On matchday 30 of the 2021-2022 Primavera 1 TIMVISION “Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti” championship, the Nerazzurri claim their sixth victory in a row, the seventh one including the cup. Cisse (in the stock photo) scored the decisive goal in the 1-0 win against Genoa.
The first chance of the game was for the Nerazzurri in the 22nd minute, with Zuccon picking up Cisse’s pass but his finish was parried by the goalkeeper’s feet. Renault had another good chance on 29 minutes to score the opener from the centre of the box but his shot was over.
In the second half, a few efforts by Sidibe and Ceresoli from distance preceded Atalanta’s lead, which arrived in the 64th minute: Sidibe set up Cisse, who fired in an angled drive from point-blank range. The 1-0 lead lasted until the end, with the Nerazzurri defence allowing the visitors very little and taking few risks.
