21:39 FT: Atalanta 2-2 Verona

Hellas out of the bottom three! Atalanta now without a home win in two months.

Into 5 minutes of added time.

21:32 Verona subs

Coppola and Tchatchoua on, Folorunsho and Centonze off. Verona have entered the time-wasting portion of the match.

21:30 Save on Miranchuk!

Atalanta want all three points, Miranchuk scorcher from distance beaten away by Montipo’ for a corner. On the resulting corner, it is knocked down for Hien, whose free header is wide! Probably offside, though.

21:26 Dani Silva booked

World’s most obvious yellow card for literally hanging onto the shirt and getting dragged along like Indiana Jones under the truck.

21:24 Atalanta sub

Hateboer on, Holm off. Verona wanted a corner for a Swiderski header wide, they say it was deflected.

21:23 There is a pattern here

This weekend the relegation-threatened teams all made their mark. Sassuolo 3-3 Milan. Inter 2-2 Cagliari. Napoli 2-2 Frosinone.

21:22 Holm miss

Atalanta move it well from left to right, but Holm picks the wrong choice and blasts over from a difficult angle. Should’ve gone for the far post…

21:19 Verona subs

Atalanta again, through ball for Pasalic, but the first touch lets him down.

Mitrovic and Vinagre on, Lazovic and Suslov off.

21:16 Save on Miranchuk!

21:02 Atalanta 2-2 Verona: Tijjani Noslin!

Atalanta have not come out for this second half at all! Cross floated into the six-yard box from the right by Centonze, nobody reacts except Noslin, who at full stretch flicks it in off the outside of the boot!

21:01 Verona sub

Swiderski on, Bonazzoli off

20:59 Atalanta 2-1 Verona: Darko Lazovic!

Noslin on the counter-attack, rolls across for Lazovic, who fires the finish through Toloi’s legs into the far bottom corner, wrong-footing Carnesecchi.

20:59 Atalanta move

De Ketelaere gets down the right, pulls back for Scamacca, but well intercepted.

20:52 Verona chance

Quite a long period of possession, cross to Cabal, strike parried with difficulty by Carnesecchi, then Bonazzoli offside and nods wide anyway.

20:48 2nd half kicks off: Atalanta 2-0 Verona!

20:32 Half-Time: Atalanta 2-0 Verona

Scamacca goal, then assist for Ederson.

20:29 Koopmeiners strike

Smart free kick routine, Pasalic rolled it across for Koopmeiners, he hit it hard and low, well smothered.

20:18 Koopmeiners close!

Koopmeiners onto the CDK through ball, angled drive across the face of goal SKIMS the far post!

20:17 Save on Pasalic

Koopmeiners floats a ball over the top for the Pasalic glancing header, Montipo’ has to palm it off the line for a corner.

20:13 Ederson goal

 

20:09 Scamacca goal

 

20:08 Should do better!

Atalanta are a thing of beauty when they play like this, swarming forward in numbers, but Pasalic this time balloons over from a very promising position.

20:07 Atalanta chance

Long throw-in, CDK flicks it on for Koopmeiners, who is onside, but volleys over from close range.

20:06 Carnesecchi risky

Carnesecchi tries to start a move from the back, surprises Holm and is glad Lazovic fires it over the bar.

20:04 Atalanta 2-0 Verona: Ederson!

That was the same move, Suslov got the finish all wrong, Atalanta countered, smart first-time Scamacca through ball releases Ederson through acres of space to score one-on-one. Verona defending like Liverpool there…

20:04 Verona chance

Noslin sprints down the right, pulls back to the edge of the area, Suslov gets it all wrong.

19:59 Atalanta 1-0 Verona: Gianluca Scamacca!

He can’t stop scoring at the moment! Atalanta win the ball back, Koopmeiners slide-rule pass, Scamacca takes a first touch with his left foot to flick it up into the air and then hits it on the volley with the right boot under the bar!

19:57 Atalanta corner

Atalanta corner cleared, Verona try to go on the counter, but Cabal gets the pass wrong for Lazovic. That was three against one.

19:54 Tactical note

19:34 Fiorentina 1-1 Genoa

 

19:32 FT: Fiorentina 1-1 Genoa

Fiorentina tried to the end, but couldn’t find a way through. Still only 3 Serie A wins in 2024.

19:29 Oof!

Bani flings himself in the way of Kouame to prevent a counter-attack and gets a knock to the face for his trouble, where he already has a protective mask.

19:25 Stoppages

6 minutes awarded.

