Mateo Retegui scored a hat-trick in Atalanta's emphatic 5-1 victory over Genoa, marking a significant win in Serie A that condemned his former club to a heavy defeat. Retegui opened the scoring in the 24th minute, followed by a second goal shortly after halftime, and completed his treble with a penalty kick in the 74th minute. Ederson and Marten de Roon also contributed with stunning goals, while Jeff Ekhator netted a consolation for Genoa, who fell to the relegation zone. The victory moved Atalanta up to ninth place in the league with 10 points, while Genoa remains in deep trouble with just five points.
