In a thrilling Serie A match at Genoa's Luigi Ferraris Stadium, Atalanta secured a 1-0 victory over Genoa with a dramatic goal in the 94th minute. The match was marked by early controversy as Genoa's goalkeeper Nicola Leali was expelled just 3 minutes into the game for a foul on Maldini, setting a record as the second fastest red card in Serie A history since 1994. Leali's ejection left Genoa with ten men, forcing their backup goalkeeper Sommariva into action. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Genoa defended resolutely, with key saves from Sommariva, including a notable parry from a shot by CdK and a save on Vasquez's header. The game remained goalless until the final moments when Atalanta's Hien scored on a corner kick in the 94th minute after an errant out-of-position save by Sommariva, who had replaced Leali. The victory ended Atalanta’s three-match away losing streak and moved them to 9th place in the standings. The match was also notable for multiple disciplinary records, including Leali's rapid red card, and a series of substitutions and tactical adjustments from both teams. The game highlighted the resilience of Genoa despite being a man down and the determination of Atalanta to capitalize on late opportunities.
