Isak Hien, 26, became a big match hero for Atalanta.
The Swede nodded home the victory in extra time.
Genoa had their goalkeeper Nicola Leali sent off already in the third minute of the match, but despite that managed to hold tight until the clock was 93:30.
Then came the decision.
Hien reached the top of a corner from the left, headed the ball into the net and then celebrated wildly with his teammates.
“SANTA IS FROM SWEDEN”, Atalanta writes on her social media.
Shortly after the goal, the referee blew the match off.
– It’s been a long time since we won away from home, and these three points were important for us. We played better in the second half, but it was still tough, Isak Hien told DAZN after the match.
First goal in Serie A
The goal was the Swede’s first in 102 Serie A matches, and for his effort he was named man of the match.
Atalanta is in ninth place in the table, and will face league leader Inter in the next match.
