Isak Hien's 90+4 Header Seals Atalanta's 1-0 Win at Genoa
Genoa played almost the entire match with ten men after goalkeeper Nicola Leali’s early red card, with stand-in Daniele Sommariva keeping them in it until the final minutes.
Overview
- Leali was sent off inside three minutes for a foul outside his area, leaving Genoa down to ten men from the outset.
- Daniele De Rossi was forced into an immediate reshuffle as Daniele Sommariva replaced Leali and delivered a string of assured saves.
- Atalanta controlled about 71% possession, outshot Genoa 16–6 and earned 10 corners but struggled to finish for most of the night.
- Gianluca Scamacca went close twice, while Charles De Ketelaere, Yunus Musah and Daniel Maldini also had opportunities without converting.
- Hien headed in the winner at 90+4 from a late corner, credited with an assist to Nicola Zalewski, after Genoa had threatened on set pieces through Vitinha and Lorenzo Colombo.
