Atalanta has made history with a stunning victory over Genoa. The match was marked by a record-breaking VAR intervention and a final recovery of over 10 minutes, possibly the longest in Atalanta's history.
CarneSecchi's performance
Young goalkeeper CarneSecchi has secured his position as the first choice for Atalanta, thanks to his consistent good performances. In Genoa, he saved the goal in difficult moments and made repeated high exits that untangled dangerous situations.
Statistical curiosities
With the victory over Genoa, Atalanta achieved their fourth consecutive win in the championship (fifth including the Coppa Italia). For the first time since the 2004/05 season, Atalanta scored two goals after the 90th minute in a Serie A match. With El Bilal Touré's goal on his debut in Atalanta, the number of different Atalanta scorers this season has risen to 18, with 14 in the championship alone. Only Fiorentina has had more players score, with 15.
A pat on the back
The victory, while clear in the scoreline, was hard-fought against a strong home team. So, who deserves a pat on the back today? Scamacca, who sometimes seemed not enough taken by the fight? El Bilal, who showed clear signs of suffering from the long absence from competitions? Or Matteo Shoeless Scalvini, who saw a goal cancelled for no clear reason? Today, the pat on the back goes to all of them for their efforts.
Why a pat on the back?
You know when we ask you who was the best of ours on the field? Well, now we're asking the opposite. Who deserves a pat on the back for their efforts, even if they didn't shine as the best? It's a way to recognize the hard work and dedication that goes into every match, even when things don't go as planned.
