Stadio Luigi FerrarisPitch6:01 PM
The stadium was full and the sound came down hard from the steep stands while both teams walked out through the tunnel and the home section received Genoa's squad with sustained noise that bounced off the roof and amplified across the enclosed space, and the Atalanta section in the upper tier answered with their own chant that cut through the home noise cleanly enough to be heard on the pitch.
The referee placed the ball at the center circle and both captains exchanged handshakes before returning to their positions.
Fweeeeeetttttttt!!!!!
1' - 11' |
Genoa pressed immediately and their front three closed Atalanta's center-backs from the first whistle, forcing the ball wide to the right flank where Hateboer collected under pressure from their left wingback who had tracked the pass aggressively.
