After celebrating the first European success of this season on Wednesday against Shakhtar, Atalanta is back to victory in the league as well, after the home knockout against Como and the draw in Bologna: the orobic formation got the better without too much effort against Genoa, winning 5-1 also thanks to a Mateo Retegui decidedly inspired in his first as a former Rossoblù: three goals and an assist the loot of the national team striker.
Gasperini’s (another ex-Genoa) team starts strong right away: Lookman at 6′ and Hien at 14′ both shoot just outside the goal mirror, at minute 24 instead Retegui doesn’t miss, getting rid of Vasquez’s marking on the ball put in the middle by Lookman and beating Gollini on a slide. Orobici came close to doubling the score twice before the end of the first half: on 34′ Gollini’s save on Lookman was excellent, on 41′ Kolasinac’s conclusion slipped just wide.
Gilardino, after the intermission, proposes Vogliacco in place of Bani but the substance of the match does not change, so much so that at 50’again Retegui makes it 2-0: the 25-year-old striker pounces on the ball responted by Gollini after Ederson’s conclusion and again punishes the lack of defensive coverage against him. Ten minutes pass and Retegui also becomes an assist man: a precise pass from him allows Ederson to unleash a powerful right-footed shot under the crossbar, making it 3-0.
At 67′ Ekhator and Melegoni came in for Genoa in place of Pinamonti and Miretti, while a minute later Gasperini gave space to Zaniolo and Samardzic for Lookman and De Ketelaere. The Rossoblù are on the ropes and even hurt themselves on 74′: Vogliacco hits the ball in the box with his hand, after the evaluation in the VAR Room comes the confirmation of the penalty kick, which Retegui beats past Gollini for 4-0.
Atalanta really succeeds in everything and at 80’80’ the fifth goal also arrives: it is scored by De Roon, with a splendid volley from over twenty meters that goes in the right side of the Genoese goalkeeper. There’è space, at 83’83;, for the goal of the flag by Ekhator, who beats Carnesecchi in exit after receiving the filtering of Melegoni, but the substance does not change: the Atalanta wins 5-1, rises to 10 in the standings and returns to breathe, while Genoa remains at 5 points, only one conquered from 1° September onwards.

The words of Loris Capirossi
Loris Capirossi spoke about the last MotoGp weekend: “I think it will be a beautiful finale. We have to be honest: è very difficult for Pecco, it must happen that Jorge makes some mistakes, becauseé 24 points gap is a lot. Forò races are always races, anything canò really happen».
“Arithmetically it is not è over. Pecco in Sepang showed that he still believes. And he does well. I think we need to wait until the checkered flag of the real race, becauseé even the Sprint, unless Bagnaia falls, will not decide» nothing».
“Can the challenge between Martin and Bagnaiaò be compared to that between Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, considering they had the same bike? Absolutely sì. They are showing that they have reached a very high level, their challenge is becoming epic. Martin knows he has an almost unique chance, so I think he will be wait-and-see. Pecco, on the other hand, has to bring home the maximum, although it may not be enough”.
“What does Bagnaia have to do, besides having to win races? Have c… In the sense that something has to happen to Jorge. What about Martin? Nothing. he has to stay calm”.

David Luiz rediscovers himself as a penalty taker: we’ve seen better
David Luiz bad from the penalty spot
The third match between Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro in the last ten days è ended in a goalless draw at the Maracanã. A little more than 72 hours after the intense Copa do Brasil final, which saw the title go to the Rio team, the formations found themselves back on the field Wednesday, albeit without some representative elements.
In the first half, Flamengo è failed to take the lead only because of opposing goalkeeper Everson. The’Atl’tico’s extreme defender è was also the protagonist in the highlight of the first 45 minutes, when he parried a penalty kicked by David Luiz: slow and predictable the defender’s execution.
In the second half, good chances on both sides. Matheus Gonçalves, for Flamengo, hit the post of the goal defended by Everson. On the other side, Scarpa and Paulinho orchestrated the best attacks by Atl’tico.
In the final minutes, intensity and running gave way to ball possession and long throws into the box. Neither team è managed to unlock the result, which è remained unchanged: zero to zero.
