5) 11/5/19, Atalanta 2-1 Genoa. Who broke the deadlock?

Barrow

Due to renovation works on the Curva Nord stand, Atalanta moved to Reggio Emilia to hold the last two home fixtures of the 2018/19 season. The Nerazzurri faced a tough Genoa side to fight for the crucial points for the historic Champions League qualification. Atalanta had to struggle in the first half but, in the early minute of the second half, it was Musa Barrow to break the deadlock. Castagne killed off the match a few minutes afterwards. The final goal from Pandev wasn’t of any help.
