One is already safe, the other is mathematically in the Champions League: the result? A show.

This was Genoa-Atalanta, and it was already a show before the starting whistle: a show in the stands, with chants and teasing directed at cousins Sampdoria, and a total of five goals, with a finale seasoned with some controversy.

The Griffin started well with Pinamonti, who scored with a header a goal almost identical to the one scored by Genoa in Naples in the 2-2 final: Ruggeri was caught late and the attacker took advantage of it.

The Goddess responded at the beginning of the second half with Sulemana: second consecutive goal after the one in the Champions League against Roma, again with a shot from outside, this time even more beautiful to see. Genoa took the lead again with Pinamonti, who reached double figures for the season and 50 overall in Serie A, but here Atalanta took charge and took the three points.

Daniel Maldini redeemed himself after the mistake in the first half and scored the equalizer with a precise low shot to the corner. Then the great ex took charge: De Ketelaere invented a play for Retegui, who with his left foot scored a goal that left Leali stunned. It was the 25th goal in Serie A for the Italian-Argentine this season, a historic milestone: he became the best scorer of all time for Atalanta in a single season, surpassing Duván Zapata (23) and Pippo Inzaghi (24).

There was no shortage of controversy over the decisive goal: there was contact between De Winter and De Ketelaere, with the defender remaining on the ground while the Belgian continued the action undisturbed and started the play that led to the 3-2. Genoa expected a gesture of fair play, given the irrelevance of the result in terms of the standings, but that's not what happened.

A few more skirmishes at the final whistle, but nothing serious: Atalanta took the three points in Genoa and rose to 74, while the Griffin remained at 40.
