Atalanta is smiling again in the championship. All easy for the Bergamo players who bat Genoa 5-1 thanks to Retegui’s hat-trick and goals from De Roon and Ederson.

Now Gilardino’s team is at 5 points and in third from last place, against Bologna a decisive reaction will be needed. Gasperini’s theory has been confirmed, the experience in Europe can also help in the championship: it was perceived in the first half that they were substantially dominated, in which Genoa were only seen in the Atalanta area thanks to a half-scissors kick by Bani which ended on the goal .

It took the hosts 24 minutes to break the deadlock: Ederson first launched Lookman into space, the Nigerian set up the assist for Retegui, who slipped to score his fifth goal of the championship. Lookman himself and immediately after Kolasinac had the ball at their feet to double the lead, but Genoa managed to withstand Atalanta’s attacks: in full recovery Pasalic tried, the Croatian’s header ended up just wide. In the second half the script remained the same, within five minutes Retegui scored a brace after Ederson’s shot was badly blocked by Gollini. The Brazilian made up for it in the 15th minute when he scored the 3-0 goal with a very violent shot.

The poker came in the 29th minute when again Retegui scored a penalty awarded after a handball in the area by Vogliacco. Ten minutes from time it was De Roon who wrote his name on the scoreboard with a volley that surprised Gollini for the fifth time. Ekhator took care of making the afternoon at Genoa less bitter, taking advantage of a lack of attention from the Nerazzurri defense in the 38th minute.
