RESULTS
Gilardino gets Verona into trouble, Genoa wins in a comeback
Genoa blow to Bentegodi. The rossoblù go behind at the start with Bonazzoli’s Veronese goal, then Ekuban and Gudmundsson score the blitz of Gilardino’s 11. An important victory for Genoa, the decisive brick to certify the salvation of the Grifone. A defeat that gets even more into trouble for Verona who loses ground and dangerously returns to suffer the pains of hell in the sprint to safety. Gialloblù willing, but once again paying for the offensive difficulties; Genoa, after four games without the 3 points, finds the taste of victory again. Verona made a sprint start, finding Bonazzoli’s second consecutive goal: Cabal recovered the ball, Lazovic’s millimeter launch, good oriented control from Bonazzoli, terrible reading from Martinez and the former Salernitana striker made an easy touch with the goal unguarded. It looks like a downhill match for Hellasbecause Genoa struggle so much to get to Montipò’s area and Verona shows off a high pace and aggression that takes time away from the play of the rossoblù players. But as the minutes passed, Genoa conquered the field and also improved in quality with Gudmundsson more involved in the maneuver. The equalizer arrives in the closing credits of the first half: Ekuban is good and lucky in finalizing Genoa’s fast action because first the deflection fails but Lazovic’s unfortunate touch allows the visiting attacker to reiterate the goal. Hellas seems to start off with a bang in the second half too, however with the first quality play from their opponents the yellow and blues capitulate again. Ekuban uses the physical, Vasquez plays like a tightrope walker with a couple of fabulous tight dribbles, his left-footed shot from close range is blocked with his feet by Montipò but Gudmundsson is lurking and deposits it into the net. Below, Baroni redesigns an ultra-offensive Verona; inside Mitrovic and Swiderski and shortly after also Henry. Verona finds the equalizer with the Polish Swiderski, but the VAR sees a millimeter offside from Mitrovic, author of the assist, and Manganiello cancels it. In the last phase of the match the game was played with only one goal, Genoa tried to restart and when they did it was always dangerous, but Thorsby’s header was well saved by Montipò. The ending is a real siege. Verona is proud but Genoa is solid and celebrates the victory at the Bentegodi.
Cagliari saves, Atalanta beat
Atalanta stops in Sardinia before going to play Liverpool. Perhaps distracted by Europe, they played badly and lost, beaten 2-1 by Cagliari who are now taking a big step forward in terms of survival. Viola’s header was decisive in the 43rd minute of the second half. Perhaps the Bergamo players had deluded themselves too soon, scoring in the 13th minute with Scamacca. They hadn’t taken into account the strength of Cagliari’s desperation with a crowd that lit up after a penalty that wasn’t claimed due to a contact between Hateboer and Mina. From that moment on, the Domus became bedlam. But above all hell for Atalanta. The equalizer was another unexpected protagonist, Augello, at the end of the first half. For Atalanta the race for Europe becomes a little more complicated: the defeat takes the Nerazzurri away from Bologna and Rome. With Napoli approaching. Yes, there is a game to recover, but this was not a good sign. Atalanta’s dominance lasted about twenty minutes. Then Cagliari took back the pitch with running, desire and confidence. Until the very end. Ranieri had given up Zappa and Lapadula to take advantage of Sulemana’s physicality and Shomurodov’s agility, thinking of the game above all as quick counterattacks. The module is also different, with three in the median instead of two to create density. At 13′ the goal: ball to Lopkman on the left and low to the center of the number 11. Scamacca in beautiful style, with the dig, put it into the net: almost a walk. A question of timing, spaces covered well, plays: Atalanta were moving with their eyes closed. And at that point Cagliari couldn’t help but focus on spirit, good will, the strength of desperation. The stadium then caught fire especially due to a contact in the area behind Mina who seemed to be able to do something on a cross from Nandez. And it is there with the angry public that Cagliari, half dead, is resurrected. The equalizer was then a piece of skill from Shomurodov: the Uzbek, set up by Gaetano, took away four Nerazzurri defenders. And then he unloaded to the left towards the protagonist that no one suspected, Augello. Only in front of Carnesecchi did the former Sampdoria player make no mistakes. For him, the first goal with the Cagliari shirt, the fifth in Serie A. In the second half Gasperini, between turnover in view of Europe and immediate needs, tried to give fewer points of reference up front by removing Scamacca. Hateboer and Koopmeiners are also out. Inside Bakker, Tourè and De Ketelaere. It went terribly, the team never scored: Tourè and De Ketelaere were evanescent, Scuffet didn’t face any real dangers. Cagliari? Always there ready to respond and start again. In the 43rd minute the key episode: Luvumbo’s usual sprint to the right. Then the cross: Djimisiti is dazed. And Viola transforms into Pavoletti. For Cagliari the ranking is smiling: thirteenth place, the hot zone is four points away.
