It was a night of sheer frustration for Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium as they failed to break down a stubborn Genoa side, settling for a 0. 0 stalemate that ultimately confirmed the Grifone. �s top flight survival for another season. For the majority of the encounter, the hosts had the lion. �s share of possession and created the more dangerous openings, but fortune was not on their side. Giacomo Raspadori came closest to breaking the deadlock when he rattled the woodwork with a venomous strike from distance, a moment that left the home faithful gasping in disbelief. Genoa, fully aware of what was at stake, gave a good account of themselves by defending with great discipline and organisation, frustrating the usually free flowing Dea attack. In the scheme of things, the point was far more valuable for the visitors, who now mathematically cannot be dragged into the relegation mire. Atalanta, meanwhile, will look back on this result as two points dropped in their quest for a higher league finish, a missed opportunity that could prove costly in the weeks ahead. The Nigerian international Ademola Lookman was introduced from the bench for the hosts, but he could not produce the magical moment needed to unlock the Genoa defence, his pace and directness not quite finding the cutting edge required on the night.