19:21 Bit of chaos

Fiorentina want a penalty for handball, Genoa want a free kick. It’s the latter for a kick on poor Vasquez, but the Haps wide arm was first…

19:20 Coming up next

 

19:19 Acrobatic

A bit too acrobatic from Nico Gonzalez, nearly hit a Genoa defender with the overhead kick.

19:19 Fiorentina sub

19:13 Genoa sub

Badelj (former Fiorentina captain) off, Strootman on.

19:10 Fiorentina pushing

Martinez-Quarta header deflected for a corner. Then Ikone attempts an audacious back-heel flick, but it’s off target.

19:07 No Penalty!

Referee, on his Serie A debut no less, sees it again and decides to give a free kick against Genoa instead.

19:06 VAR!

It was mutual wrestling, so VAR On-Field Review. Retegui looked like he started it, really…

19:04 Another Genoa penalty!

This time Retegui brought down by Kayode on a corner. Bit of mutual wrestling.

19:02 Fiorentina close

Mandragora free kick SKIMS the near top corner!

19:00 Bonaventura run

Bonaventura gets to the by-line and pulls back, but into the arms of the goalkeeper. Genoa defender Spence booked pretty much the moment he came on, then Ranieri went into a sliding tackle on Thorsby, who then landed on his ankle.

18:57 Ikone goal

 

18:55 Genoa subs

Reteguim Spence and Haps on, Ekuban, Sabelli and Martin off.

18:48 Fiorentina 1-1 Genoa: Jonathan Ikone!

The cross from Jack Bonaventura was simply magnificent, Floated right onto his head at the back post, Ikone got away from Aaron Martin to nod in!

18:47 Arthur over

18:39 Fiorentina sub

Arthur Melo replaces Alfred Duncan.

18:31 The best news

 

18:22 Gudmundsson goal

 

18:22 Half-Time: Fiorentina 0-1 Genoa

Gudmundsson penalty decisive, Belotti goal earlier ruled offside.

18:21 Fiorentina push

Cross for Belotti, but he slips and can’t get the header under control.

18:17 Genoa sub

Messias off, Thorsby on.

18:17 Messias injured

Messias just went down clutching the top of his thigh.

18:14 Fiorentina 0-1 Genoa: Albert Gudmundsson penalty!

Sends Terracciano the wrong way to convert with a delicate little finish. A bit Jorginho-esque. But good.

18:13 Penalty for Genoa!

Messias pounces on a loose ball in the final third, Terracciano makes the save, but then Parisi catches Ekuban, who had tried to get on the rebound.

18:12 Genoa danger

Cross from the right for Messias header, he tries to knock it back down rather than towards goal and that probably was not the best idea. Just before that, Martinez-Quarta clumsy interception on a cross almost helped Messias, it just bounced on his head.

18:11 Save on Sottil

Corner taken short for Sottil half-volley from outside the box, deflected and Martinez has to pluck it out from under the bar.

18:09 Kayode attempts

First Kayode juggles with the ball and the half-volley is eventually charged down, then that was either a bad shot or a really bad cross…

18:04 Chaotic corner

Fiorentina corner comes to Belotti, is knocked back at him, goes out for another corner.

18:00 DISALLOWED

Never mind the potential foul, it was also offside.

17:58 Fiorentina 1-0 Genoa: Andrea Belotti!

Genoa angry as Bani robbed by Bonaventura, they think it was a foul, then Beltran through ball for Belotti, who springs the offside trap and scores from a tricky angle with a snooker shot into the far bottom corner!

17:55 Noooo Ekuban!

No fist-bump for you after that! On the corner, Duncan stumbles and Ekuban is allowed a completely free header, which he turns wide!

17:55 Big save on Ekuban!

Aaron Martin cross from the left, Ekuban gets away from Ranieri and steers the header from 12 yards, Terracciano flies to fingertip it over! Striker impressed, gives the keeper a fist-bump.

17:51 Beltran so close

That grazed the woodwork! Fiorentina counter-attack with Beltran, combines with Bonaventura and then his right-foot curler SKIMS the top corner.

17:49 Genoa again

Ekuban blasts over from outside the box after turning between defenders. Parisi needs treatment, he has a cut to his lip.

17:45 Genoa chance

Gudmundsson through ball for Messias, who is about to get the shot away, until a decisive Ranieri sliding tackle! Even then there’s a risk, as Terracciano has to change direction and prevent the own goal.

17:40 Ikone effort

Ikone runs forward, curler a little weak, easily smothered.

17:39 Messias over

Messias runs onto an Ekuban through ball and fires over, but the offside flag is up anyway.
