Atalanta grabs last-gasp win against 10-man Genoa
Atalanta's late pressure against 10-man Genoa finally told as Isak Hien secured the visitor a 1-0 victory in the 94th minute.
Genoa played almost all of the game with a numerical disadvantage after Nicola Leali's third-minute red card, but Daniele De Rossi's side could not hold on in the end.
Daniel Maldini was set free for Atalanta three minutes in, and Leali rushed out of his box to hack down the 24-year-old, receiving a straight red card for his last-man tackle.
Gianluca Scamacca sent the resulting free-kick over the bar, and Charles De Ketelaere forced a sharp stop out of Leali's replacement, Daniele Sommariva.
But Genoa fought back, with Johan Vazquez and Vitinha forcing sharp saves out of Marco Carnesecchi before the break, while the latter also hit the post with a first-time shot 52 seconds after half-time.
Lorenzo Colombo's glancing header tested Carnesecchi again, and while Sommariva smartly kept out Nicola Zalewski's long-range effort, he was helpless on a corner as Hien headed the winner into an empty net.
Elsewhere in Serie A, bottom-of-the-table Fiorentina finally recorded its first win of the season at the 16th attempt, brushing aside 10-man Udinese 5-1.
