GENOVA (ITALPRESS) – Atalanta beats Genoa in full recovery thanks to the Hien goal (0-1 the final result). Three points for the Dea that returns to win away in the league and leads to ninth place, to -3 from the European zone. Eighth defeat for the red-blues, but despite the man in less after just three minutes the hosts played a great race, never renouncing to seek victory. In the next round the Atalanta will face Inter while De Rossi will find his past: Genoa, in fact, will challenge Rome to the Olympic Stadium.
Given the absence of Lookman (convoked for the Africa Cup), Palladino wanted to give a chance to Daniel Maldini, with De Ketelaere and Scamacca to complete the attack. De Rossi chose the 3-5-2, with the duo Vitinha-Ekuban to hang the Bergamo rearguard. The plot of the match changed after just three minutes, on an incorrect control of Norton-Cuffy: Maldini skipped the ball, number 70 – launched on the net – was then landed out of area by Leali. Abisso opted for red as the goalkeeper prevented a clear opportunity from goal. Despite the less man the hosts rejected the assaults, the Atalanta struggled to find offensive spaces and gates.
A couple of conclusions frightened Sommariva (the second of Leali), but De Rossi’s team did well the shock.
In the shoot, the reddish immediately touched the advantage, Vitinha – after an acceleration of the same Norton-Cuffy – hit the outer pole. The atalantine manoeuvre was predictable, thanks to a Genoa able to defend with all men of movement. The Nerazzurri have built a few goals, the Grifone has played with courage and without giving anything for over an hour of play. Not even the changes have given life to a little bright and less favourable Goddess than the challenge won with Cagliari, but the answer from the Ligurians after the ko against Inter. At 32′ the best opportunity for the hosts on the development of a corner football, but the head of Colombo was neutralized by the excellent parade of Carnesecchi. In the final Zalewski attempted the conclusion from the distance, but Sommariva extended in corner. At a minute, on a corner kick, Isak Hien took advantage of the wrong exit of Sommariva by scoring the win goal.
