Atalanta smashed four past Genoa and comfortably advanced to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia.

The Orobica side’s success was clear-cut, facilitated by Seydou Fini’s expulsion in the 36th minute, when he intervened in a foul manner to stop Raoul Bellanova.

Berat Djimsiti opened the scoring in the 19th minute by taking advantage of a perfect assist from Zalewsk.

Mario Pasalic’s signature on the Orobico’s tris: the Croatian was quick to take advantage of Gianluca Scamacca’s deflection, then also came Atalanta’s fourth goal thanks to Ahanor’s header just before the triple whistle.

Raffaele Palladino’s side dominated throughout the match against a Genoa side that complicated itself with Seydou Fini’s red card: the Ligurians could not contain the Orobici, who will now face Juventus in the quarterfinals.
