May 15, 2021 The first two advances of the penultimate round issue two important verdicts: Atalanta will participate in the Champions League for the third consecutive year, Spezia (Serie A freshman) is safe.

The orobics win on the Genoa field already saved, even if they risk complicating their lives in the last part of the match.

The Ligurians trim a poker to Turin and inguaiano.

The grenades await the result of Benevento in Crotone and, in case of victory or even Samnite equal, everything will be played in the direct confrontation next Sunday at the Olimpico.

Excellent start of the rossoblù. Melegoni forces Gollini in a corner with a powerful right, on the corner Masiello hits the outside post (3 '). Then begins the orobic monologue. At 9 'Zapata opens thanks to the triangulation with Malinovskyi. The Genoa defense struggled to resist the siege until the 26th minute, when Zapata stubbornly retrieves a ball on the bottom and offers it for Malinovskyi's easy doubling. Shortly before the interval (44 '), the three of a kind with Hateboer making the header for the other winger, Gosens, free to strike undisturbed. Many changes in the interval, the restart of the race gains. At 48 'Shomurodov takes advantage of Djimsiti's error and puts Genoa on the scoresheet. Just three minutes and Atalanta restores the distance.Pasalic receives from Miranchuk and unloads a powerful diagonal behind Marchetti. The game proceeded wearily until the 67th minute, when Gosens (detected by the Var) touched Onguéné's cross with his arm. Pandev displaces Gollini from the spot. Genoa believes in comeback and press, Atalanta at times in great difficulty. At 84 'Pandev inspires for Shomurodov who places the brace with a touch below. Genoa, however, no longer have any and Gasperini's team can celebrate.he no longer has any and Gasperini's team can celebrate.he no longer has any and Gasperini's team can celebrate.

First quarter of an hour of study and mutual fear. Then the Ligurians break the delay. Saponara's post (18 ') that had missed Sirigu, a wrong goal in reality. The attacking midfielder redeems himself in just a minute: he receives from Agudelo, adjusts his right foot and hits the mark. At 42 'Nzola doubles on a penalty caused by Vojvoda's stomp in Pobega. Nzola could put the seal on the game at the beginning of the second half, but he is cumbersome on Saponara's valuable assist. So in the 51st minute Belotti's penalty (Ferrer late on Bremer) lights up the grenades. Nzola is forgiven in the 74th minute when he directs the cross on a free kick from Marchizza. La Spezia's salvation puts Erlic on ice in the 84th minute with a precise header on Farias' cross.
