deep to arrive unmarked at the edge of the six-yard box.
The Dutch midfielder met the ball with his right foot from close range and tapped it into the net past the goalkeeper's dive, and the finish was simple but the run's timing had been perfect.
